New Beginnings for the New Year

Vincent and I have had a very exciting day today. We woke up this morning to a ton of snow everywhere (that would be about 4" actually which seems like a ton for a dixie chick). We left our mountain lodge this morning with the snow still falling to continue our sightseeing of the Rocky Mountain National Park. The sky was pouring snow as we drove up the mountain to Bear Lake which was completely covered in snow by the time we arrived. Needless to say, it was a very special moment as we were hugging to stay warm. With this beautiful adventure, Vincent kneeled to propose another one :) See the pictures for the smiles and tears that were to follow...

Ta da!


Top of Breckenridge
(where Vincent skiied from) I was somewhere almost as amazing. Notice the valley in the picture... I was about 10 ft higher than that! hehe.

A halfway frozen lake near Pikes Peak

It was amazing to hear the gurgling noises of the water flowing under the ice.

You can't even tell I was freezing! Fantastic!
