Five things

 I was tagged by both Emily  and Elissa to do this 'five things' post, where you state five facts about yourself. I was excited, until I realized that I'm not very interesting, and have basically disclosed any and all interesting facts about myself when I was nominated for the Liebster award. But I dug deep, and here are a few little factoids about myself that most of you may not know (unless you're a stalker, or an exceptionally good Google-r).

1. I used to really dabble in photography. And by dabble I mean from ages 14-19, I spent every waking moment taking photos and learning how to edit them. I'd even been hired to photograph a few weddings, and I'd planned on making photography my career, until I realized that I didn't want my hobby to become my job. I almost dropped photography completely once I started college, and didn't really pick it up much until I started this blog. I still don't take photos of much, and only edit photos that I put on the blog, but I miss it. If you're interested (and brave), you can go here to see my Flickr gallery from when I was in the later years of high school, and if you're even more brave, my deviantArt account from my earlier high school years. You've been warned. It's teenage-y and angsty.

2. I don't keep up with any TV series except a few shows on HGTV (something I never thought I'd be interested in, ever) and Pretty Little Liars. Is that lame? It's like my guilty pleasure show. I do watch other tv series, I just always track them down on Netflix years after they ended (such as my favey faves: Smallville and Lost, and now 24). I'm sure in another 5 years I'll finally stumble onto the Walking Dead or Scandal.

3. I went to college for two years and studed Business Admin, and then dropped out for ministry school. I then dropped out of that when I was half done because my husband (fiance at the time) had just been ordained and was being moved from where we were (Texas) back to Michigan, so I left school temporarily and went with him. So basically, I'm a dropout. It's fine. I always figured I'd go to school forever and leave with a ton of degrees. I really like school. Well, I liked school. I honestly would struggle so much if I had to go back! But I plan to finish ministry school one day. And when I do, you can start calling me Minister Lynette Marie. Or just Lynette is fine... :)

4. Thought I don't talk about it a lot, I really love my job. As some of you may know, I'm a receptionist for a real estate agency. I never thought I would end up in real estate, but I really love it, even as just a receptionist. I could easily see myself in this field for a long time. Real estate, that is. Not receptionism (receptionistism?).

5. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Qdoba's three cheese nachos. Except for the fact that they're like 1500 calories (not joking), so I rarely indulge, but I could, for my whole life. That and a Thai noodle dish called Pad Si Ew. Do yourself a favor and order that the next time you're in a Thai restaurant. You're welcome.
