This is my ultimate FAVORITE "Tear End Review"!!! I haven't seen several of those pics so thank you for sharing your life with those of us who do not have one. :P

And NO, we were not bored at all!

Happy Blessed 2009! Can't wait to see what God has in store for all of us.

Oops...I meant to write "Year-End Review"...not tear-end...although, I did have tears in my eyes with some of those pictures.

Casey, I thought you meant to write "Tear End Review" originally, and I thought it was a nice play on words, since it brought back so many memories from this last year.

AND MEGAN!
How could you ever think we would be bored with your blog, Girl?! We wouldn't be your faithful readers if we were bored with your posts. Thank you for writing and sharing your life with us. I look forward to all God is going to do with you this new year. I hope you will still share it with us here.

love, miss ann
P.S. You are the coolest blogger i know! happy New Year!!!

Ann, Ann, Ann - a play on words would actually mean that I would have THOUGHT about what I wrote...HA HA HA HA!!! My Mad Cow will not allow any more creative original thoughts...but thanks for thinking for half-second that I was creative.
Kiss your precious babies from the Whitt family....and Abigial too, since we STILL have not seen, smelled, held, or eaten her!!! Oh, the horror!!!

P.S. sorry, Megan that I used up your comment space. Am I banned?

Megan said...

Miss Casey~ I actually thought that was original as well! Not everyone can be witty without meaning to be...you're so talented :)

Evann~ Thanks for not being bored with the ramblings of an old friend :)

Courtney~ Yes, it has been a busy year! I've been thinking about graduating in 2009 *gasp* :)

Miss Anne~ Thank you for liking my blog and being my friend and being such a wonderful piano student mommy...you're just great.

I really enjoyed it as well. I thought it was quite a creative way to bring in the New Year on your blog! I really liked it.

Oh, and to answer your question about Ashleigh, I have her on twitter and she mentioned there that her blog had disapeared or something like that. I know that can happen that your blog can be lost in cyber space.

Sob...sniff I would hate if that happen to me and I too miss her blog! I LOVE her blog. So she said on twitter that she is taking a break from the internet world for now.
