YAY for fireworks at Eaglewood Golf course!  I love them so much! and it makes them so much better with great friends and family, the Jensen family, Jarom, Whit, Kate, Kye, Sami, Matt, and my parents.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!

Jacob Alonzo Stewart, the love of my life, husband and eternal companion. I am so grateful that this handsome man was born this day 24 years ago (ya....he is younger...). I love him so much.  I made him a pot roast for lunch/dinner AND  made him a scrumptious treat that I found on Pinterest that combined two of his favorite things, doughnuts and strawberry shortcake.  I know it sounds gross but it was incredible!  You cut the doughnut in half and put whipped cream and strawberries in the middle.  I bought him a potato smasher thing (cause he found out we didn't have one) and a beautiful handmade birch wood bowl. I also rented a puppy for Jacob just like I did when we started dating.  Super cute puppy named Neal! The name makes him even more adorable.  Thanks Jacob for all that you do, you are amazing and that you are in my life, I fall in love with you more and more every day, thank you for being an amazing husband.

 

Family History Library

This is my new cubicle at the Family History Librar. I love this new job, because I love helping people find their ancestors and where they are from.   My boss, Fritz who I have nicknamed, "Your Highness" (because he felt old when I called him sir but said your highness would do), who calls me either Kellogg or Frosty (because I kept flaking out and not bringing a picture of myself or decorating my cubicle with Russian stuff.   I never brought a picture sooo..... this is the picture Fritz and Debbie put up for me (they erase and draw my hair back on as I cut my hair and it grows), and this is how I decorated my space (I still need some pictures of my hot husband though).  Working at the library is great.  I love it so so much.

Caroline and Brandon

I love these two love birds! Brandon and Caroline are perfect for each other and their reception in Midway was absolutely incredible!  As I have said previously I love going to weddings and relive our wedding.  My husband is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  I love him so much.

Time Together

Friday June 20th

Walking, and talking, laughing, and reminiscing.  Today we spent time away from the modern world and we went on a few walks.  It was incredible and eye opening to the beauties of the world that our Heavenly Father created.  We walked first by the Provo River out by the lake and it was gorgeous. We then went to campus and looked out onto Jacob's favorite street.  We also saw a beaver in the river! It was so amazing to see him at work.

FHE Stewart Style

So we were at the store just before FHE because we heard there was a sale.  Out of nowhere Jacob says, ok this is our FHE activity.  I am going to pick out stuff that I think you would look good in, and you are going to pick out stuff that you think I would look good in. Haha, that Jacob is a funny kid.  We had a good time finding clothes for each other and trying them on. In the end Jacob said, ok, what is your favorite thing I tried on?  We are going to buy each other our favorite things!  So I got this beautiful peasant blouse and Jacob got the hipster shirt! When we got home we changed into our shirts and had our lesson.  It was fun, and a good activity seeing things through the other person's eyes.  I love Jacob so much. I am so blessed to have him in my life. 

A Typical Friday

Jacob and I don't see each other much during the week because of our conflicting work schedules.  We do what we can, but it only adds up to a few hours a day if that.  Because of this, we try to treasure every minute we have on the weekends (while Jacob doesn't work).  Yesterday was one of those days, cuddling, talking, and going on adventures.  

The Bean museum at BYU recently opened after a 2 year renovation and they did an amazing job.  The museum has two levels and multiple areas.  They have a bird/duck room, an African room, sea creatures, bugs and insects, and one room is dedicated to the bird carvings of Boyd K. Packer which are so delicate and detailed. We had a great time, the world is amazing, animals are amazing, and so much bigger than we are!

Jacob has been on an office kick and we watched the last episode yesterday, it was the end of an era obviously. I didn't watch all of the episodes with him but he kept me updated on what was happening, especially with Jim and Pam.  We ended the day with Sammy's shakes and some cuddling.  I just love my man!
