(That's me: Desarae!)
I can quickly and unashamedly be defined by pretty much every bullet point in "Stuff White People Like". I love local breweries (beer snob), herbal tea, Farmer's Market, pointless home DIY projects (currently stenciling the back of the closets in my guest bedroom), ethnic food, dry humor (and intense sarcasm), the dog park, hiking, camping, coffee (black) and apparently overusing parentheses. I'm incredibly close to my family and would do anything for my nieces. I work with Preschool-aged kids who have hearing and speech disorders. They forever change my life every day and I couldn't adore them any more than I do.
In 2 weeks I'm headed down to Florida to help my sister out with her two girls (and 1 on the way) while her husband is deployed for a year. Unfortunately this means leaving my best friend Kelsey behind in Kentucky.
We decided to keep us bonded while apart we would train for a Triathlon together and track our progress along the way (hence the birth of this wonderful blog!). Being at two different fitness levels --She's a yoga instructing, bike-commuting, 5k running BEAST. I sometimes walk to the corner store 1/10 of a mile from work to buy a Nutty Bar and Red Bull on my lunch break -- should make it quite the adventure!
