What we're thankful for - real love.

Two years ago on Thanksgiving we posted "Our Story," a video chronicle of our time with T.J. in Kazakhstan. Now we've created a new story for both T.J. and Ally. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Being homesick :(

So this is Lisa B. again. Hello everyone! It's been four months since I left TJ to go back to Germany, but I already booked a flight back to Metuchen! I miss him too much, I have to come back to watch him doing super cool Tae Kwon Do :) Today I took the train from Hamburg back home and I used the time to do this little hommage to my time with the tee-minator. Unforgettable scenes like:

- How "fun" a photoshoot with Santa can be

- Bak-O-Bama ad

- Master of Snoring

- How to participate "well" in last day of preschool

8 minutes full of TJ-humor and action will show you that we definitely had a blast together (well...usually...I did not tape the Picasso artwork on his walls - I was too busy removing it)! 

Miss you guys!

On 3/3/08 we posted a blog entry called "TJ the prognosticator."

Turns out he was was indeed correct. Today marks a turning point in how Americans will be viewed around the world. During our trips to Kazakhstan, we almost became embarrassed by our country and how we were perceived. Our leadership has changed us from a revered nation full of opportunity and might to an imperialist nation full of arrogance and waste. Our ability to rally as a nation to embrace tolerance and selflessness will hopefully bring back respect, admiration and trust in our country.



4 Thumbs Up.

P.S. I took T.J. to vote with me and he got to press the "cast vote" button. Although knowing how to push our buttons, he teased us by saying he voted for "John McCain."
