The second day of the new year, Husband, myself, and a friend went to see Gareth Emery at The Church Nightclub. I still can't believe we saw THE Gareth Emery. It feels almost surreal. We were right up near his station. He played a couple of familiar songs and ended the night with "Concrete Angel"... Continue Reading →
Only a couple more days before the end of the year! I can't believe how fast this year flew by. This year, my reading goal was 60 books. I surpassed that with 63 books (although, Goodreads only tracked up to 62 books because the 63rd book didn't make it into their database in time for... Continue Reading →
