I've wanted to see the Church for a while now and I'm so glad that I finally got the chance. They put on an incredible show - every ethereal sound you hear on any one of their albums was perfectly replicated on stage. I was very happy to hear them play a lot of my favourite songs: "Reptile", "Unguarded Moment",  and "Metropolis" - just to name a few. And of course, they played their famous one, "Under the Milkyway". As an added bonus, I met Steve Kilbey (the lead singer) and spoke with him for not even a minute, but still!

Around Our Home - Halloween Edition

Hey, everyone! I figured it would be fun to start a new series called "Around Our Home". A series where I show you guys a little bit of what our home looks like at any given time. Now that October is here, what better way to kick off this series with showing you our Halloween decor! Now I love decorating - I adore the idea of finding or making unique pieces for our home. Special touches that really make it ours. And I really love decorating for the holidays. For example, when the first day of Fall rolls around I start decorating. And once October hits, I add even more fun Halloween pieces into the mix. Skulls, pumpkins, bats, you name it. And of course my favourite; a Kilner jar full of mellowcreme pumpkins (that will take me close to six months to finish). I hope you enjoy a look around our home!

Do you like decorating? What's your favourite holiday to decorate for? Let me know in the comments below! And if you'd like to see other areas of our home, let me know!

Date Night: Ella's Folk Art Cafe

On Friday we had a little out of town date night. We hit up Ikea (yes, Ikea) and then went to Ella's Folk Art Cafe in Tampa. This was the third time Alex has taken me to Ella's. The first time we went was when we went to Comic Con and then we went again for my birthday last year. If you haven't been there before, and live in Central Florida, I highly suggest heading over there. Ella's has tons of artwork from local artists and even has live music. As for their food, we've never disappointed. This time we shared an order of the homemade black bean hummus. For dinner, I got the "The Wino" burger and Alex got the "Tuna Tartare Tacos" and "Rasta-Far-Fries". Luckily we got to sit outside - even though it was raining. It was pretty cool!

All in all, we had an extremely lovely time. There's also been talk about heading back there this coming Saturday with family. Fingers crossed that we get to eat their killer food again!

Through the Lens: Smashed Pumpkins

Happy October, everyone! I hope you enjoy these photos of an imploded jack-o-lantern; back from when Alex & I started dating.
