Snowboarding at Cataloochee, NC & Winter Olympics Highlights

Took a break from photo-shoots and photo-editing last week. Bobby and I spent one more time in Asheville, NC before the snow is all gone and Catalochee Ski Area is closed for the season. We got to snowboard several times last week, and I'm not too sure if that was probably the smartest thing to do. We had SO much fun, but we are both still bruised and muscles are still sore. Shaun White and Gretchen Bleiler make snowboarding look so easy at the Winter Olympics, but I'm sure they had their share of pain and bruises too. I think Bobby and I ate more snow than actually standing on our boards--haha. Next time, I'll bring chocolate syrup with me ;)

Speaking of the Winter Olympics, this had been an eventful last 17 days in Vancouver! Besides both the Opening and Closing ceremonies, the events that I will surely remember from this olympic are:

- Shaun White's phenomenal snowboarding tricks

- Michael Weir's pink tassel on his figure skating costume

- Evan Lysacek's feathered cuffs and of course, his figure skating gold :)

- Sven Kramer angry emotions after his coach instructed him the wrong lane

- USA Men Bobsled Team winning the gold

- Bode Miller's quest for gold

- The crazy costume worn by the Russian ice dancing skaters

- Media-created drama between Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso

- Apolo Ohno victories and even that one DQ

- Joannie Rochette's strength to skate even after her mom's death

- The mesmerizing skate by Kim Yu-Na of South Korea :)

- The thrilling hockey game between Canada and USA for the gold!

I could go on and on with many more of my favorite highlights :) If you can't get enough of them just like me, be sure to check out www.nbcolympics.com for more highlights and recaps :)

Here are some photos I took from my iPhone last week when we went snowboarding :)

Office Break in Asheville/Maggie Valley, NC

Hi guys! Hope ya'll had nice Christmas Day with family and friends!! Congratulations to all the newly engaged brides :) I am very excited with you!! Thank you for stopping by and checking out my artwork and for connecting with me :)

We are currently in an office break for the holidays, but I will try to blog while we're up here in North Carolina. :) Bobby and I are also gonna attempt snowboarding at Cataloochee Ski Area (for my 28th birthday today!), so please, say a prayer for us since I'm deathly afraid of falling off a chairlift ;-)

I will also try to get back to your email inquiries as soon as I can :)
