The Stewart Standard

It has been a whole month since I posted... So let me catch you up. We have been working and finals. Yep, that's it. Haha our life is school and work but as Friday I am done with school! Yay! and Dallas will be done on Wednesday.

Somewhere in the thick of it all my darling friend Brooke took some family pictures for us. I wanted to send out a Christmas card this year with Fitz in it and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! (Thanks to Brooke... we are not the easiest to photograph).

The cards are in the mail so I thought I would post a couple more on here. Can you believe Christmas is in 10 days? We can't and are ready for some holiday activities!

Merry Christmas from the Stewarts!

So Dallas and I are both in school but neither of us are huge football fans. I mean, we like to keep up and what not but we are not die hards, at every game, kinda fans.

And here is a little background for all ya'll... My freshman year of college I attended the U of U and danced on the University of Utah Dance Team and it was one of the most fun years of my life! My dream though was to attend ASU. When my parents decided to move there I jumped at the chance because now we could afford the in-state tuition! So I moved to AZ when I was a sophomore in college. I attended Arizona State University for two years working on my prerequisite courses for nursing school. After completing these is when I moved back to SLC to finish school at Westminster college.

So.... I feel like I get to cheer for both ASU and the University of Utah. It just get's a little tricky when they play each other.

One thing is for sure though, Dallas and I love an event, and so when we were offered tickets to a few football games we couldn't wait! We were lucky enough to travel to AZ for the ASU vs Utah football game. It was so bittersweet, but I got the opportunity to go down on the field for pre-game so of course I had to wear my ASU gear (and I was technically there longer). Then, the next weekend thanks to Dallas's dad we were able to go to the Utah vs Oregon game. Needless to say, it was a little chillier but just as fun (except the U lost and that dropped ball.... woof).

We feel so lucky we were able to go to such fun games. The nostalgia of college football is so fun to partake in especially during the fall. Crazy to think in 5 short months both of us will be college grads and moving on to a new chapter! I am so excited to see where life will take us! But here is some pics of the game... sorry to get sappy!

xoxo, Carly

Just slightly disappointed after the game... haha

I owe it to Dallas for keeping me sane during nursing school and working way more than I should.

Haha catchy title right?

I figured this would be the best way to document what we have been up to these last few weeks....

Before...

After... HAHA! Poor guy...

THEY REALLY TASTE LIKE COTTON CANDY... GO GET THEM NOW!!

My favorite part of the fair... No lie.

Fitz was really enjoying the view!

So my mom, sister, and myself have been training for a 10k pretty much all summer (none of us have ever been runners). So yes we had to train. But with the end goal in sight we definitely knew we wanted to get cute matching outfits for our race! The best part right? So at Lulu Lemon we found these adorable camo running leggings that would be our 10k ensemble. So my mom, sister, Chloee (my best friend), myself, and my little brother max bunked the night before up at the Zermatt hotel in Midway because the race was the Swiss Days 10k. Waking up early and getting to the race was great, showing up and having everyone stare at us like "why are these girls taking this race so seriously?" was even better. Haha we felt like a pack of Cadet Kelly's (you know Hilary Duff's disney channel movie?) with our camo leggings. It was hilarious.

But such a success! Everyone finished the race! Max beat us all, then Rachel came in second running an 8 min mile!!! Then Chloee and myself came next I got 4th in our age group and this sweet Swiss days beer mug haha and Chlo got 5th!! Then the champion of all my darling mom finished beating her personal time goal by a landslide and placing 5th in her age division!! We were all so proud and everyone at the finish line was telling us how cute we were in our camo ;). Now on to training for a half marathon!!... haha maybe.
