Walker Update

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is starting to enjoy the spring weather. Here in England it changes so much one day it is just beautiful, sunny and warm, and the next it is freezing, raining, and windy like it was still winter. Pretty crazy. Well not much is going on for us. I am keeping busy working and hanging out with friends. Just this weekend I went with a group of women from my bible study to a heart spa rally. It was wonderful. We went to Alconbury RAFB, about 1 hour from Mildenhall, on Friday afternoon. We had supper and then got to make some home spa remedies. On Saturday we got pampered with pedicures, manicures, and facials. We had a wonderful speaker who talked to us about being a light for God in our everyday activities. It was just a great weekend to get away and hang out with other women who love God and not be stuck at home.
As for Owen I get to talk to him about every 2-3 days. He is keeping busy with flying but loves it. He is on the night schedule so he sleeps most of the day. He said it is getting pretty hot there so he is glad to be flying at night when it is cool. He said there is not much to do there but eat, workout, and watch movies but it is not that bad, could be worse. A friend from church who was there sent me a picture so I would sort of know what it was like there.
Well that is about it for now. Just keep us in your prayers. If you want to email Owen is address is owenkwalker@gmail.com
Talk to you later,

He's Gone

Well it is pretty quiet in the Walker household. Owen left bright and early yesterday for his 2 month deployment to Al Udeid in Quatar. He should return mid June He will be quite busy, flying as much as possible. He is living in a trailer that is split into different rooms with each room holding 2 people. The bathrooms and showers are in another trailer and they have a food hall where they can get things to eat almost 24 hrs a day. They are allowed a TV if they can find one and one computer that has to be wiped clean before they can use it. Not too pleasant but could be worse I guess. We are able to email and he calls whenever he gets a chance. I talked to him yesterday just long enough to let me know he made it and was doing fine. As for me I am doing better than I thought I would be but I am trying to keep as busy as possible with work. The nights will be the hardest and the longest but I guess I will manage, right. I am planning a trip home the end of May for a couple of weeks to help pass the time and I can't wait to see everyone again. Well that is it for now. I will keep you posted. Feel free to write or call I would love to talk to everyone or just come visit that would be great. :)

Talk you soon,
