Hey Missy, Hope all is well with you!
I haven't read your blog in so long, I need to go back and play catch up!
The Usual Suspects is that old? Still a great movie!
I remember that Oklahoma City bombing like it was yesterday. At the time I had 3 young children so the fact that children had been killed was just devastating for me. It still is beyond my comprehension that people could do such a thing to innocent people.
This is such an interesting post! I feel like 1995 just happened!
I was 9 then so I don't really remember any of this :(
Great video though!!!
I like this flashback. I remember where I was when Jerry died.
