I am thrilled to be taking part in my very first 7 Quick Takes! Why I am so excited?  Because perhaps my favorite blogger is the creator and host of 7QT. Jennifer Fulwiler is the author of  conversiondiary.com. I have read her blog for years (seriously), so I this feels like quite a blogging (w)rite of passage.

Also exciting (perhaps just a little bit more exciting than number 1)—the wedding is officially ONE YEAR FROM TODAY! Or as my friend, Cesca, put it, today is my negative-one year anniversary. Yes, in 365 days, I will be a Mrs.!

I am very much looking forward to it, and I am also excitedly looking forward to reviewing my vendors. Some have been so amazing to work with that I truly want to tell people how wonderful they are in order to bring them to more business. However, there has been one in particular that has been horrible as far as their business know-how goes, and I would encourage people to think twice about them.  Sorry I can’t disclose who is who, but I have still have contracts out. More to come next year, I guess.

Living in Colorado, these past few weeks, I have learned that keeping an umbrella in the trunk of your car is not at all helpful.  As I’m sure many of you know, as the flood waters decrease, there is still much damage and people who have been displaced. Please do what you can to help people affected by the flood in CO, most especially, keeping them all in your prayers.

I got nothing done last night besides making dinner and talking to people.  Even though when I first thought about it, I felt like nothing on my to-do list really got complete, I realized there is nothing better than feeling connected to some of the people in your life that matter.  I only wish I had the time to talk to everyone I miss so much!

I am quite resistant to technology change. And frankly, I don’t know much about the technology that exists now. That being said, I still cannot decide if I want to upgrade my iPhone to iOS7. It looks cool, but different, and I don’t know how I will warm up to that. I like some of the features, and group messaging looks great, but I’m still so undecided. Anyone love or hate it? In the meantime, I will be scouring the Internet researching for something to sway my option.

Not only do I not know much about technology, but apparently I am just prone to destroying it. Long story short, I can’t keep lattes by my keyboard anymore. Having a sticky keyboard to clean this morning might be ok if this was the first time it had happened… or even the second.

This video has been getting a crazy amount of hits. A co-worker showed it to me about two weeks ago, and I can't believe how much buzz I have seen surrounding it since. Not only that, but within our events team, it has come up a lot-inside and outside of the office. 

My friend who student taught in Norway said their educational system has a great emphasis on creativity. Apparently so. In case you are looking for something to make you laugh this afternoon...                                             
Well, with that, happy Friday!
