I've decided that I like Richmond. First, we have a nice little neighborhood. Since I don't have any pictures loaded onto the computer, just imagine a nice little suburb with trees, people walking their dogs, etc. The weather is hot (which I'm fine with) but the humidity isn't bad at all. Plus, I'm looking forward to a winter with very little or no snow. There are tons of trees here. I usually don't think of Salt Lake as a desert (no sand, no cacti), but it definitely looks barren when compared to the sheer amount of forestry around Virginia. There's no smog or haze. Gas prices hover around $2.50 a gallon. The roads in general have less potholes. Road construction is virtually absent. There are surprisingly few bars here (helps make the atmosphere more family friendly). Though there aren't any mountains or trails, there are a bunch of parks within a few miles from where we live.
The bad news is that the movie theaters do not compare to the ones in Salt Lake. I'll sum up the movie going experience here in two or three words: Expensive, run-down. Other than that, I'll think we'll enjoy our four years here.

Yes, I'd like to comment on Virgina. Jordan spoke alittle pre-mature. Yes, there is road construction, and u can be tied up for hours. Due to the forerstry, and fanning of roads u can get lost for miles and miles, unintentially that is. As for the humidity, Jim and I found it almost unbareble, if not life threatening to run in, I guess Jordan can be selctive on his running days. It has alot of political history, and it has a great school, they do have a nice little home. We are so proud of them. We will miss them. And Jordan, keep bloging when Melyn can't. Your great.
So in other words, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
