Me and my ginger husband,
Blake Patterson, in Hawaii at my
youngest brother's wedding. Our
house was right on the beach!
- April
22
Has anyone else had an eventful year already? In six months I've had one of the most
eventful years I've ever had. I am being very serious... It was PACKED full of events. Happy
and sad. I won't bore you with details, such as my son having a seizure, my two brothers
getting married, or me finding out I need corrective ear surgery to take care of progressive
hearing loss. Those were only a few major events, but I will say that an anonymous person
once said, "You get credit for what you finish, not what you start." I have goals I made
this year and hope to possibly adopt a child, so I plan to finish my year strong and when
December comes I plan to say this was a great year and I finished with a healthy perspective
and a thankful heart for all I learned and gained. Midway it's easy to give up, so I hope this
was a little reminder that you are not alone and the biggest reward is at the finish line.
PHOTOGRAPHER HIGHLIGHT
Frontier Fortitude
Growing up around the rodeo world I have met some of the best rodeo
photographers in the industry. Meet an up-and-coming photographer, Kim
Zierlein, from Wyoming, who owns Frontier Fortitude. She has
already captured so many rodeo famous stars and her work
might be your next favorite print on your wall. Please check
out www.frontierfortitudephotography.com and read her story
on a few great pickup men published in this issue.
Thanks for reading,
