Oh What Did We Do In The Summer Time?

I know it has been a long time since Stewart or I got on and updated our blog. Truth is we have been having a blast this summer and just have not taken the time to tell you about it. Stewart and I saved our money up last school year so that we could go back to Idaho for the summer. We left West Virginia on June 9th and flew Idaho where we stayed until July 13th! We had such a great time visiting both our families and seeing some good friends in the area.

We had a great time being with our families and learning all about what they have been up to since we moved to WV. We did so much that I think the best way to tell you about our trip back west is best with pictures


We visited the Bruneau Canyon, with Becky's family

Stewart's last good deed while in Burneau... he mowed my parents back lawn (I think this was the first time he has ever used a riding lawn mower).


Along with hanging out with family and friends Stewart and I tried to go to the temple as often as we could. Being so close to a temple, is one thing that we miss most about living in West Virginia. To travel to the DC temple takes us 5 hours; it is an all day affair. Those of you who live so close enjoy the temples as much a possible, because if you ever have to move away you will miss it dearly.

Since being back in WV, I have gone back to work and Stewart has been reading a lot of Harry Potter, anything but text books if he can avoid it. Although he has had to study for an EKG test that he has coming up the first week he gets back to school. YUCK!

Everything is going well with the development of our baby, she moves around a lot more now. I enjoy feeling her wiggle around in my belly. It brings a since of comfort knowing she is growing strong daily. One funny thing that Sophie does is that she will not let Stewart feel her kick. She can be carrying on kicking me over and over, but as soon as Stewart puts his hand on my stomach, she stops. I can’t even use his name and call Stewart over to look at my belly bouncing without her stopping. Stewart and I just laugh about it, and joke that Sophie is going to be a mama’s girl. In reality I am sure she and Stewart will be wrapped around each others pinkies not long after she is born.

This coming week, Stewart and I were given tickets, by my boss, to go to the PGA Golf tournament happening here in the area. We also got tickets to go to the Reba McEntire and a Rascal Flats concerts happening Wednesday and Thursday night. We are excited to be around all this excitement, although I am sure our opinion will change after a while of having to deal with the traffic issues caused by all the spectators taking over our town.

Other than that we are both doing well, we feel so blessed to be starting year two of med school. We want to say thanks to our families for all they did for us while we were in Idaho. Thanks to all our friends as well for organizing events so we could say hi to everyone. We had a great time, and love you all!!! Our door is always opened to anyone who would like to visit us… hint hint. LOVES!!!
