The Stewart Standard

My favorite city on this entire planet.

As you were last updated, you saw that Dallas and I both graduated from college in May. So my parents being as awesome as they are, gave us a graduation trip as a gift and immediately I knew I wanted to take Dallas to my favorite city on earth... Paris!

Dallas had never been to Europe and I couldn't wait to go explore I have been seriously behind so here is our documentation of the most amazing trip!

Day #1: Our advice is once you fly in I know jet lag is a pain but STAY AWAKE! it is tough but worth it. We planned a bike tour to see that main sites and it was perfect because it kept us awake haha

This is the flight over... haha when you fly delta to Paris make sure to pay a little extra for the Economy Comfort SO WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Ok so the 411 on the bike tour: It is great because you get the history on the main sites, its exercise but you get to places quickly, the tour guides are darling locals who have darling french accents, and you stop all along the way at the touristy places that you just want to stop at for a few minutes anyways! Bike tours = the way to go!

cutest sparkling water fountains along the Seine river.

Day #2: We slept in, which was nice then ate at the most fun restaurant in all of Paris called Le Jules Vern. I say the most fun because it is at the top of the Eiffel Tower!! There is no better way to experience the Eiffel Tower! You beat all the lines, you don't have to take the stairs, and you get amazing panoramic views of the city. The down side..... the food is AUTHENTIC FRENCH CUISINE. haha it was pretty fancy and food no one was a fan of... the boys were laughing the whole time but it is the best way to experience fine dining in Paris. After this we shopped, walked along the Seine, and went to the Louvre. It was a perfect Parisian day.

Im talking authentic Duck Foie Gras

This may have been my favorite purchase ever... go check my instagram for my whole story.

And lastly... we had to go get better food after our 5 course meal at Le Jules Vern haha

We graduated from college and it was great!

HA! We graduated from college now 8 months ago and it has been a whirlwind ever since!

- Dallas got his Bachelors Degree in Business Administration.

- I got my Bachelors Degree in Science of Nursing.

- We both got our dream jobs.

- We sold our townhouse.

- We bought/remodeled our house.

- We traveled the world.

- And now we are bringing another life into this world!

Whew those are some serious life events in an 8 month time period. Our lives will be changing so much in the next 8 months so we are just trying to enjoy every moment!

Here is the proof... haha jk but seriously.

A little bit of Disney.

Well hello there it has been a minute...

When I say a minute I mean a few months..... Lots has happened.

So I will have to split all these updates up! This is going to be all out of order sadly. I was going to post about graduation (which was back in May...) but.... my hard drive crashed and we are still trying to recover months... years worth of photos! Great right?! Sorry end rant.

But in the mean time I will post some out of order events slash house updates! We are moved in! Yay! Pics to come soon.

Pics I do have are from our great trip to Florida this summer. It was super random but super fun! We went to Disney World for a few days, Universal Studios, then hopped on a weekend cruise to the Bahamas! It was so great and we felt like kids again for a few days. The guys may have thrown in the towel on Disney after day one but our resort was amazing and everyone got to have their own personal "Disney" aka golf. haha.

Day #1: Epcot and Magic Kingdom

Day #2: Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (we lost vaughn and trev)

Day #3: Universal Studios (we lost vaughn, trev, and dal)

Cruise:

The end.

The new look. Our new home.

Hi Everyone (or whoever reads haha)

So if you haven't noticed I gave the blog a little bit of a revamp and this is why...

We were driving up to Park City for our 2nd Anniversary celebrations and got talking about what we are going to do now that we are BOTH GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. (honestly I never thought this day would come). And what we both love to do. Since we bought our town home Dallas and I have loved looking at houses (perks of being a real estate agent) and seeing and talking about what we could do to remodel them. Most people dread trying to buy a new house and we loved every second of it. (I am almost sad now that it's over... almost). But so anyways, we listed our town house at 9 PM on a Monday night and by 10 AM the next morning it was under contract! It was such a blessing and we thought maybe we were selling it too cheap but we had such positive responses from everyone that walked through it that day. So we figured maybe it is something we were sort of good at? Still trying to decide but in the mean time we thought we would document our latest project a little more thoroughly! And share where, how, and what we find to make our new house (project) a home!!

For those of you who did not see it on my Facebook here are all the final pics of our Townhouse. It is very bitter sweet to think of moving. This is where we first moved in when we got married, it is our first home together, it is where we started our little family! But we are so excited for the next chapter in our lives.

Please feel free to comment with an advice, tips, tricks, or thoughts on home remodeling we want to hear it all!
