Boys


So the other night I showed Joe this beautiful picture of flowers that I would love for the wedding. I wanted to get his opinion, because, well, they are. . . "pink". So I asked him..."what do you think about this?" To my surprise he said he liked it! I was shocked that he would go for the "pink", (or what I like to call "Cerise") so I probed further and asked him what exactly he liked. . . In TOTAL seriousness he repiled "the salt shakers!" Arghh! Gotta love him! (:

The Resort


So...Joe and I have decided to have our wedding at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa!!! This is such a special place for me because I grew up going there as a kid. I remember Sunday brunches after church and exploring the hotel with my big bro John. The day we found the tennis courts on the roof was the absolute coolest! Anyway, this is a picture of the grass lawn where the ceremony will be held (minus the fog and rain...hopefully!) Its hard to see in the picture but it the whole area overlooks the lake. Let me just say....We are so excited!!!! I will post details soon about Room blocks, lodging, etc, soon. :) If you want more, check out laresort.com

Mtn fires


This post is long overdue, however, I wanted to take a minute to show this picture of the fire in Running Springs. When I saw this picture I could have sworn it was fake, but it definately isnt. This was taken from the "downtown" of running springs looking back towards where my old house is. What a scary time it was for the mountain community and friends. I know a couple of people who lost their homes and my thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families. Joe and I hope to get involved in some type of clean up work over the holidays, we want to help in way we can. Joe is actually planning a fundraising event here in stockton for the fire victims of socal. He is calling it the "Volley Ball" ! Basically, it will be a "ball" for all current men's and women's volleyball players as well as all alums. He will be donating all of the proceeds to socal fire victims, particularly the mtn community if he can. He has such a big heart and is such a great man. I feel very lucky everyday.

Gold Country


A couple of weeks ago Joe and I decided to take a Sunday drive through gold country. It was B-e-a-utiful! We had been wanting to go and finally did. We hit up a country fair at a carmel apple and bought some FRESH honey (my fav!). Anyway, this was a scenic spot where we stopped to take a picture.
