Sam Says Yes To The Dress
Hello and happy Tuesday! I’m back in Arizona after a wonderful whirlwind weekend in New York and New Jersey. It was packed with beautiful views, not only of the city skyline but also of my best friend looking the part of perfection in a series of potential wedding dresses.

2013 is off to a great start. Both Bobby and I woke up in the new year feeling nearly better and ready for a day of fun with my family that included watching the Northwestern Wildcats take on Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, […]
