Surprise Guest

When I woke up this morning I figured the most exciting part of the start of my day would be wearing my new Victoria’s Secret foldover yoga capris to the gym. (Sadie clearly thinks I’m a nut job. I can’t blame her though, as this was taken at 5:35 a.m.) Though wearing new clothing is [...]
