Guitar anyone?!

With all the time I have during nap times and at night before Casey gets home... I have decided to teach myself how to play the Guitar! I can play the Flute, Piccolo, Trombone, and Piano and thought why not add in another instrument? I want to play it all! But this is especially something I have been wanting to do for awhile. So far... This week I have learned a few drills to practice. I have also learned to play Wonderwall by Oasis, Sweet Home Alabama, And Our Song by Taylor swift. I am reverting back to lessons that actually teach you chords instead of learning to play songs and not really knowing what I am playing (notes wise). So for chords the only ones I have memorized so far are C and G. The others I am slowly getting. But yes it takes awhile. I want to be able to actually read the music. I love the way the guitar sounds and love being able to make such incredible sounds come from a few strings tied on a piece of wood. All instruments fascinate me, they always have... hence me being in marching band in high school haha. I am hoping to be able to really understand and play Guitar somewhat decent by the end of summer. Also... I am now FINALLY studying to get my massage license which is WAY overdue. Casey and I got married when I had about 3 months of school left then we moved to Florida so I never have had the chance to get it. I moved the day after my graduation and have regretted not getting it since. So wish me luck when the time comes to take this 225 dollar test. Ugh... it intimidates me. Oh!! And.... because I know you all care... I am down to 131!! and that's WITH my clothes on!! Only about 6 pounds to go before I can say that I am where I want to be. I am just happy that I am almost back to the 120's! haha. Never thought I'd be saying that. Anywho... those are just some tidbits on what's been up with me lately :)
