This week has been a great one! I did my second photo shoot with The Loop at Hawthorne Racetrack yesterday. I got to do some really fun photos sessions including riding a male horse named Christina (yes, I found it odd too), some pictures in a jockey outfit, and even did some photos of me rolling around in REAL $100 dollar bills! These photos will all be published and made into a calendar-type form for Hawthorne Racetrack and they will be available the day after Thanksgiving. Next set of business: doing photo shoots for the 2013 calendar!

Please don’t forget that this Sunday is Veterans Day. This holiday is very near and dear to my heart as not only did I serve in the United States Marine Corps actively for 4 years, but I consider the military my family. These veterans deserve your upmost respect and they were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy living up to what we each believe to be the American Dream. We all have someone that we know that has served or is still serving, so be sure to take a moment out of your day and say ‘Thank you’.
