Hope everybody had a great weekend!

I watched baseball and football all weekend and was stoked to see San Francisco holding it down!

It was awesome to see the 49ers win. The first half wasn’t pretty and I know it’s got to be hard to stay motivated and when you’re frustrated with numerous turnovers, flags and bad calls. It seemed like the ball was going backwards more than forward in the first half and it was almost comical hearing the announcers say “2nd and a bunch” and “3rd and forever” (It was 30 yards for a 1st down).

It’s the determination and tenacity I love watching and seeing them stay with it. It definitely paid off. Go 9ers!

The Giants started the series against the Phillies with a win on Saturday. Cody Ross definitely had their number with hitting 2 home runs in the first game! He hit another home run last night-even though they lost. They are playing tomorrow in SF and I can’t wait to see them back on their home field.

Here’s an interview with Cody after Game 1. It’s very cool to see how humble he is and gives it back to his team. The Giants do have some great pitchers;)

Watch Cody’s Interview

Anybody else watch the games this weekend?

I’m really into the new series on the Discovery channel called “Surviving the Cut.” It’s about the intense, brutal training that the military elite forces go through. It covers Special Forces Divers, Marine Recon, Air Force Pararescue, Navy EOD, Marine Snipers and Army Rangers. It’s really inspiring to see these men push through the most physical and psychological training you could ever go through. Now I have an even greater respect for these guys. They are the definition of hardcore! It’s awesome to see what you can achieve when you are 100% dedicated and mentally committed.

I’ve been boxing a lot in the last two months and it’s really tough, but I love it. I really like challenging myself and my body beyond where I think I can go. When you push yourself, you get stronger.

The last episode of “Surviving the Cut” airs tonight!

Much love,

This video made me laugh so hard, I had to share it with you. It is so cute how excited these guys got when they heard Miss Philippines made it into the top 15 finalists in the Miss Universe pageant. It made me wonder, what would make me go this crazy? Here’s my answer: If Guns N Roses (from 1987) came and played at my birthday party.

I’m curious, what would make you this excited?

I just returned home after an amazing adventure shooting with The Captain! It was one of the most physically challenging jobs but also the most rewarding seeing how incredible everything turned out. I can’t wait for you to see the photos and how I was able to my use sword skills!

Look out for it mid-October. Here’s a little drawing of The Captain and my swords to get your blood flowing…

Much love,
