Everything to me....

So i haven't blogged in literally over a year, maybe two...well i take that back...i haven't kept up with our personal blog...i have been blogging away for our bridal business (Bridal Couture Girls), but have slacked in the personal blogidge. it has been so long that i forgot my log-in information for our other blog so i created a new one. lol. but i plan to keep up this one and share our stories and good times. my mom lives in  california, and we miss her dearly, so we want to make sure she is in the loop. so where to start? IDK my friends. how about a recap of the last couple years....quick rewind.

in the last two years.... Ryan and I got married...huge. I am such a lucky girl and he is one really amazing man. He is my best friend and the love of my life. Pure southern gentleman. i am totally in love with this man.He is everything to me... not only did i get an amazing hubby, i got some really amazing in-laws, who i am really close to. God is good...all the time.

My dad got married to a wonderful woman, hong. She is the most amazing step mom and I am truly blessed to have her. I am so happy for my dad and hong. She makes him happy and that makes me happy :)

Ryan and my family threw me my first surprise birthday party :) Did I mention I am so blessed? gosh my husband is cute :)

we got a horse, Ivy...her full name is "Ivy League". She is actually a champion horse and was retired from jumping. She is so sweet. We literally love her like a kid... Miss Ivy may appear a lot in our blog, as I mentioned im slightly obsessed with horses. its true.

BB now has a buddy, miss Ivy. BB and Ivy are pretty much BFF.

We had our 10 year highschool reunion...whoa we are old...but it was super fun and it was so nice to see everyone  :) My husband is a timberwolf and i am a tiger...so we party hopped that night between norman north and norman high's shindigs. Great memories.

 

In sticking with the highschool theme....i wanted to share another piece of my higschool past...my mustang GT. for those of you that know me, i have a love for cars...fast cars. it was not uncommon for me to spend a few friday nights at the race track. but i really enjoyed it. i picked out the custom paint job, rims, tires, hood, and the fun accessories. so girlie of me, i know.

but now we are adults, so the mustang is saved for the weekends. We bought a more family oriented car....our first car together :) And we are pretty proud of ourselves. It is our family car, for our future little Stephens family. Don't worry, we have since tinted the windows, so it looks much more sporty-like. I like to say it is "mom meets, professional, meets sporty".

post tinting job....

 

 We had some pretty awesome pool parties, with some awesome nieces and nephews. My in-laws are amazing and i am so fortunate to have these sweet babies in my life. Blessings, pure blessings! These are the memories i will never forget :) Priceless.

and we have shared some great family time with our two babies...our yorkies, Sissie and Beau. Look at those faces...yes they are spoiled rotten :)

one other very special thing that happened this year is that ryan and his dad reunited...it was a really special thing. we are so proud of his dad and how far he has come :)  it had been a long time since ryan has had a relationship with his dad. it makes me so happy to see them happy.

And i couldn't end the rewind without showing some of my bridal biz obsessions. Bridal accessories were designed, photo shoots were had, and bridal fairs attended. Score. Visit our bridal business website to see more.
