We have been living in Charlottesville, Virginia for the past two and a half years while Scott attends medical school at the University of Virginia. Scott is usually studying, so Brighton and I have become pretty creative on keeping ourselves busy. As you all know, I was pretty upset when we found out that we were moving because we have the most amazing family and friends a person could ask for. Its taken a little while to get use to, but we love it thanks to very special friends. Life on the east coast is very different but fun. It is so weird to drive only a couple of hours and pass through several states. It is definitely georgous out here and there is plenty to do. We have gone up to Manhatten several times to visit Scott's brother and we go to D.C. and Richmond quite a bit too. It's also nice because the beach is only an hour and a half away. The history out here is amazing and the campus is beautiful, it was designed by Thomas Jefferson. For the most part eveything in this town is redbrick, black shutters and white columns, very colonial style. As you all know, Brighton and I travel back to Utah every six weeks to work for a few days. It is so great and we are loving it. So for now we get the best of both worlds.

The Royal at Playa Del Carmen

After much debating on whether we should go on this trip or not we decided YES!!! Scott has been working unbelievably hard and I don't think we have had a full conversation in about four months. His next break is Thanksgiving, so we definitly needed this. Brighton and I left to Utah on the twenty sixth of March so I could go work and then leave Bri with the Grandparents. I flew into Cancun and then drove forty five minutes south to Playa Del Carmen. I met Scott, Cheryl and Ryan in Mexico at the hotel on the tenth of April. The hotel was all inclusive and there were six different restaurants to pick from. All we did all week was eat, lay on the beach or by the swimming pool, eat, relax, oh and did I say eat. We had the time of our lives. The hotel, food and the beach were amazing. This trip was reenergizing and exactly what everyone needed.
After spending a week in paradise, Scott and I returned to Utah for four more days to visit family before he started third year rotations. It was so cool because he spent a week on the beaches of Mexico and back to Utah to do a little snowboarding at Snowbasin. "The best snow on earth." It doesn't get much better than that.
