Vegas, Baby!
Posted in MISC. on Jan 1st, 2016
My love had business to tend to in Vegas and invited me to join him! It was my first time, but not my last. Yes, there’s some unsavory elements, and it can be a bit overwhelming, but there are positive elements too, and I choose to focus on those. We were only there two nights, […]
