Hobbies

Some of my hobbies include reading, hiking, running, kayaking, and spending quality time with my husband.

I enjoy reading fantasy and mystery novels, my bible, and the occasional self-improvement book. My husband and I have enjoyed traveling to hike since we were in high school. We traveled to Colorado last year to hike the Rocky Mountains and we frequent some popular trials in Arkansas and Missouri. I enjoy many thinks that involve physical activity and the outdoors, so running and kayaking are the perfect way to stay healthy and get some sunshine. My husband and I have been married for two years now. We have two dogs and bought a house in Republic this year.
