The show was at the Mercedes Arena. Emersyn commented the arena was much prettier at night when we came to the Adam Lambert Concert.

It all started with a new mozzie net purchased in Bali. The next thing I know, I am rearranging Eleri’s entire room! Eleri did “inherited” the leftover room from when Emersyn moved out. Emersyn had a new, fancy room and Eleri had the old room to herself.

I had the […]
