Candi and I had a great time in Palm Springs for our annual Married’s Retreat as the Antelope Valley church joined up with the North Region, Central Region, and a couple others from the Los Angeles church to make a pretty large turnout. Got to see some old friends and catch up on how they’re doing. Learned a lot about our marriage and we still have a lot to talk about as a result of the many guest speakers that spoke over the weekend. Palm Springs was just perfect weather…That is, until Sunday:

It rained all day starting the night before and by the time we headed back, the pass on the 138 just after the 15 freeway looked like a winter wonderland! I was hoping for a few more shots as there were tons of Joshua trees just completely covered with snow -quite an amazing scene as far as the eye can see. A lot of people just thought that the 138 freeway would be the perfect place to pull over and frolic in the snow! That is what slowed down the trip home. No accident, no road closures, just idiots strolling around and crossing the freeway.
The interesting thing for me to think about is the fact that Palm Springs is about a 120 mile drive from home. That’s the same amount of miles I drive EVERY day when I work in Van Nuys!!! Now that’s crazy.
Candi and I talked more about the possibility of me teaching her AutoCAD and doing the drafting together. The more I think about it, the easier it is to visualize that in place -and I like the way it looks in my head. Speaking of visualization, I’ve been doing a lot of that lately. I’ve been visualizing my business, my home, our life, how I’d like the garage to look, all sorts of stuff. It’s been helpful I think to do that as I can get an even clearer idea of what to shoot for.
