Christmas 2013

 

Christmas Eve I went to a service at my church. Donnie had just gotten off work when it ended so sadly he couldn't make it. But here I am all dressed up.

 

 

He was all dressed up too (so handsome in his tie). We took our dressed up selves to see this awesome street all filled with lights! It was beautiful...so beautiful....

 

 

 

And of course we had to take some memories!

 

 

At another time in December we went back to this place and finished looking at all the lights....not dressed up this time xD

 

 

Then we went to Loma Rica and saw more lights :)

 

 

It was truly a magical time. This house on Loma Rica had music playing and we danced on the road next to it. It was so...well it felt like it was something out of a movie. It was just perfect :D

 

An Old Town Sacramento Adventure!

   Yesterday I went to do an ECERS (a critique of a preschool) at the preschool by my college. Donnie came to pick me up and we actually ended up looking at the yard sale the college was having. One of the buildings was shutting down and they were getting rid of their tables, chairs, bookshelves, and cabinets. We found a bookshelf that I wanted to put in the kids' room and he found a cabinet-thing to put in his barn for his tools. Oh he was soo excited! "It's like Christmas! he kept saying. And he truly acted like a boy on Christmas day :D

  Donnie called his little brother and friend to come help and bring their truck too. We loaded one piece of furniture on theirs and the other on our truck. We got home and unloaded the tool-cabinet into his barn and the shelf by the front porch. We spent a couple hours at home. Then headed up to Sac.

  We walked around Downtown Sac for a bit and when I saw Christmas store, I absolutely insisted on going in! It was so awesome! I love Christmas with every ounce of me. There was even Christmas music and Donnie commented on how the people that work in there must get tired of it, and I told him that I would love to work in that store! Christmas every day!! Whoop whoop! I was even more excited when I saw that they had icicle lights hanging from a tree in there and lit up trees... Why was I so excited?? Because I want those for our wedding that's why...not that it's official, but we talked about it. Then we looked at the snow globes and Donnie really liked the ice skating snowman one. He said we could get one and to pick one...so I picked the snowman one :D Donnie says I only picked it because it was the one he liked...I'll never tell! ;)

 Now it was dinner time...the plan was to go to The Firehouse, since it was a restaurant in which neither one of us have been in and therefore we could make new memories. Well as it turns out, and as I have mentioned quite a few times, it was a fancy restaurant, even had valet parking. So we decided not to go there that time, instead we ate at the mall. Next time we'll just take a change of dress up clothes with us.

   Hahaha, it was so much "fun" trying to find a parking spot....no I'm just being sarcastic here -_-
Either his truck was too tall to fit in one of the garages or, the only garage big enough, closed at 9. We had planned to see a movie at 7 and didn't want to be rushed or have his truck trapped in the garage and us be stranded (which might not have been a bad thing ;) ). We ended up parking at one of those 2 hour parking spots, after figuring out that we only had to pay until 8 pm and then it'd be free. That was cool.

    After we ate, we went to the theater and watched The Amazing Spiderman 2. It ended around 9:30ish and we left for home.

  Had to walk through a tunnel to get to our truck though....and decided to take a picture since we hadn't taken any all day!

Easter Fun!

 

Easter Sunday, Donnie and I went to a brunch at my Gram's church. Then we went over to Donnie's house where we painted and decorated eggs. *Donnie and Charles*

 

We had another carton like that with eggs but I didn't get a picture of the other one :p The other one had more "face" ones (had more eggs with faces on them).

 

I actually only did some of the real eggs. Donnie did most of them, and Charles helped. I was feeling a bit tired and my Honey tried to have me take a nap and even tucked me in...but I climbed right out of that bed. Didn't want to sleep the day out. So I went into the living room and filled all the plastic eggs with candy. Charles came and helped me.

 

After that we took them outside where Donnie snipped the ends of glow sticks and sprinkled the glow on the eggs for our Night-Time Easter Egg Hunt.

 

 

When everyone arrived and it grew dark, we hid these eggs and the kids went wild!

 

 

Another great adventure ended and it was time to go home. Until next time...!

Lake Francis

 

Packed up the truck with my Honey, Charles, his niece (Laura), and Laura's friend. Then we headed out to Lake Francis!!

 

 

 

There was a little island in the middle of the lake that Donnie and I swam up to. I ended up using a floating because....well because I couldn't swim that long. There were two rope swings out there and we tried them out both :D When we were ready to swim back we found our little floaty...destroyed. Guessing it were those 3 boys that showed up on the island later on. So I had to swim to another side of the lake because it was closer, even that was far though. Donnie let me hold onto him for a bit.

 

When we got back to shore, we set up the horse shoes and played a couple games. Laura and her friend.

 

My hottie boyfriend! <3

 

Me! :D

 

Donnie and I won....but since it was only my second time playing I only scored one point for our team. Lame I know. But over all it was a great day and we had a blast!

Our Mountain Adventure!

Yesterday we went up to the mountains, past Collins Lake, past Browns Valley and Brownsville, and over by La Porte. Donnie, his son, his nephew, and I, as well as his friend Bill, Billy, Sonja, and their kids, were on a search for a ghost town there, a city/town that has been abandoned.

We went over a bridge, a dam, and stopped to stretch our legs. We threw rocks off the bridge and watched them splatter down below. And of course we took some photos!

Then we really got up in the woods...got lost a couple of times....well ok, maybe more than just a couple, like five, but who's counting right?

Finally our friends and us pulled over again and they informed us that they only had a quarter of a tank left...well that was a bummer, there wasn't a gas station anywhere near! So they turned around and went to a lake we  passed and fished while we continued on to see if we could find this ghost town our friends were talking about.

On the way, we found another dam and took some pictures....

 

 

 

 

 

And climbed some rocks.....

We didn't find the ghost town but we did find the "view" that indicated we were going in the right direction. Of course Donnie and I didn't know where this ghost town was so we decided to go back...after a little fun in the SNOW of course!

 

 

 

Donnie attempted to make a snow angel...lol

 

 

That's right there was snow! It was so exciting :) First we found little patches here and there and then we found snow everywhere we looked!

We shoveled some snow in the back of the truck for the other kids to play with. But first, we played in some ourselves! Donnie used a Frisbee to shovel with...

Even built a snowman :D

Man the snow was deep on the road, just look at how little my feet look compared to this! By the way, we did not expect there to be snow so nobody brought any boots...

Then we went to the lake with the rest of the troop and did some fishing, had a BBQ, and of course shot some BB guns! First time for me. And might I brag that I shot the target (a soda can) on my first try! No no I don't have time for autographs, thank you, you are all too kind. ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't the lake so beautiful...wow! *Lost Lake*

At the end of the day when the sun has set, it grew very cold, and my feet turned numb. I went to sit in the truck and ate my BBQ chicken. Donnie came up, turned the heater on, took off my shoes and placed them on his belly, and said "I love you". I smiled and said, "I can tell". What an incredible man....he'd put my freezing, dirty feet on his belly to warm them up...that is true love there for sure!

We went to his house, where I read the kiddos a bed time story, said good bye, and Donnie took me home.
