Beautiful Weekend.....

Aaron and I went fishing on Saturday, it was a beautiful day but of course i was still cold, lol. I like it when it's about 80 outside. That day is was about 70 I think, but it felt a lot colder..... The fish aren't really biting right now, I think they are confused..... it's January and it's been sunny and warm for a week and a half now..... I didn't catch anything, only got a few bites, but I only fished for maybe an hour total. I just relaxed and enjoyed the outdoors. Aaron caught a few of course.....

Yesterday we went out to his parents house and went hiking out to the small creek behind his parents house. Aaron taught me how to gold pan, we only found two VERY small pieces but it was fun. Next time we will take some kind of box that makes it go a lot faster...... It was kind of a coincedence that in the paper yesterday the "today in history" section read.... On this day in 1909..... Since Jan 1, 150 new gold mines had been located and filed for record. The mines were located at Shasta, Old Diggings, Backbone, Whiskeytown, Flat Creek, Ono, Centerville, Spring Creek, Lower Springs, Upper Sacramento, Quartz Hill, Churntown, Muletown, Dog Creek, Igo, South Fork, Harrison Gulch, French Gulch, Pittsburg, Stella, Buckeye, Slate Creek and Echo Lake.

I read that after we had already gone gold panning, and we were panning at a place that was on the list "muletown". I thought that was very interesting.

Well it's back to work tonight for the next three days, maybe four if I decide to pick up an extra shift..... Hope everyone is having a good January :)

The lake is still sooooo low.... we need rain!

My sweet face mask to wear when we are going fast down the lake

The trees that are usually at the bottom of the lake......

Didn't find much

Nearly 80 degrees in January???

Its been a little while since I've updated..... have been waiting until I got the christmas pics from Aaron's camera but I gave up so i'll just post those later. We had a good christmas, I was able to have christmas eve and christmas night off work so that was nice. I made a nice christmas eve dinner for Aaron, his roomate and I, then Aaron and I went to the movies. The next morning we opened our presents to each other and then headed over to his parents house for Christmas with all his Aunts, Uncles, cousins, neice, nephew and Grandparents. It was really nice, I had a good time.

For new years we went to one of Aarons friends house, we had a little potluck with all of his close friends, it was nice and we had waaaayyy too much food. I'm definitely looking forward to this year, I hope its a good one. Can't believe its already 2009, almost 10 years since I graduated high school, yikes.

Aaron's been fishing in a lot of tournaments lately. We finally have a weekend to hang out coming up, I can't wait, however he is trying to get me to go fishing with him on one of the days, lol. But its been warm enough lately (78 degrees!!) so I think i'll be able to handle it..... We are also going to go gold panning up by his parents house, i've never done that before so i'm excited to see what it's like and just be able to learn something new with Aaron.

This last weekend was really fun. I had three of my good friends come into town and visit me, we just had a girls weekend. We went to dinner, drank wine, watched chic flics, went shopping, played guitar hero and just relaxed so that was really nice. Can't wait for them to come back and visit!

Well that about sums up the last 3 weeks, not a whole lot of new stuff to report... oh, Aaron and I celebrated 10 months together yesterday! Its been an awesome 10 months, I am so happy and excited to see what the future holds for us.

My Friends Breanne, Kelsey and Rachel came to visit last weekend

Playing Guitar Hero, so much fun :)

We miss you G
