It is Veteran's Day today and Nicole and I wanted to say thank you to anyone who has served or is currently serving in the military! Your dedication to country and preserving our freedom is one of the main reasons we want to give back by participating in the Portraits of Love. If you have a loved one serving overseas and want to send them a photograph of you or your family at no cost to you, please contact us!

This morning we woke up, brushed our teeth, chased aubrey around the house, let the dogs out and checked email as we do every day. What made today a bit different was seeing a very sweet email from a local resident in the Sauk area. She wrote about how she saw our article in the Sauk Prairie Eagle newspaper and thought what we were doing was wonderful for military families and how we bring the fun out in our photos.
Two things came to our mind when we read this awesome email: 1. Donna gets up really early as it was sent at 6:30am : ) and 2. With all of our car troubles and photo editing, we almost forgot about the newspaper article coming out today!
So I put a jacket over my pajamas and hopped in our extravagent loaner car and went to the local grocery store. I was expecting a small article buried somewhere in the middle or end of the paper with a small black & white photo the reporter took of our family outside. Therefor I was shocked to see we made the front page with a full color photo! I grabbed a stack of them and went to the checkout. The lady at the checkout gave me an odd look for buying so many of the same paper, so I showed her the photo on the front page and smiled for her. She brought her glasses down and started reading the paper as a line started forming behind me : ) !
Nicole and I wanted to say a big Thank You to Jeremiah who wrote the article and his editor for finding out about Portraits of Love and wanting to do a story on it. We really hope this, along with our NBC15 news segment which airs next week will spread the word to military families who can take advantage of the program!
