I Love Fall

Living in Tahoe, we tend to get only two seasons here. Those are winter(like ten months of the year) and summer. This year however, we got a nice fall, which I must say is absolutely breathtaking here. Today Robert and I went on a walk on the trail that is close by our house, and I couldn't help but feel that warm, happy sensation as I took in all that was around me. The leaves on the trees are a mix of beautiful reds and yellows and the surrounding fields have that nice golden color to them now. We stopped by a small creek that runs off the side of the trail and just watched it run for awhile. Robert stuck his hand in and immediately shouted, "THAT'S COLD!". I could have said, "Yeah, it's probably going to be cold," but I just laughed instead.
We continued our walk up to Nevada Beach and just sat and watched the lake for awhile. It was so calm and peaceful, which is a completely different scene from the summer months up here. To be honest, it was really nice not having to deal with crowds that are usually there. It was kinda nice just to listen to nature for a bit.
We walked back home and Robert set a nice fire for me in the fireplace. I lit my fall scented candles,(Yankee Candles of course) and curled up with a blanket. I attempted to do a little studying ( I got a little done) but was pretty much unsuccessful because I just was enjoying the coziness I felt too much. I love fall. I love the brisk feeling in the air, and the warm clothes I get to dig out of my closet seasonally. I love fires in the fireplace and hot cocoa to drink. I love lighting candles and the early sunsets. I wish it could be this way up here all year long. But alas, in a few weeks we will be getting the seasonal snow. I'm kind of looking forward to it. What I am looking forward to is decorating the house for the holidays, learning to snowboard (I'm going to do it this year!) and spending time with my family and friends. :)

Hello!

Well, this is my SECOND, yes, second attempt to create and maintain a blog. I have always been somewhat envious of my friends and collegues that are able to create such fun blogs of their own, so I figured, this is the time to do it. I have always enjoyed writing, and this will be a great way to keep family and friends informed of what Robbie and I are up to here in South Lake Tahoe.
Well, what first.. Robert and I FINALLY GOT MARRIED! Yay! We got married September 17, 2011 in Davis, CA. It was such a beautiful and memorable day. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. We were surrounded by family and friends and shared many great memories that day. I can't believe that was almost two months ago! Where does the time go?
Currently, we are still living in our little condo in South Lake Tahoe. Robert is still working as a Table Games Supervisor and hopefully will be getting promoted to full time soon! I got a job this year working for Lake Tahoe Unified School District teaching special education preschool. I love it! At the same time, I am also studying Early Childhood Special Education through a distance learning program at Sacramento State. It has been a lot to take on, but I guess you could say I like a challenge! I am learning so much from my classes and am enjoying every minute of working with my students. I couldn't have asked for a better class of kiddos.
Hopefully, I get better at writing in this blog more often. Life is pretty hectic right now, but I am very, very happy with my little life. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Robert and me. :) ROCK ON!
