sad day

it's patriots day - aka marathon monday in my home state of massachusetts. usually an exciting day in the boston area. i remember going to watch with my aunt, uncle, and cousin as a little girl. in 2011, i was lucky enough to cook my friend, becky, a pasta feast before her run.

unfortunately, today's boston marathon took a very sad turn because of bombs being set off near the finish line. what should have been a celebratory moment for today's marathoners, their families, and friends was marred by a senseless attack. i rarely find myself at a loss for words but at the moment, i am. 

my heart is in boston tonight.
