A Simple Resolution.





I don't want to start over this new year, I'm happy with where I am and what I'm doing. But I do have one simple resolution, this year I will spend more time outdoors. You may wonder why I need to make this a resolution, or why this even matters enough to blog about. But for me, being outside is the key to happiness & this year I plan on being as happy as humanly possible. Well, how about as humanly possible for me- I don't mind giving in to the grumpy Ashley ever once in awhile.

What's your resolution? I'd love to hear.

McCloud Part II.

Here are the rest of the pictures from this weekend. Well, maybe not the rest considering I took over 400 pictures. Jordan's grandparents live outside McCloud in a beautiful wood cabin. Their closest "neighbors" are the owners of the Levi Strauss company, who own a bazillion acres, so it's literally in the middle of nowhere. It makes coming back to Sacramento very difficult. I would give just about anything to live in a place like this.

This is the view from their front patio, need I say more?

On Saturday we went for a {very difficult} hike up a mountain to a hidden lake, which overlooks the most beautiful lake in the world, which where I thought we were spending the day. Jordan forgot to mention the part about hiking up a rocky mountain, and I wasn't prepared at all. Who knew hiking in flip flops wasn't that hard? This was probably the most breathtaking place I've ever been, and there was even a guy playing an accordion up the mountainside. Talk about perfection.

That evening we had a BBQ at the cabin, and went out to check on Jordan's tree. His grandparents planted a tree every time a grandchild was born. Isn't that the sweetest thing? Oh, and I learned how to make origami cranes, which I'm using for something fun soon.

Sunday we went on a walk down the railroad tracks to another one of my favorite places in the entire world. You can only get to Moss Spray Falls by walking down a hidden path off the railroad tracks a few miles outside of Dunsmuir.

We went on a bear hunt Sunday night. And by bear hunt, I don't mean we went out trying to shoot a bear. We just went out for a drive looking for bears. We saw deer, and bear poop, but no bears. I sang, "We're going for a bear hunt, we're going for a bear hunt, a mighty mighty bear hunt, mighty mighty bear hunt", until I drove everyone crazy.
