Recently....

We have just been keeping busy. Working and visiting with family and friends on the weekends. A couple of weekends ago we had the privilege of meeting Elder Ballard, an Apostle. It was pretty cool! He came to Columbus to speak at Fort Benning and then he was to have lunch at Bryan's parents' house since his dad is the stake president in Columbus. Bryan and I decided it was the perfect opportunity to visit :) It was wonderful to meet him and he is pretty funny.

That same weekend we also celebrated with Jenna (my little sister) as she turned a big seven years old. We got her this cute little outfit...well I hope she thought it was cute! She is growing up so fast (man, I sound like an old woman). She is soo cute and such a talker. Love her so much!

This past weekend we went to visit our friends in Athens. We went to an activity at the branch and were able to visit with a ton of our friends. We definitely miss Athens...especially me. I changed and grew so much during college and those wonderful people in Athens helped me to become a better person. Bryan and I had and still have so much fun with them.

We also just got our new callings in our new ward. I am a Young Women Laurel Advisor and Bryan is the Secretary in the High Priest group. I am excited to work with the 16 and 17 year old girls! I really wanted to work in Young Women, so this will be fun! I have a lot to learn to though since I did not go through the Young Women program myself. It will be a wonderful calling for me. Plus Mom Stewart and Aunt Billie (Mama Stewart) are Young Women Presidents...I will have to steal some ideas from them :) Bryan is excited for his calling too. He will be keeping up with all that wonderful home teaching.

Pre-K starts soon! Next week I get to set up the room and they come after Labor Day! Can't wait! Bryan has been studying for the GMAT too, so I see him less (no more LOST every night) but I am excited for him to do well on the test! He is working very hard and I know he will do well! Hopefully GA Tech of BYU will be our new school soon.

Life is good! Can't complain because we are super blessed!!!

Moving...

Packed to the brim! Good job boys!

We were excited to move but the moving process is pretty exhausting! We moved on Saturday July 30 with the help of our wonderful family! Bryan and I had packed the Uhaul with most of the boxes and "stuff." On Saturday when Dad, Dad, and Dale arrived they did the heavy lifting. We loaded it all up (or what we thought to be all) and headed to our new place. It was pretty hot as you can tell by Bryan's shirt. He worked super hard that day!

I know we are just gorgeous in our sweat and no makeup...

This is our old place, pictures of the new place to come soon! We loved this apartment but we are much closer to work now and we have a little more space. We will miss the community and our neighbor Carl. Unloading was not too bad. Wish the girls could have stayed a little longer to help me decorate but that's ok. We were all exhausted, but it was so worth it! We really like the new place :)

SKYDIVING!!

Before we made the jump...

(Bryan signing his life away)

Soo on July 23 we decided it was time to use our Groupon Skydiving coupons. We purchased skydiving passes at half price on Groupon this past February. Our friend Jenny also purchased one, so finally found a great weekend for us to go make the jump. It was something we both wanted to do so after buying the passes we had to do it! Our friend Steph heard we were going and decided to come too.

We did not tell a single member of our family except for Amanda who could keep our secret quiet. We knew they would all worry.

So on Saturday all four of us drove to Cedartown, GA to make the jump! Steph got the video and picture package which we wish we should have done but we have a few before and after pics.

We made it safely back :)

It was AMAZING!! Bryan and I said we would definitely do it again and get the video packaage next time!

4th of July

Ok so I am pretty terrible at updating my blog but here we go :)

4th of July was tons of fun! We went down to Columbus on Friday after work to visit with Mom and Dad Stewart as well as Dale, Amanda, David, and Jacob. We set off "fireworks" on Friday night! On Saturday we went out on the boat and got really sunburned but it was fun to be out on the lake. Dale and Bryan went knee boarding which they enjoyed and David loved riding in the boat. Of course I forget to take pictures at almost every occasion so sorry no pics.

Saturday night we went out to Aunt Gail's retirement party. It was at a very nice restaurant in Columbus and there were so many family members there. It was so wonderful to see and visit with everyone. We wish Aunt Gail the best in her retirement from a wonderful teaching career :)

Dale, Amanda and the kids left that night. We missed them the next couple of days. On Sunday we went to church and were able to spend time with Mom and Dad and Grandaddy.

On Monday we went on a run on the river walk! My favorite place to run in Columbus! Then we packed up to go to the Braves Game! And I have pics of this event :) It was fun! We had great seats especially since it started raining. We were underneath the terrace level. The braves won and we had awesome fireworks too! It was a great night!
