My Hobbies!
Wakeboarding
I LOVE to wake board! I started wake boarding for the first time in the spring of 2011. My husband and a bunch of his Army buddies from work all wanted to go out and wake board during spring break, and I decided to go along. I loved watching them jump the wake and carve the water, I had to try! It took a few times, but I got up, and now I LOVE the sport!! I just got a new board more conducive to my height and weight, and I am learning to do tricks I never thought I would ever be able to do! It is a great way to stay in shape in the summer, and being on the water is our second home as a family.
Running
In the last three years, I have become absolutely addicted to running! I LOVE it!! I commonly joke that the only reason I stay sane (which is a matter of opinion) is because I run! I ran my very first half marathon in November of 2013, and I finished my first full marathon at the Soldier's Marathon in November 2014! I have run tons of 5k's, 10k's, and even one 15k, which is pictured here! This is the Hot Chocolate 5k/15k, and it was freezing, hilly, and SO MUCH FUN!!! At the finish line they gave all of us hot chocolate and a huge cup of melted chocolate and marshmallows, pretzels, bananas, and rice krispie treats to dip in it!! I love running races, and I don't have any plans to stop any time soon!
Reading
Reading is my favorite thing to do when I have extra time on my hands. I will almost read anything that is put in front of me. Most recently, my favorite thing to read has been the Hunger Games!! It was AMAZING!!!!! Everyone must read this!!! Other series that I enjoy include Sookie Stackhouse and Harper Connely by Charlaine Harris, the TWILIGHT series, anything written by Nicolas Sparks, Danielle Steel, or Chevy Stevens.
