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.

Every week in the chapel at church there is a gorgeous arrangement of flowers. I commented to Rebecca how much I enjoyed them. Once again she came up with this fabulous idea of having this lady that arranges them teach us how. These are a few pics of some bouquets I did.

Oh my goodness! I went to this store today called Sam Moon and kept thinking about how much you would LOVE it! It was just this huge store like the size of a TJ Maxx just FILLED with bags and jewelry and sunglasses. And THEN we went next door to their home store and it was like one stop shopping for awesome decorating stuff. And it was all like China Town prices. Man, if you ever make it out here we could have some serious shopping FUN!

Also, could you email me the name of that cute quote book that you have? I want to order one for myself...I am working on those calendars so pick out your top 12 favorite pics of Miss B and send'em over!
