- Reading
I never thought that I would love to read,
but I do. That’s probably not something that you would think you would hear
from an English Major, but it’s true. It took me a while to grow an
appreciation for reading. I think that is because I viewed reading as something
that I had to do – mainly for classes. I was reading what I was told to read.
Once I started branching out and reading books on my own that interested me, I
really started to love reading!
- Painting
Painting is another thing that I have grown
to love. You know that story if you’ve been following me. My sister in law invited
me to a painting class, and I fell in love with it. I saw, for the first time, that
painting is not nearly as difficult as I once thought. I actually have been
chomping at the bits to do some more painting. Hopefully I’ll be able to get
something cranked out soon.
Is that a hobby? I don’t know if it really
classifies as one, but I’m going to. I definitely spend a lot of time on
Pinterest and attribute a lot of new things in my life to it – new recipes,
decorating tips, craft ideas, organizational tools, etc. Pinterest never ceases
to amaze me! I love the great ideas and feel very accomplished when I complete
one! I wish I had a dime for every time I’ve said, “I saw that on Pinterest.”
- Cooking
I love to cook and wish I did it more. I’ll
give props to my mom and grandmothers for that. I definitely learned from the
best! I love to try new recipes as well as make the “oldy-goldy” favorites. I
love to figure out what works and what doesn’t. I love to make up my own
recipes (that comes from my dad – just think “Miller Surprise”).
- Working Out
Again, I’m not sure if this is REALLY a
hobby, but it is definitely something that I do on a regular basis. Like I have
mentioned in the past, David and I have been members of a local gym for about a
year and a half, and Savannah has been my hard-core work out partner now for
about 6 months. Sav and I are doing two classes in the week – Rush Power (1
hour of weight lifting) and Rush Core (30 mins of core workout) and then do
some work on our own the other days. She and I have both lost a good bit of
weight in the last few years and are working hard now to tone everything else. I
keep looking for the day when I will not be so sore after these workouts, but so
far that hasn’t happened yet.
