TheLastTime - LOAD132 - Day20

It's about high time I added something to this poor blog of mine! Here is a layout for Day20 of LOAD132. I've been feeling nostalgic about M4 being our last and putting away some of his things to be used no more...:(

January 2013 Wrap-up


It’s that time again!  Another month has passed us by and it is time for a wrap-up.  So why do I do this? First of all my memory is terrible and often find myself wondering when such and such happened. Second of all I love lists and information. Third of all I believe I am a type A personality.
