Katie, Lately

 

i really couldn't pass up a bedazzled sweater, plus like i said on instagram, when you work in a body shop, your girly side has to compensate for it.

 

i don't wear lipstick very often, but i've been buying a lot of it lately, and i put some on one morning before i realized i still hadn't kissed devin goodbye.i kissed him anyway and he was wearing about as much bright pink lipstick as me! luckily he was just going back to bed, but it was still pretty funny. when i posted this on instagram, he commented and said "worth it" - glad it was!

 

we always made it a point when cooper was a puppy to play with his paws and mouth, and have him get used to people doing that, so he wouldn't bite and be mean, especially to kids, and sometimes devin takes advantage of cooper's patience and does things like this. 

monumental documentation of my first belt purchase in about five years.

 

okay let's talk about this book for a quick second (i will probably do a separate post all about it since i read it for a small impromptu book club) but OMG. seriously. i remember when elizabeth smart went missing. i knew a girl who took harp lessons with her, and she was my age, and it was in SALT LAKE so it really hit home, especially for how young i was. i don't so much remember when she was found, but i am always intrigued by stories like this. i recently read the book "room" which is about a woman and her son who were kidnapped, but this book was different. it's her personal account of her capture, her nine months in the hands of an evil, sick couple, and her manipulative plan that ultimately lead to her freedom. she is such an incredible person, and has so much grace and class and i laughed and cried and totally understood the way this book was written (even though i felt like it was pretty bad writing, but more on all that later). anyway. read this book. it's amazing. she's amazing. 

took devin to a hibachi grill for date night with his childhood best friend, skyler one night, because he had never been! he loved it and wants to go again. this restaurant is quickly becoming one of our favorites! Fuji in Sandy. so delicious and great service. the chicken and steak we got this night was INCREDIBLE. 

and baby cooper, just because LOOK AT HIS TINY LITTLE FACE.
