October 23rd, 2011 One Year Anniversary!!!!

Happy One Year Anniversary to The Stephenson's!!! We thawed out the top of our wedding cake and cut into and as hopeful as I was it was just as good as it was one year ago on this day!!! Our one year has been pretty interesting. We got married, I got a new job, we moved, we are trying to sell our house, looking for a rental,Matt bought a combine, so far not too bad. And as always everything takes time and patience so i am impatiently waiting for our house to sell and a rental to open!

Happy Birthday Patty!

My mother-in law's birthday! She was so surprised and even more excited that she got a day where she didn't have a single thing she had to do!

Iowa State vs Texas A & M: Jessie's Here!

I love Cyclone Football and I really love Tailgating and I love Beth and Jessie Fetzer!!! I'm saying that this weekend was a great combo!

Mal Pal's Wedding!!!

Funny how small the world is Ive known Mal for quite sometime and then my husband and Mal became friends through college and here we are sharing a special day w/ a mutual friend! Congrats Mal and Scott!!!

Baby Fiona!!!!!

Can't wait for baby Fiona to join the world! Her dad is in for a treat bc she is going to give him a run for his money!!!! Went to Nicole's baby shower in Colfax to bring Fiona a special treat from one of her dad's favorite friends/sister!!! Hehe!! Here are some pictures from the shower and of the parents to be!

Pumpkin Patch!!!!!

Well since Matty and I have no children yet! No better way then to join my friend Rachel and her 3 beautiful children for a day at Deal's Orchard! I had an amazing day!

Catching Fire and Mockingjay!

 Well I promised after the first one I would let you know how the last two were! Well I read through them so fast because they were so addicting and so good! I can't wait for The Hunger Games to come out! I mean Liam Hemsworth again SEXY!!!!!! Being the 2nd book in the series as always kept me wanting more! MUST READ!

May be part of the ending you want but it never fails to through in some things you just weren't ready for. So if you haven't read the first one then I probably should keep this for a must read the whole series!

Nicholas Sparks!!!!

 Dear John!! So I took the time or a lot of time for reading! Thanks to my amazing co worker Jess who owns all the books I can read them all> Even though I have seen the movie first on this book, The book as always is better. A true classic and I say read this book bc the movie does not do it justice!

 The Choice was amazing and the main character is dreamy! The story is about two neighbors who fall in love! and that is all you get bc I don't want to give it away! LOVED IT

 They are also making this book a movie so I suggest you read it before it comes out 2012! One picture leads a man on a journey to find the women in the picture that he believes brings him luck. It took a little time to get in to this book but once I did I flew right through it!

 The movie once again is just not as good as the book but Liam Hemsworth is pretty darn sexy!

Another book on its way to becoming a movie! This book is a mix of Sleeping w/ the enemy and Enough! Def a must read!

The Lost World!

That is exactly where I have been.... Or maybe the rest of September/October just clearly flew right by! So I better catch up my blogging asap!
Let's  Start w/ my fantastic Girl's Vacation to the sunny gorgeous FLORIDA!!!!!
Florida was amazing, got a little nibble on the tushy by a jelly fish, got some serious sun and shopping and tried some grits..not tasty per my experience! Here are some pics to enjoy!

Iowa State vs Iowa: Brad and Crystal's Wedding

Cyclones defeated Iowa in 3 OT and sitting on university watching the action was AMAZING!!!! Proud to be a Cyclone and proud to share with my kids someday!

Here is a picture of me and the beautiful Bride Mrs. Crystal VandeLinden!!!!!

Iowa State vs UNI!!

Well it was a close game but ISU won!!!! whew! Enjoyed tailgating with friends and watching the game sitting on University near the lots fro FREE on the new Scoreboard!

Ryanne & Tyler Jansen!!!!! August 27th, 2011

Watching my best friends little sister was like watching my very own little sister get married. Lindsey has been my best friend for a very long time since we were in elementary. So Ryanne has been like my lil sister since she was born. I spend so much time at there house and with them growning up that I was part of the family. The wedding was beautiful and Tyler is the perfect match for Ryanne!!!

The Hunger Games

I wasn't sure about this book. The futuristic feel of it, or the fact it's like a starvation, and killing. But after halfway through the book I was hooked. If I tell you much more it will ruin it but I suggest you read it and the other two books in the series. I just bought number two so I will have to let you know.
