Our Drive to Lake Arrowhead

A few weeks ago Alan and I headed up towards Lake Arrowhead for his work winter party.  We drove right through some thick clouds only to get a glimpse of this beautiful sight.  I don't know about you but this totally reminds me of The Neverending Story...I feel like Falcor's just gonna pop his head out from under the clouds. A flying, oversized, talking dog (my bad, he's actually a luck dragon)...that would be awesome!  Haha...anyways, hope you enjoy the pic's :).  

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 :).
