Kostumes by Katy

I love Halloween. Can we discuss that for a minute?
I love the fall leaves. The crisp chill in the air. The smells. The orange hues. Chili and cornbread. Using every ounce of creativity to pull together costumes. Hot chocolate. Pumpkin bread/cookies/lanterns. Studying until late at the Library. Dressing up and laughing hard. Having Christmas music sneak its way into my playlists...needless to say, I just LOVE IT SO MUCH.
So far I have been deeply involved in creating several different costumes.

Kathleen Campbell Nimmo and I decided we were going to be influential women in history. Kath chose to be Cleopatra.. comin atcha.

And I am being the ever so popular, Amelia Earhart. I've got a leather jacket, riding boots, dogtags, and an aviator cap that pretty much seal the deal for my impersonation of one of my favorite women in History. Too bad she disappeared.
Annie Christine decided she wanted to be Little Red. (Ridding Hood) So we went down to Joann's and purchased a few yards of a synthetic crushed red velvet, and I made her a cape.

Santa Clause is allegedly coming to our ward party, in a stolen grocery cart, lead by a team of prancing reindeer, and an elf. I have been comissioned as the costume/wardrobe designer. We've completed the Santa Suit as well as the white felt bellies for Prancer, Dancer, Comet, Cupid, and Rudolph. Details for the elf are yet to be determined. Red/white striped tights may be in order...
Thats all for now. Pictures of my creations are soon to come.
As always, thanks for following!

    I wish I possessed the skills to make a Halloween costume like you. Hector and I have decided that we will bypass buying Halloween costumes and just go out to dinner because finding costumes is just frustrating.

As a little girl you imagine your future with Prince Charming but can’t grasp the specifics of when, where, and how. 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

One Year

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. I finally had what my heart had always wanted, a Husband to call my own, and a love that rivaled all the rest. Settling into our small apartment was just about as exciting as the wedding festivities themselves. We had been planning
