Tommy in Paradise

2009-07-03T21:12:00.000-07:00

It turns out much to Karen's and my surprise Tommy really likes to Sun Bath. A really nice surprise for us, he never stopped moving the first few months after we adopted him! This is one of his favorite spots for it at the Lichtenberg house. The only things missing is a lemonade and some sunglasses.

Who knew milking a cow could be so much fun!

So before we left the Palouse we had the opportunity to spend an evening at a ranch just outside of town. Some friends of ours are managing it and gave us a taste of what it is like.

Tommy Trouble

2009-01-12T12:33:00.000-08:00

Some pictures of our beagle Tommy being a mischievous little puppy.

He found a bag of flour in the cupbourd while our backs were turned. You can see the results.

After that fiasco we put him on his leash and tied it to a door. He then chewed through it. :)

Our first Christmas together and my first white Christmas.

We did some sledding after presents

Karen's little sister Kristen bought us a dog for Christmas! This is us with him at the pound. He is a 7 month old beagle mix that we will probably call Tommy. We are going to pick him up on Monday.

We took a trip down to University of Louisiana-Lafayette, and looked for alligators in the swamp with Greg's parents! We ended up finding one, but the picture wasn't too clear, so just imagine us looking at one! Ha Ha.

Eastside Marketplace Gig

Last Friday evening I got to play at Eastside Marketplace (a mall here in Moscow). It was a beautiful day and I got play outside for a couple hours. Here are a couple of pictures from the evening.

So it has been a while since I have written an post and I am feeling a little self conscious about my writing but there is no time like the present so here it goes. As many of you know and as my last post of honeymoon pictures definitely does more than hint at, I got married about 3 weeks ago! The wedding went really well and Karen and I had a wonderful time on our honeymoon. So obviously that has been a big transition in my and Karen's life. We have also had a few other pretty substantial transitions at the same time, so I thought I would share a few of them
So I am now live in Idaho. Wow who could have seen that coming, maybe some of you are not surprised in the slightest but even up to a year ago that was not on my radar. But here I am in the spud state and I must say thus far its been a good move. Of course its just 7 miles away from where I have been living the last 6 years so the scenery hasn't changed too much but the Moscow community is quite a bit different that the Pullman one. Maybe I'll blog more on that later but for now just take my word on it.
One other big transition that we are in process in is that my new wife and I are now the interim pastors of the University of Idaho Chi Alpha group. You probably know that I have been on staff with the WSU Chi Alpha group for the last 6 years but taking on this new leadership role definitely gives it a new dynamic. Karen has been on staff at UI for the past three years so she is familiar with the campus and the XA group so that is making the transition a little smoother, But still it has been a lot to take in right after a wedding.
The school year has gotten off to a good start though I think and we are excited to see what God has in store for us this year

Painting and eating :)

2008-06-26T13:15:00.000-07:00

So at the end of last week Karen and I painted her and soon to be our condo. I think it turned out really well With the help of friends we got it done in two and a half days. I will put up some pictures of it soon. Of course since I was painting I did'nt have time to exercise and really did not need to because of all the hard work. I also ingested a few more calories to supply all the extra energy i needed(I write this with a slight sarcastic smirk on my face)... OK really I ate bad and just didn't exercise. But with a few bike trips to Moscow and eating well I am back on track and have the 240 barrier in my sites.
Oh and by the way on a completely different note there are only 37 days to the wedding. Ok so maybe they are slightly connected :).
