(check back next week for the link to a new blog!)

my secret revealed...

i know, i know...

i sort of disappeared off of the face of the planet once i found mr. right.

but, can you blame me?

we search our whole lives to find our mr. or mrs.

so who could blame me that i spend every waking minute with him.

(well, that or 24 little midgets)

so, lots of you have been asking who this mystery man is and why i haven't blogged a single second about him.

well now you know the why...

here is the who...

he's my UTE fan equal...

he's a wanna-be velociraptor...

(here he can be seen sneaking up on his fellow apatosaurus hiding in the sunflowers)

he's the world's most THOUGHTFUL man...

he's my twin and soulmate...

(truly the boy version of me... scary!!)

he's a little-bit country...

(kinda sexy)

he's my teammate...

he's my partner in goofing off...

he's a little bit crazy...

he's an excellent smoocher...

(Jules, the PDA is for you.

i hope this is censored enough)

he's just downright cute...

he's my funny bone!

he's my FIANCE!!

but most importantly,

he's about to become my soul-mate FOR-EVAH!

(just a little sneaky peak of the wedding day garb...)

and I LOVE HIM!

here's to 28 more days.

check back soon

for a new and improved STEPHENS blog!!

as the crowning event of summer 2011,

smash and I decided to have one last hurrah

old roomie and BFF Steph!

it was the perfect way to end the summer...

Friday night game at Dodger Stadium

and Dodger Dogs!
