I’m beginning to discover that Denver is not only full of music, art, food, festivals, and shopping, but it’s also jam-packed with book lovers. I know, it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here. (Do I say that every time now?) But I really have been busy. Since we last spoke, I traveled to Europe, … More Denver Lit Fest
Andrew and I met Ashley & Chris when we were all in our mid- to early-twenties. Somehow, the four of us had each woken up one day and decided to run away to Savannah, Georgia. As recent college graduates, none of us pictured our five-year-plans involving working in hospitality at barely above minimum wage in … More Music-Filled Weekend in Texas
Though I lived in Maine for more than half my adult life, I still considered myself a fair-weathered girl until I moved to Colorado.
