My First Post

Hello Bloggers! My name is Kendall Nicole Walker. I have decided to join the blogging world! One of my best friends, Jessica Goodenough-McCormick, inspired me to start my own blog. You can read and follow her blogs here.

I thought: What a great way to keep a journal!

For several reasons:

1. I can type faster than I can write
2. I can post pictures
3. My blog won't get lost (hopefully) vs. book journal
4. My family and friends can read it
5. My future children will be able to read it someday too!

So, as you just read, My Husband, Drew and I do not have children yet. Although, we are starting to try...



We are 28 years old so we thought this would be a good time to get started. Drew and I have been married since July 17, 2010 and August 18, 2010 (I will explain), but have been together since 12/20/2004 so we have had our time together alone for awhile.

My favorite wedding pic!


So, to explain our two different marriage dates... We were getting married on a Saturday so we took off Friday to start preparing for the Wedding. Drew and I schedule had been hectic lately so one of the items on our to do list was to go get our marriage license since both of us had to be present.

You guessed it!

We forgot to go get it! We spoke to the Priest and we were able to go on with the Wedding ceremony (whew!) One month later we were able to schedule with our Priest and witnesses (Sister Paige and Drew's Brother Junior) to sign the marriage license. It just so happened to work out that we signed it one month later on 08/17/2010. We celebrate both anniversaries : )
A Wife's dream come true!

Tomorrow, 12/20/12 marks the 8th anniversary of the day we met. My Husband told me to make sure I was off work by 5pm, but would not say anything further. I could not figure out why he was trying to surprise me since 12/21 is his birthday. If anything, I should be surprising him. Then I remembered "the day we met" anniversary. You can't tell we are 'in love', can you? lol

I will find out what tomorrow brings! Be looking out for that post! Until then...
