running, scrapbooking, puzzles, reading

I am currently training for a half-marathon in March. I love working out at Orange Theory Fitness and also running outside. I have been a runner for 15 years.

I also love making creative scrapbooks for my family to enjoy. I have been scrapbooking for 29 years and have countless albums. 

Puzzling is a passion of mine. I find it relaxing and challenging. Recently, I have been enjoying wooden puzzles.

Reading is another passion of mine. I especially love reading the Bible and spiritual growth books. I also read books on different mental health and counseling issues. Once in awhile I enjoy some Christian historical fiction.
