Blog #1

Apparently Chris and I are waay behind in the blogging world. When your own mother gets after you for "not having a blog" you know it's time to get with it. I won't go into how long it took me to set this stupid thing up when she probably had her's up and going in five minutes. I thought this would be a good way to keep in touch with everyone. Now that JoAnn knows how to leave comments I have no excuse left :)

I'll catch you up with recent Walker events:

Yard -
It's a known fact we did not buy our house for the landscaping. There's a lot of work to do. Want to see something funny? How about two engineers making a flower bed... I'll bet it's the straightest flower bed in Kitsap County.
Step #1: Stake out the "plan"

Step #2: Draw the straightest line you've ever seen

Step #3: DIG! Unfortunately I pulled my back while digging - I'm paying now...

All of this was done under the watchful eye of our supervisor.

We stopped by the local nursery today and are now proud owners of four beautiful rhoedies and a hydrangea. Chris is outside digging holes right now... maybe I pulled my back at the right time :)


Beach -
Last weekend we loaded up the car and headed to the coast for Memorial Day weekend. After a long and frustrating drive we were rewarded with a great weekend in Long Beach with my parents.
Chris and Dad put new counters and a new sink in. I nursed the back.
Bear made sure we took him on long beach walks. There is nothing happier then a dog playing fetch on the beach.
Of course... a nightly campfire per Chris' request.
Hair -
Yesterday I treated myself to a loong overdue haircut. I wanted to keep it long for the wedding - after that, all bets were off. Elena and I met at JoAnn's house for dinner and hair cuts all around. Naturally, Chris and Scott went to the driving range. JoAnn got a trim and color, Chels a lovely new style and I went for the biggie - five inches!

Before - Elena was armed with the scissors.
During - YIKES!
After - thanks Elena!
Alright - that's it for now, stay tuned for more! Love you guys!
