olympic love


How AMAZING are the winter games! I am absolutely addicted to them. I have watched as many as I can (I basically keep the channel on NBC all day long), but a few nights ago, I fell in LOVE with snowboarding.

Did you see this?!


Shaun White's performance in the half pipe was incredible. He was flying in the air!!!! Completely inspiring. And then he took gold!

Oh how I wish I could snowboard! I am pretty sure if you saw me try it would be hilarious. This is based on my skiing experience last year where I was so nervous to ski because I hadn't in so long, that I accidently criss-crossed my skis while prepping to get on the chair lift, which made me fall over. Meanwhile the chair was coming at me at full speed, and crashed into me, leaving me stuck underneath it!!! They had to stop the entire chair lift and dig me out...with everyone watching. And that was before I even got UP the mountain! oof...

Hey, we can't be good at everything right? :)  I guess I will just have to stick to my creative talents. Though I might just have to purchase their snowboarding outfit, cause seriously, how awesome did they look...
