Today

Between the magic of the Royal Wedding, Scottie's emotional win on American Idol and Oprah's heart-felt farewell, I have shed several tears in front of the television the past few weeks. These teary times were all topped this morning as I turned into a blubbering mess during the 8:00 hour and Meredith's official goodbye. I admit to be over emotional and I cry easily, but I did not expect the amount of tears that made their way down my face this morning. The Today Show has always had a special place in my heart (I used to tell everyone I was going to take over for Katie Couric one day) and turning on NBC every morning as I sip on my coffee has sort have become a routine of comfort for me. I am a loyal Today Show viewer- no other morning show will ever match up. Meredith brought a warmth to the show. Her class, confidence, compassion and amazing sense of humor are some of the things I will miss the most. With the start of a new era on my favorite morning show, I'm excited to see more of Ann Curry and my personal favorite, the always gorgeous Natalie Morales. Even if you don't watch the entire clip, just promise me you'll watch the first 10 seconds...Matt Lauer lip syncing is priceless!!
