New Year's at Big Bear Lake






Happy New Year everyone!!  Big Bear has always held a special place in my heart.  Many years ago I came here on a church retreat for confirmation.  This also happens to be the place where I met Alan :).  Anyways...this year I spent New Year's weekend in a cabin with a bunch of friends beside Big Bear Lake.  It is absolutely gorgeous out there any time of the year.  It's peaceful and the landscape makes it extremely easy to get away from the rush and enjoy the quiet and beautiful things in life.  Enjoy :).

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch : Irvine

An average visit to the pumpkin patch turned out to be quite a special day.  I've been extremely busy with school and work that it's literally taken over the majority of my time (except of course a few hours of sleep here and there, and occasional breaks for eating).  So anyways, I basically have been dying to get a break and enjoy some time outside doing anything except school work.  Alan and I decided to go to this awesome pumpkin patch that had everything you can dream of.  Horseback riding, a lake, bike rentals, boat rentals, food...EVERYTHING. 

So guess what happened at the pumpkin patch...SURPRISE!!  Alan proposed!  Apparently he had been planning the proposal for the past two months but my crazy schedule kept changing things up on him.  Despite that he still managed to plan a two day fiasco making me feel like such a queen :).

It is just like Alan to always have something up his sleeve.  He had previously driven to my hometown to formally ask for my hand in marriage...so basically, all my family members knew except of course me.  Now looking back, it makes sense why my father had been a bit sentimental in our last phone conversation.  That night after the proposal we went to a very nice candle light dinner overlooking Orange County.  That's when I got to hear all about my family's reaction, a bit emotional but happy tears nonetheless.  The following day he took me to see Shakira.  We had fantastic seats to a very good show.  From here on out every time I see a pumpkin I'm going to remember this special weekend.

Autumn Lights Los Angeles 2010

Alright, this post is so long overdue.  Better late than never! Back in September Alan and I went to Pershing Square in downtown LA to see local artists go crazy using the medium of light.  There was music, video, installations, paintings...you name it.  It was pretty cool overall but I have to admit, I was a little freaked out by some of the installations.  You have to go and check it out for yourself to know what I'm talking about.  So anyways, the photographs below were all done by Alan.  He's been a superb apprentice and is on his way to becoming an exceptional photographer.

My Brother's New Puppy

My little brother recently got a Yorkshire terrier puppy and I am so jealous.  He's so freakin adorable.  He kinda reminds me of a little rat, but regardless I still think he's cute.
