Happy 90th Birthday

March 23, 2006 was my grandpa Walkers 90th birthday. Most of the family was able to make it up to Boise to help him celebrate this accomplishment. Chad shares the same birthday with Grandpa so it made it an even better celebration.



Here are the two birthday boys, Grandpa and Chad.

Match Day

March 16, 2006 was Match Day. This is the day that we found out where we were going for residency. The day that I learned that I was moving to Phoenix. That evening we had a Match Party in Redlands. The theme was Black and White, not necessarily meaning formal black tie! The food was terrible but it was a lot of fun to get together and see friends that I have not seen in a long time.

Danae her boyfriend decided to add some variety to the evening coming as a Zebra.

The March Snow

Winter came late this year in So Cal. In the middle of March when it is usually starting to get hot we had several weeks of cold weather. This made the weekends a little more fun since we were able to go into the mountains and play in the snow (yes it does snow in southern California too!).


In southern California these rugged road conditions require chains ON all vehicles in order to continue so we were turned around with everyone else because we did not have chains.

From this picture you would think that we were in a blizzard!!

Here is Teresa doing what she loves best.


This is the first time that I have been in the snow with my truck. Thats what I get for buying it in the summer and moving to So Cal.
