Day four- my hobbies

Still linking up with Jenna's blog for her commenting challenge. Today's post is about my hobbies!

Golf- My husband has always been a golfer and when we got into college, he got me into it. I would take lessons in the summers when I was home from school and ended up really loving it! For the past three years, we have been playing on a very consitent basis and I love that it is something we can do together! It takes up a lot of your day and can get expensive, but it is one of those things we both love and that means we get to spend time together too. So it works out perfect!

Tennis- I started playing tennis when I was 5 and I think my husband has been playing about that long as well. I played all through high school and college, so right now I am still a little burnt out, but I think I am just about to that point where I want to start playing again. It will always be a big part of our lives and we just love the game. It is something we can do forever and hopefully our kids will love it too :)

Cooking- If you have been following my blog or know me at all, cooking is one of my favorite things! I love love love to cook or bake anything and I love to try new recipes. My mom was never the biggest cook, but my dad is, and I think I got it from him. I never saw myself as a good cook but over the past two years, I am making thinkgs from scratch I never thought I would be able to do! It is a big stress reliver for me too- thats not a good thing for my husband ha! If I have had a rough day or just really stressed, he will always come home to a big meal and multiple desserts ha!

Running- I started running when I was in high school and honestly didn't really enjoy. I was on the cross country team because I had to do something to keep me in shape during off season tennis. Well when I got into college I began to love it. With school and tennis practice, I think running was my way out to clear my head. I found lots of friends to run with and that also made it much more enjoyable. My husband also runs, so it was something we always loved doing together at school. We love running races together and can't count how many we have done! I am doing multiple runs this summer- one was last weekend and my next is just here in a few weeks!

Hiking/Outdoors- I know this is kind of broad, but I just love being outside! These past two years of living in AR has made me so much more of an outdoors girl. I love going hiking, bike riding, trail walks, etc! I think because AR has so much of that to offer and I feel like it just has a very outdoorsy feel, its hard to live here and not enjoy it. I will miss some of the pretty trails when we move, but I do love that Tulsa is becoming more like that. Trails are being built, you can now rent bikes on Riverside, and so much more! And we love doing anything that involves cheering on the Hogs!

Only one more... promise...

Traveling- I don't really know if you consider this a hobby, but it is something we LOVE to do.We make it a priority, to go on a vacation a year and it is the best decision we ever made. Especially since we don't have kids yet. I don't know how many people told us to travel a lot before kids, and that was the one thing they regretted the most. It gives us something to look forward to and it is so relaxing to get away and only focus on each other for a week. It's not only refreshing for us, but on our marriage. With how crazy our lives seem to be, it is so worth it. Not once have we ever regreted a vacation.

That's a little about me and what I enjoy doing! I look forward to reading y'alls posts!!
