So..... I just found out last week that Moxie Fab World is back, hop over to check it out!




Last night we met up with Linda and Bruce for dinner, it was great to see them again after a long break.

After dinner, my husband and I went to The Smith Center for Chris Botti's concert, we watched him 3 times, this is by far the best concerts he had.
