Our 2nd Anniversary

It is so good to be settled into our new apartment here in Atlanta and to finally have Stephen back home! It was a very long 6 weeks being apart but he is home for good now and has a nice long break before starting rotations. Luckily his semester in Florida ended two days before our second anniversary. Since he has been home we have been keeping ourselves busy every day by finishing up the apartment and putting together the nursery. Everything has been falling into place and looking perfect. We really love our home here and we couldn't be happier with the area that we chose to live in. We are close to everything we need and less than a mile from our church and the Temple. Everyone we have met at church have been so kind and our first Sunday we were invited to have dinner at a ward members home. We feel very lucky to have ended up where we are. 

For our anniversary we spent the day continuing to put together baby furniture and cleaning up around the apartment. We also had our first tornado warning which we thought was pretty awesome. We took a short walk through one of the parks near our apartment and enjoyed watching the ducks for a little while. They were pretty disappointed that we didn't have bread for them. Next time we will know to bring some with us. For dinner we decided to go to the melting pot which was so amazing! We spent two and half hours there and had such a good time. Then we came home and watched our wedding video which is always so much fun. One of our goals for every anniversary is to go do temple sealings. Our sealer when we got married hoped that we would still be coming back to do sealings on our 50th anniversary. We went a couple days after our anniversary and it was really special. One sealer in particular who did most of the sealings was such a neat person. He had some really good things to say and sometimes he would just pause after doing a sealing and smile at how happy that particular couple was to finally be sealed for all time and eternity. Going to the temple is such a special experience and I am so glad that our sealer suggested for us to go do sealings at least once a year on our anniversary. It is such a good reminder at the amazing blessings Stephen and I have together forever.
