Just for Fun: 5 Things

I’m playing an old school blogging game called 5 things! I’m sharing some interesting and little-known facts about my life in this post today

I am popping in today to share a fun post: 5 Things about me! Lynda at Fitness Mom Wine Country tagged me to participate in an old-school blogging game just for fun. So, if you want to learn a little bit more about me, keep reading 😉

 

5 Things I have a passion for:

1. My family
2. God
3. Fitness
4. Adventure
5. Good food (flashback on the salad photo – I have posted this photo before because it’s just so good!)

5 Things I Would Like To Do Before I Die:

1. Try and learn to surf (try being the key word here)
2. Go on a missions trip and work in an orphanage or safe-house for trafficking victims
3. Skydive
4. Travel to Africa and follow the steps of David Livingstone
5. Go scuba diving

5 Things I Say A Lot:

1. I love you
2. Okay
3. No
4. Maybe
5. Wait (most of those involve my kids asking for things, haha!)

5 Books Or Magazines I Have Read Lately:

1. The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
2. Run Like a Mother
3. The Red Bulletin Magazine (great magazine! I can read about people who do crazy stuff I am too scared to do – like base jumping off Mount Everest)
4. Oxygen (so bummed that the publishing company went bankrupt! I will miss the Clean Eating Magazine, too)
5. The Magician’s Nephew (the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia that I was reading to my kids)

5 Fave Movies:

1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I’m a bit of a LOTR nerd)
2. The Hobbit (love the book!)
3. Miss Congeniality
4. Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version with Colin Firth)
5. Psych (not a movie, but I had to fit it in somewhere!)

5 Places I Would Love To Travel To:

1. Egypt
2. Petra, Jordan
3. Australia
4. Greece
5. Israel

5 Random Facts about Me:

1. I hate horror anything (movies, music, etc.). Real life can be scary as it is, why add to it by filling your mind with depressing stuff?
2. I love fairy tales and mythical stories (hence my love of LOTR)
3. We don’t have cable (just NetFlix), so I don’t know too much about the newest TV shows. But in this case, I am perfectly okay with being clueless 😉
4. I was home-schooled for most of my school years. Homeschooling works (I graduated college with a 4.0), but it’s difficult and isn’t for everyone. Our 2 kids are in public school, but we might try homeschooling when they get a bit older
5. I went to modeling school when I was a teenager and was in a beauty pageant a few years ago. I am not very confident on stage, and I was pretty awkward, so it wasn’t a very good fit for me.
