Skype games after midnight

Here is a conversation Olivia and I had when she was at her parents' home in Idaho and I was at my parents' home in Texas. We played an online knock-off-version of Battleship that night.

Greetings from Europe

So... fortunately, Chris invited me to contribute to our blog.
I am currently on the other side of the world touring with the University of Idaho Vandaleers Choir. I am enjoying seeing the sights of Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, but I'd be enjoying them more if Chris were here with me. We are glad there are so many online conveniences that allow us to communicate and plan since I will be returning to the states only three weeks before the wedding.
Stay tuned for more wedding particulars and information about the area.

Enjoy a slideshow!
