Quick Takes Friday

 

Phew it took me awhile to get this spot on the page! Blogger seems so user-unfriendly most of the time! Grr!

1. Last night, I was closing the skylight blinds to our room, and I noticed the moon. I suddenly got this longing feeling. I haven't seen the moon in a very long time. It doesn't show itself in our living room, and the lights usually reflect off of our windows upstairs when I close the blinds. It was an amazing sight. I missed the moon. Sure, that may sound a little crazy to you! I've just always had this connection to it! You think I'm bonkers, don't you. Well, it's the truth! 

2. My blog has been SUCH a hit, thanks to Lenae !! She suggested I open a Twitter account for my cooking and baking blog, so I did! I opened it on the 4th and almost have 40 followers! I also have twice the amount of views I had before the 4th! How crazy is that?! I'm so excited about my blog.

3. And if you notice when you click on the link to my blog, it's simply kissedbysweets.com!! Not kissedbysweets.blogspot.com! I purchased my own domain name, and it is such an amazing feeling. It's only $10 a YEAR here on Blogger! And totally worth it!! I have such big visions for my blog! I hope you will see as they unfold...

4. Steven has started electric guitar lessons! How exciting! He's so happy he's doing this. He practices almost every night and is so serious about it! His teacher even told him he's good at doing the chords! Go him!! I'm so proud. When Steve takes on a hobby, he puts his entire heart (and money) into it! ;) 

5. I think my Momma is coming out here in the Fall to help me try on Wedding Dresses! I really want her to be there for that since she can't be here for most of the planning. It would be really nice to have her stay with me here!! Especially since she hasn't met Steve!

6. My favorite band is coming to town next week! I am SO excited! They are also becoming one of Steve's favorite bands! I've seen them twice in concert, so I cannot wait to see them a 3rd time! I'm also hitting up Chipotle while I'm there!! I still can't believe there's a Chipotle in London!

7. Why is it I always feel I have nothing to say for the 7th one? Well, it's time for bed! Sweet dreams, everyone!

Quick Takes Friday!

Oh Quick Takes Friday, how I've forgotten about you! I remember once in a blue moon, and tonight's the night! So here goes...

1. I am currently enjoying the sweet sound of an electric guitar that my fiance is now playing. I've had my Angus Young Gibson SG electric guitar for about 5 years but haven't actually played around with it much. I prefer acoustic. Steve has wanted to play the electric since he was a kid, so now he has the chance! He had his first lesson today and it went great!! Now he's getting used to his new amp and the neighbors are most likely cursing us...

2. My cooking and baking blog has been going alright! I am currently googling tips to make it better and to have more people follow it. So far, I've read that I need to have really good pictures and I need to post more often. So I am cooking and baking more, taking lots of pictures, and I'm going to start posting about twice a week, if I can afford to! My pictures have improved, thanks to Picasa! And, if you notice, I am putting less pictures on my blog. I'm thinking that they tend to crowd the blog too much. What do you think? 

3. My first year of University is now finished!! I'm so happy. It went by unbelievably fast, and I know I need to work harder and become more serious for this next year. I am really looking forward to it because it won't just be the basics anymore! 

4. Now that school is over, I need to start looking for a job. I attempted yesterday, but God ended up giving me about 3 signs that I shouldn't go looking that day. Haha!! So I will attempt next week! 

5. My favorite band, Incubus, is coming to London very randomly on Tuesday! They decided to have a concert there because they have 2 concerts in Germany and have a break in between, so why not perform is awesome London?! I can't wait! Steve is meeting me down there! And...I'm totally having Chipotle while I'm there! Yes, there is a Chipotle in London!

6. I believe I am really improving in my Manual/Stick Shift driving lessons! Today I successfully reversed into a bay parking spot twice! Woo!! Next week...roundabouts. I'm not so scared of them, but driving in a stick shift, I kind of am. Especially cause I stall sometimes. Oops! 

7. Finally, it is nice to see Steve's smiling face because he's so happy about his new hobby. It reminds me of how I was when I first started learning guitar in Monterey, and poor Lenae had to endure my never-ending attempts at songs. Thanks, Lenae!! ;)

I hope everyone is having a lovely week and soon to be weekend for some of you!! xoxo
