One Of My FAVORITE Ladies: Stephanie Beeman Behrens!

From the time I was in the 3rd grade, this girl right here has been one of my closest friends. And by close, I mean close!!! We once begged to have our hair braided TOGETHER for crazy hair night at Awanas... thanks to our wise moms & them knowing we were both way too uncoordinated to be joined at the head, by a braid, they sent us as Cindy Lou Who with a cup underneath our hair instead! We were also the two girls who diligently practiced and performed(ish) Jingle Bells on our clarinets for a special at church- how gracious of those leaders to allow us to have our big star performance!! The list continues of many many sleepovers, road trips with each others family, becoming big girls and going off to college and then becoming even bigger girls and getting married to the men of our dreams- and now we get to add both being bloggers to our list!!! Stephanie is a total foodie (even though you'd never know it by looking at her) and the recipes she comes up with are too good not to share. She is doing everyone a favor and starting a food blog! One of the final steps before she gets it up and running was to have some new portraits taken and it was one of the best feelings to be asked to take them for her :) She is beautiful on the outside- I mean come on look at her HAIR, but her sense of humor, her thoughtfulness of others, her straight up honesty, her ability to make me laugh all the time but especially when a good laugh is needed & our many years of friendship is what makes her one of my FAVORITE people.

Be on the look out for when she launches her blog-- trust me, you will want to follow it! Her GOOD food combined with her humor will make for a great blog to follow!
