I love reading through the Event Book every month. Without it, I would have on clue about anything that is happening here in Southeast Texas. Even though I've lived here for almost 3 years now, there is still so much to do in this area that I don't know about!
Sure, having a schedule where I'm working many weekends probably has me tuning things out just because I know I can't attend them, but there are so many things that I CAN do!
The Event Book decided to give me an awesome checklist of things to do! Some of them I may not be able to do (due to time restraints, financial restraints, etc.), but I'm going to make it my goal to do as many of these as I can this year.
In case you were wondering what the list entails, see below!

I hope all of you join me in making the commitment to learn more about the area you call home in 2015. Who knows? You may find some hidden treasures that you never knew existed!
