The Stallos had to say goodbye to our beloved Family dog, the one and only, Rascal. He had given us so many great memories over 16 years. We love and miss him so very much!
My parents came to Atlanta for Easter. Here we are with our Church's flower cross; it's always beautiful!
Danny had a work trip in Los Angeles in April and I tagged along to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. We packed in tons of fun in our three days there; tourist activities in Hollywood, a TV taping at Sony Studios, people-watching in Venice Beach, a stroll down the Santa Monica Pier, and a lovely drive through the hills of Malibu.
Along with 25 of our best friends we went on the 4th Annual Panama City Beach Trip at the end of May. It never fails to be a fabulous time!
Within four days of being back from the beach we found a renter, packed up all our belongings, and moved out of our condo!!! A whirlwind of a week to say the least... We couldn't be more happy with our tenant, and are so thankful for the Postell's for letting us crash in their basement for two months! It was fun to have roommates again.
As you know, we enjoy supporting the Alzheimer's Association. Here we are at their annual kickball fundraiser in June. Each team had a theme, somehow ours ended up being Justin Bieber.
St. Simons was our next beach destination. One of my Pi Phi girls, Julia, was getting married and the whole crew enjoyed a fabulous weekend in June! Her and Reagan's wedding was absolutely amazing. Sidenote: Our husbands are rarely in the pictures, because they're busy lining up to take them...but in truth, they all were there cheering on the fun, even if there is little documentation.
The very next weekend, we celebrated another Pi Phi, Brooke's 30th at Lake Lanier. After two consecutive parties with this crew, we went through withdrawals not seeing each other as often...so we had to plan more...!
Like tubing the Chattahoochee shortly thereafter for Kat's bday...
Dayton's family has a cabin in Maggie Valley, NC, which we have visited annually over the years. A small group of us took a last minute trip in July. We drove up to Asheville for a tour of breweries too. Here we are with "Maggie" of Maggie Valley in front of the legendary Joey's Pancake House.
On July 19 we closed on our first home together. We had a lot of fun shopping for houses in Marietta throughout the spring, and are so thrilled how God's plan unveiled for us to get this one! It's been a busy few weeks moving, unpacking, and repairing. I'm sure you'll see some future posts as we get to the stage where we want people to see the inside :)
The first week in August, my mom's family gathered, 27 people in all, for an extended weekend in Colorado. We did a lot of fishing, played a lot of cards, and enjoyed great family time! An unfortunate virus came too, which spread like wildfire...23 of us ended up sick halfway through the weekend. I guess you can say we are a sharing family.
Since everyone in the South is counting down the days to college football kickoff, Fall is already in the air. It was nice to reflect on a wonderful season of life. We hope you all enjoyed your summers too!
