Let me start by saying that I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. We had an awesome trip to Denver a few weeks ago but we took soooo many pictures that I haven't had time to go through them...so keep an eye out for that post later this week. I have to say a big thank you to Paul and Katherine for letting us come and visit them, we had the BEST time and wish we could live closer...like, next door.So last week was full of big things, Allie graduated from kindergarten..pictures will be added soon! My client who is/was engaged got married..that was a big deal and also requires a complete post later. Also a reporter from the Columbus Dispatch, which is our big paper, called me last Wednesday to see if she could do an interview. She wanted to do it the very next day and at my house! No biggie, right? I've met Kristie, the style and fashion reporter, before and have given her quotes for stories in the past but this was my first feature article. You can imagine the whirlwind that happened to get everything in order! Kristie said they also wanted to do a photoshoot of some of my favorite outfits too. Luckily I had a hair appointment scheduled for Friday and so I asked if we could take the pictures on Friday, luckily that worked out! So Thursday was a lot of fun. Kristie came to the house and Roman was napping, Kate watching a show so we had some peace and quiet to just visit. It probably took about an hour and a half for the interview and the next day the photoshoot took almost two hours.
So...last night I started getting nervous about the article and didn't sleep that well. I ironed Darin's shirt this morning so he would have time to run and get the paper...but sadly he only had time to buy the paper and couldn't drop it back off at the house. He did say that it's a big story that takes about 2/3 of the page....and luckily I did find it online.

PS. I'm sorry if I'm bragging, this is just big stuff for a little girl from Vidor, TX!

Congratulations!!!! How awesome for you!
This is so awesome - a friend from work left me a message this morning telling me my friend was in the newspaper, she said, "I'm sure she's your friend because she's mormon!" When she told me what section of the newspaper, I knew it would be you - so exciting!
It's been a long time, I found your blog through Natalie's. You are amazing!!! I could really use your services, too bad I live in Oregon. I really want to reinvent my style but don't feel like I can pull of the style that I want to be wearing. I you have any suggestions email me at ohiohenstroms@hotmail.com I will definitely keep checking your blog, it is fun to catch up with people.

That was so fun to read.I'm glad you shared that, you had great answers to every single question. Keep up all the good work!
It was fun to see you posted about being in the newspaper! Brag away!!! I think its great! I first heard about it when Anna Gazdik came in for her adjustment at my office. She was the one who told me about it! Her and her sisters thought it was really cool and they loved the shopping tips!
Sarah,
I am SOOOO proud of you and happy for you. I thought the article was great and totally captured your amazing and fun personality. I am blessed to be your friend and maybe someday when you're famous you can take Shannon and I with you someplace exotic, what do you think? Also, sorry I haven't called since Harrison got here--I don't know where the time has gone!
Lots of love!
Wow Sarah, that was so great! I loved all of your answers and you looked great too. I just wish I could still run into you all the time (like at preschool) so that I could get my weekly fashion inspirations:)
Sarah you are amazing. Totally not bragging. You are such a talented person and I love that you are so down to earth with it all. Congrats!!!!
Okay...I've always thought you were unbelieveably cool, but this really solidifies the idea. Sarah you are GREAT!
How exciting for you! I was not surprised to see you in the big time newspaper. I know that you are capable of anything. We missed saying goodbye to you guys. We really wanted to see you guys before we left. I hope you are all doing well and enjoy your last summer in Ohio for us. Good job again on that article. I had to show my whole family.
Sarah, you made your family proud of you and your achievements. You look good in the newspaper! So what's next? Maybe you can fill in for Stacy London.
Keep up the good job. I'm glad that you can make a career of doing what you love to do --- so, it's never work.
