We really all have a different perspective on that.\u00a0 When we set out to do this restaurant, we wanted to maintain as much of a &#8220;normal life&#8221; as we could for our children. Of course, what we consider normal is not always normal to someone else.\u00a0 This is the reason we are closed onSundays and Mondays. Sunday has always been a family day. This is also why we close for a week in August to go on family vacas, and we close at Christmas and New Years.\u00a0 Our kids needed us to be there, and by doing that it helps us stay balanced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>What do you do for fun?\u00a0<\/strong> Going to the lake, fishing, going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\">Target<\/a> with my daughter, chillin outside with my son, having coffee with my mom, concerts, cooking, listening to music, and sometimes I just sit and watch reality shows for hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>If you were going to give one piece of advice to a young person who wanted to get into the business\u00a0of\u00a0barbecue\u00a0or just &#8220;food&#8221; in general,\u00a0what would that be?\u00a0 <\/strong>You really have to love doing it. You have to love not just smoking meat or the cooking, but running a business.\u00a0 It&#8217;s much more than just food, it&#8217;s all of it\u2026employees, taxes, costing, vendors, taxes, fix this, fix that, rarely a day off at the beginning, taxes, and still providing great food.\u00a0 It really is all worth it if you love it, but you have to go in with the love of food and the love of running your own business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>If you could do something outside of the\u00a0restaurant\/hospitality\u00a0business, what would that be?\u00a0<\/strong> Real Estate. I did commercial leasing and corporate housing prior to this and absolutely loved it.\u00a0 I decided to put it on the back burner to be a stay at home mom, which I would never trade.\u00a0 We do own some properties so I get to dabble in it a little and hopefully a bit more in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>When you actually get the chance&#8230;what do you do for fun\u00a0with girlfriends or\u00a0a &#8220;Night Out?&#8221;\u00a0 <\/strong>Wow, that&#8217;s pretty rare, typically a night out would be Will and I going to eat fajitas and drink margaritas or dinner with some friends.
