Greek Feta Burgers - Guest Blogger

My great bloggy friend, Jes from Exposing the Drapes to My 20's has agreed to fill in for a post while I'm on vacation.  A little about Jes, a Mississippi native, she is about 4 weeks away from graduating from a prestigious design school in Savannah, GA and her talent and passion for design already impress all of her loyal followers.  She will soon be unveiling a new blog dedicated solely to this passion and you don't want to miss it.  She walks with God daily and her love for her two Yorkies is sweet as pie.  And just so you know, I did not pay Jes much any money to say the following:

First of all, I feel very honored, excited, and also appreciative to be a guest blogger for Courtney today.  I truly enjoy her blog and I am very envious of her amazing photography skills and craftiness. We have become such great friends, and she is truly an AMAZING person.

Every now and then a girl needs a vacation, right?  So while Courtney is sitting on the beach soaking up some rays with a good book, I will be sharing with you a tasty burger for all your summer afternoons.
