Phyllis- I didn't even know that I got #200! I guess I'll have to make it a "super-edition". Ilana-Davita- Yes, it is nice. I guess there's more than one way to define friends. The Babysitter- It seems like everyone is- tons of people have left her congratulations.
Hadassah is radiating all over! So wonderful to share her simcha. On Twitter, it seems her fiance got into a mishap with a deer on his way home. Troopers saved the day, he is OK.
I even told my husband she got engaged. He knew which blogger I was talking about (and he never reads blogs, he's looked at mine once or twice).

hey, i think you get to host hh#200 - how lucky are you?;-)
I like how we are all overjoeyed by the news, like good old friends.
I was so happy to hear the news!
Phyllis-
I didn't even know that I got #200! I guess I'll have to make it a "super-edition".
Ilana-Davita-
Yes, it is nice. I guess there's more than one way to define friends.
The Babysitter-
It seems like everyone is- tons of people have left her congratulations.
aw thanks everyone!!
i am so blissful right now....feeling the love from all directions!
Hadassah is radiating all over! So wonderful to share her simcha. On Twitter, it seems her fiance got into a mishap with a deer on his way home. Troopers saved the day, he is OK.
I even told my husband she got engaged. He knew which blogger I was talking about (and he never reads blogs, he's looked at mine once or twice).
So, a big mazel tov to her!
Don't you all agree Hadassah should have a virtual wedding that we could all attend???
And it won't cost you like what?--$300 a couple??
Baila-
I totally agree! I think that she should set up streaming video and live blog the whole wedding.
