Oct 29th-Nov 4th - Halloween & Miss NY USA Headshot!

During the week I worked at Scott Miller and I found another Sherri Hill dress online that I liked even more than the one I picked out before. I went to Joeval's Formalwear but they said that they were not sure if it would come in time for Miss New York USA in January! I was willing to take a chance because I knew it could be the one so we ordered it!

Wednesday night Mike and I went to my house for an early Thanksgiving dinner since we would not be home for the actual day. Sensei Snow, who owned Fairport Karate Academy before my Mom, was visiting so he dined with us which was nice. I love the holiday food that my Mom makes every year!

The next day was Halloween! I knew I was going to be a nerd but last minute I put together things that Mike and I already owned and then Mike's Dad gave me funny fake teeth!

At night I was home helping hand out candy and the kids were so adorable! The next night we went out to eat at Pomodoro Grill and Wine Bar to celebrate Thanksgiving! I was sad that I would not be home for the holiday but it is the meaning behind it that counts. I am beyond thankful for all of my loved ones in my life! 

On Saturday Mike and I went to our friend's sister's wedding. It was in a beautiful church and was a nice service. Then we went to cocktail hour and the reception at Turning Stone Casino! There were hundreds of people at the reception and the maid of honor was my friend Katie from college! Everything was very impressive, especially a video they played that a crew filmed throughout the day. Congratulations Lisa and Michael, we had a great time celebrating with you!

The next day we drove back to Rochester and I modeled a dress from The Limited in a fashion show I was asked to walk in at Eastview Mall. I got to see some people that I know from throughout the years and I got to meet some new models. 

All on that one day it was Charlie, Tony and Jorge's birthdays! Jorge is from Peru and was staying at Mike's house so we had dinner and cake to celebrate! Then my Mom and a group of people came over to hear Jorge talk about his experiences which was nice. On Monday I went to Carrie Mateosian's photography studio to get my Miss New York USA headshot taken! Scott Miller himself did my hair and Silvana from Scott Miller did my makeup. I was so thankful to have such a talented team work on this with me! 

I had a great time shooting with them and then I headed to Scott Miller to work for the night. Afterwards I got ready to head to LA the next day!
