I know that I am truly blessed in this life. I have a wonderful family, fantastic friends, the best husband. I love being surrounded by these people–they’re what makes my life truly wonderful.

I’m not normally one to do a lot of restaurant reviews. It’s just not my thing and I often don’t want to carry my big camera into places. But sometimes I make an exception, like when I’m on vacation or meeting some really fun people! Last weekend, I found myself at Betty’s Classic American on [...]
