Trip to Neighboring Scottsville

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

On a cold winter day 268 years ago, the first officers of Albemarble County (our county) were installed in the town of Scottsville, Va. Today, we live 20 minutes from this historic town full of relics and lots of warm weather activities. Sadly, the weather turned snowy and chilly on our visit.

Our first stop in Scottsville was the museum.

Happy February Wreath

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Our new February wreath.

Happy February! This month I used my same wreath I created back in November to celebrate a month of love.

The design is pretty simple this time. I used paper hearts I cut, a stack of buttons and a new spool of white yarn. In total, it's about a $3 project that took me 20-30 minutes. Threading yarn through small buttons holes took most of the time. . . .

The World in Our Bathroom

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Today, the world spans our bathtub. Our world map shower curtain made its way into the apartment after one of our first shopping outings. Thanks to Bed Bath & Beyond, we can study the world when showering.

No better shower curtain.

So, this probably makes us a little nerdy, but what did you expect?! Cole likes sources of knowledge, especially when they can help him brush up on world capitals. And me, well, I was a geography major, made maps and like the world. It's a pretty cool place. I encourage you to get your own if you like any of the above. . . .

UVA Is Not KU

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Cole and I enjoy our first UVA basketball game.

Well, I attended my first college basketball game outside of Allen Fieldhouse. Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular (sorry, UVA) because nothing can compare to my Jayhawks or AFH. Let's be honest.

Regardless, the John Paul Jones Arena doesn't disappoint in the classy department as far as facilities go. It's definitely new and offers good viewing. Granted, I wasn't in the nosebleed section, so I can't vouch for that. But from our corner spot in the student section, Cole and I watched UVA take on No. 19 NC State. . . .
