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.

I know Can You Believe it!

I know I have said this before but things are different now. My life has changed drastically. I went from running around with my head cut off to actually having a little time to do some things that I would like to do. Why? Well for some of you that don't know we finished medical school in Virginia and we moved to Los Angeles CA where Scott is doing his Orthopedic Residency for five years. He is gone all of the time and gone a lot of nights and that is where this hopefully will fit in. The girls are in bed and Scott is gone of course so here we are.
I have really tried to keep a little notebook for myself of hilarious things my girls say to me everyday but I have decided it would be easier to just log it in here. So here we go.
Yesterday Bri and I were coming up the stairs in our building and the wind was blowing just right to carry the scent of some women. Bri didn't realize that so she said to me mom you smell so good and I told her that it was the perfume of that women and she said no I think it's just the fresh country breeze.

First I have to tell you that my girls are in love with my Dad. Bri has come up with some Crazy name for him Kiki Palmer? Where the heck did she get that? Who knows.

Today Chezie (17 months) brought me the phone and said Bompa (grandpa). I thought that was the cutest thing ever that she put together that she wanted to talk to him so she went and got the phone. I love my girls more than life itself. They really are the most amazing spirits and everyday I look at them wondering why I was so blessed to get them as my girls.
