Photo Time!

(posted by ange)

I just learned how to add photos here, so I'm going to play a little catch up, do a little practice, and share some photos of some of the things Dave and I have done recently. We're such a darn cute couple, you won't be able to help but smile and sigh and think we should be on the cover of some cute couple magazine. gag, gag, gag.

Seriously though....a bit of day tripping....

I took up skiing this year, as many of you know. We've made a couple trips to Whistler and a few to Cypress. It's been amazing every time for me, just being on the mountain. There is such a sense of freedom in being on the mountain, that close to nature and having a force beyond you propel you down a hill. It's an amazing rush. Here are a few of our skiing escapades...

1. My first day on skis at Whistler. 2. Dave and I in line at Cypress

Dave and I at Blackcomb, again, my first day

As you know, just before Christmas we took advantage of a timeshare deal to spend the weekend up in Whistler. It was a most wonderful weekend where we enjoyed a most beautiful hotel, the lights of the village, and of course, some skiing.

Lights in the Village at night - beautiful!

Christmas day was spent in the traditional way...drinking and playing poker with friends. My friend Kim hosted, Dave graciously played dealer, the majority of us spent more time talking than paying attention to the game and someone Junko, who had never played before, took all our money. Warning...the following images show people old enough to know better than to be that intoxicated!!!!!

Don't mess with Dave the Dealer

Apparently those weren't my chips! Damn!

New Year's Eve...after practicing up on Christmas Day, it was time to hit the real tables. After some wine, pizza and wine at my lovely friend Kim's place, we hit the Edgewater Casino. No big winners, but no big losers. Dave was Even Steven as usual. I was down maybe 10 bucks and I don't think Kim was down much either. Dave and I now have the blackjack bug. We are looking forward to gambling in Portugal!

Practicing before we go!

And there you have it for now. A little photo essay of the life of Ange and Dave. I will definitely be sending photos on the blog from Portugal. It's so super easy now that they've changed it!

Cheers!
