A few of my hobbies...
Staying active and being healthy are very important aspects of my life. During the summer my friends and I love spending time outdoors whether it be at Grand Haven beach, running, rollerblading or swimming in the pool, we always want to have fun in the sun!

Welcome to West Michigan's own private paradise...
Ever since I can remember, our family has visited Grand Haven every summer. It is a small historical town with a lot to offer. Grand Haven is famous for its "singing sands", which basically means if you listen carefully, you can hear squeaks below your feet! As we got older, going to the beach was more for spending time with friends rather than going with our families. Every summer we go to the beach and lay out all day with hundreds of other college students and families too and enjoy the hot sun, beautiful beaches and walking on the pier. Sometimes, we even jump off...that is...if we're daring enough!
Grand Haven to us, is our private getaway. There is so much to do while your at the beach. Every summer during the month of July, Grand Haven holds the Coast Guard Festival. This is a week long event with Carnival rides, fireworks, shopping and thousands of people. During the summer, Grand Haven is definetly the place to be.

Rollerblading is a newer hobby of mine that my friends and I enjoy doing during the hot summer days. When I was younger I would rollerblade very often, then I gave it up for a few years. Last year my mom got me new K2 skates like the one shown above, and I fell in love with the sport all over again. On the days that it seems to humid or hot to run outside, we rollerblade instead which is just as great of a workout as running. When Kristen and I go out for a skate, she is always my breaks when going down a hill... haven't quite mastered that yet. But hey, it's good for a laugh everytime!
I also really enjoy running and staying in shape. My roommates and I go to the rec all the time and either run on the indoor track or outside, we lift, do abs and often times the eliptical machines. I really enjoy staying fit and working out, it not only helps me to feel good, but it is a great stress reliever!
