The best thing about even years….

What’s the best thing about winter in 2014?
It’s time for the Olympics!!!!! I don’t know about you, but I am all kinds of in love with the Olympic games!
Here are my top 5 most favorite events, starting with #5….
#5. Ski Jumping. Holy cow, this is amazing. I am always amazed at what people can do!
#4. Speed Skating. It’s so fast paced and exciting…what’s not to love?
#3. Figure skating. Men’s, women’s, pairs, I love it all!
 #2. The bobsleigh. Just makes me want to watch Cool Runnings over and over again.
And my #1 most favorite winter sport….curling. I don’t know what it is about curling but I am fascinated by it! I look forward to it every time!
What events are your favorite?

    Girl…I love watching the figure skaters and my man is a winter-sport lover so the winter olympics will most definitely be on nonstop! Xx.

    My husband was just talking about how much he loves curling last night! There's something about it that's so fascinating! I love the bob sled and the luge and the "skeleton". They TERRIFY me but I can't tear myself away from the tv at the same time…

    I too love curling! Apparently this year they added team figure skating! They had the event before the opening ceremony, maybe yesterday? I couldn't find where it was televised but sounded interesting!

    I have to confess – I'm not into the Winter Olympics. I used to like the figure skating as a kid so maybe I'll watch some of that?

    I can't wait to show O the Olympics! I think he'll really get into watching some of the "fast" races, like the bobsleigh. Have you seen the awful pictures of some of the hotels there though? Terrible!

    My favorite Olympic event is the Biathlon! It's so strange, but I love it! We are so excited for the games to begin that we are even wearing some American flag apparel today!

    I completely agree! I absolutely LOVE the Olympics. I'm all about skiing and figure skating. And in Cool Runnings fashion I can't wait to see the Jamaican bobsled team this year!!

    I'm going to be so tired the next day from being up late watching. I am more of a summer Olympics girl but love the stories and inspiration. Curling totally intrigues me.

    I can't wait for the all figure skating. Both the pairs, and the mens and womens singles! My husband on the other hand, is not so excited about all the ice skating that will be going down on the tvs around our house, lol! We will definitely be watching the Opening Ceremonies tomorrow, too:)
