Ellie's Belly


With much trepidation and excitement I sent off my first commissioned article of clothing to my sister's baby, Ellie. Each part of the familiar process was new an exciting as I tried to make the piece unique, and most importantly, mine. I had no idea how scary it was to express your tastes and preferences. I tell you, it becomes a whole new ball game when you know someone is expecting something good, from your hands. So, without further adieu I present... Princess Ellie.

Well this is the when, where, and how my happily ever after begins: I was walking on the backstreets of Beijing with my little sister Annie, our friend Christian Richter, and our personal tour guide Shannon. We had just gotten done riding tandem bikes through the Hutong and were walking through some alleyways filled with teenagers and vendors selling stinky tofu on sticks. I cleared a corner and saw him. He was tall, handsome, and best of all… AMERICAN. We talked all evening about Chinese corn flavored popsicles, communism, and how he is NOT related to President Thomas S … we went our separate ways, me with his business card, and him only with my name. I spent the remainder of my time in China smiling and recalling the encounter- and came home to a Facebook message from him. We proceeded to Skype for hours at a time about once a week, making ...

I can still feel the memory almost as vividly as the moment I was experiencing it. I was dressed in white, walking into one of the most beautiful rooms of the Temple, and as I passed the threshold of the room, I crossed a tangible barrier of love. Tears flooded my eyes and I was overwhelmed at the support and excitement I felt from everyone in that room. Then I looked up at Dave’s face and was in awe that I had finally arrived. Arrived to the place where I could truly love with my whole heart and trust without abandon; all with the support of God, my family, dearest friends, and this Man. The following hours and days passed with a fury of twinkling lights, photographers, music, and happiness. Pure happiness.
