GTKY: Hobbies

Re: GTKY: Hobbies

  • I enjoy dancing. I currently lead a childrens dance ministry but I am stepping down at the end of this year to commit more time to our expanding family! Hopefully once the baby gets a bit older I will be able to start taking dance classes again.

  • Crossfit (I also coach adults and cf kids) and running (10ks). I love most things outdoors that require being physical - skiing, hiking, biking, etc. 

    I can also get down on some video games with my husband from time to time, so there's that.

    @srcr2011 Yum! Those look amazing! I wish I could make treats that look half as good as those.

  • I've always been the more artsy/crafts one in my family, and I've gone through innumerable phases of focusing on sketching, knitting, calligraphy, photography, creative writing, home decorating, etc. I took a few graphic design classes in college, and while I'm nowhere close to professional, I do get to use some of those skills in my job, and I do all the graphic design related projects for my church.
    My favorites, though, are cooking and baking (esp. various types of bread). I started a cooking blog just a few months ago, not because I really thought it would go anywhere, but just because I thought it would be a fun way to exercise my different interests in cooking, graphic design, writing, and so on. Come to find out, the lighting in our basement apartment is not even a little bit amenable to food photography, and then I got pregnant and only wanted to eat saltines for two months, so that project is on hold for now, but I'm hoping to pick it back up eventually!
    Also, H has had a lifelong love affair with fishing (esp. fly fishing), so I've adopted it as a hobby as well, and we really enjoy spending days out on the river every now and then! (He goes at least every few weeks, even in the dead of winter; I mostly just join him in the summer.)
  • I love to crochet, I love making baby blankets! Everyone I know that has a baby has gotten one from me, including my hair dresser!

    I also love photography. I took it in high school and never stopped. I am definitely not a pro, but I like to think that I have an eye for it! I did my sisters engagement pictures and they turned out amazing! :smiley: 
  • DH & I love to hike! Initially it started out as just getting in shape together, but evolved into a quest to find the best views (we live in an area that has a lot of mountains/peaks, so we hike as high as we can).
    This Summer might be rough, since we both want to continue hiking, but have been advised not to go above 7,500ft after 5 1/2 months.
