Adeus! Tot ziens! Auf Wiedersehen! Au revoir! Good-bye!

Hello friends and family. After much thought and contemplation, I have decided to close my blog. I have enjoyed this blog so much, but as I strive magnify my callings at home and otherwise, I have found that I no longer have the time (nor mental energy!) to continue. We are doing well here in our little corner of the world, anxiously and excitingly looking forward to future trips and our eventual return to America next summer. Thank you for being a part of our lives in this way and all of your kind comments along the way. I still have all of your email addresses, so rest assured when any BIG news comes along, you will be among the first to know! I look forward to still checking on you through your blogs and continuing to keep in touch!

Much love,

Lisa & company

Love the pictures! I use blurb.com to turn my blog into a book, it's always more work than i want it to be, but i've been happy with the results. good luck with your continued adventures!! we love you!!

bummer! i was just thinking about your blog the other day and wondered where you went. that last picture of you and charlotte is adorable.

blurb.com is the only book place i know of to turn blogs into books, but when i tried it i decided it was easier to just start from scratch. let me know if you find something easier.

my mom said we might see you guys after christmas!? that would be fun! rick and allison will be in idaho too so it would be such a great reunion!

Nooooooooooooooooo!! (Think of when Anakin (aka Darth Vador) finds out that Padme is dead!

LOVE the pics!! Please don't go... just post less frequently if you need to... :)

sad to see ya go... there are 4-5 other kinds of printing places I've tried, but Blurb is the quickest and nicest. Don't do it till you are ready to make the book. Any posts after that you have to put in manually, which makes it take forever!! But you just put in the blog name, choose the way it looks, then put it in. I have one, and will order one every year so I liked them. and they look so nice.

Ann Marie said...

This is NOT a happy thought. I still look at your blog even though I know you are not posting. I for one wish you could hang in there til you get back to the states. I LOVE seeing the pictures! Of course I LOVE your family too!

I mean I love you tons too...but...your family is the BEST! You are always an inspiration!! And...you're the one who got me all set up on the blog. Remember those fun days? Well, don't lose our email address. And, don't delete me from your friend's on facebook. I love you tons!!
