Tao of Schnoll: 2013 Year in Review

Happy New Year! 2014 has finally arrived and we're excited to see where this year will take us. This past year was definitely a roller coaster of extreme highs and lows. Here are some of our incredible high points from the past year.

We got married! We finally tied the knot on our 4 year anniversary, March 21st, in a small ceremony with friends and family in Mexico. It was an amazing week and the day itself could not have been more perfect.

I started my own company! With a little pushing from Dave, I finally worked up the courage to quit my office job and start my own marketing consultancy. Zephyr Cove Consulting was born and has been an amazing adventure! I'm lucky to have found fantastic clients that have stood by and supported me during our lows this summer.

We had our wedding reception! Since we had such a small ceremony in Mexico, we decided to have a big beach BBQ reception a few months later here in Lake Tahoe. It was a great excuse to get all of our friends and family together for a great weekend, and to continue the wedding celebration!

I surprised Dave with a fun birthday weekend including a Moroccan cooking class and an intro flight lesson over Lake Tahoe!

We completed 4 remodel projects! We managed to complete and survive quite a few remodel projects on the house! It started with changing our 3 bedroom into a 4 bedroom with a remodel of our 2nd floor. We also did a complete makeover on our guest bath with dramatic changes! We expanded our deck and built a small patio for a new hot tub -- excellent investment. Finally, we wrapped up the year with a complete fireplace overhaul in our living room! Stay tuned for posts detailing our projects soon!

We competed in Vail Resorts' #EpicRace and skied 26 resorts across the US and Europe in 29 days! When we first heard about the race, we knew we had found the perfect honeymoon! The race took us not only from Tahoe to Utah and Colorado, but also to Minnesota, Michigan, Austria, Switzerland, and France! We skied some of the most diverse terrain around the world, made some incredible friends, and truly had a once in a lifetime experience! This trip definitely helped us end our crazy year on a high note. To read more about out our trip, click the Epic Race tab on the right hand side of the page.
