When an event is extraordinary...

I love creating events.  There is an obscene amount of detail -- not to mention, actual WORK -- that goes into it, but it never feels like drudgery.  I take pleasure in going through the process of planning and minding every little thing.  But my favorite part is the storytelling.


Any event can be made beautiful.  But not all are necessarily meaningful.


Here is a particular event I absolutely adored: a wedding of a couple who met on an airplane flight.  By Events of Distinction.

When an event is extraordinary, it means it is telling a story.  And telling it well.

Snow-a-board!

Winter is almost over.  I didn't get to build a snowman.  I didn't get to shovel snow.  I didn't even get to make a snow angel.


But I did get to snowboard... Oh, yeah!


Yesterday, we went up to Mad River Mountain.  I was never the athletic type, so everybody pretty much underestimated my chances of learning snowboarding.  


Boy, did I surprise everyone, myself included! I may not have been the fastest learner, but I was able to pick up the sport fairly quickly.  And I absolutely loved it.


When you're riding down a mountain of ice and snow, it's wise to have on the right gear.  I heard Burton was THE brand for the coolest snowboarders.  If and when my husband and I decide to get a wee bit more serious about the sport, we might actually consider investing in all that good stuff.


In any case, here are my personal favorites:


Snowboards!

Boots!

Bindings!
