Nevada welcomed us out in the middle of nowhere!We made it safe and sound, we are settling in nicely, the house we rented sight unseen turned out good, and we have internet now! Hooray!
The drive was beautiful we split it into two days, the first was a little long but the second was not too bad although we did not get to drive though Mammoth because chains where required! We had quite the envoy, Dan in the truck pulling the Honda, Daddy in his Jeep pulling a trailer and the rest of the crazy bunch bringing up the rear in the van! Our own little circus!
We have found all the important things so far, the Reno Temple, Church, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Target, the co-op (more on that in another post!), Goodwill, but darn it I have not been to the library to get a new card!!
The mountains are beautiful to look at, I look forward to seeing the area green this summer! I know everyone calls this the littlest big city or what ever but so far I am lucky to have maps on my phone or I would not have made it home (several times)! I am just letting Dan be my driver for now!
The kids where all excited to have snow the other day, it covered the ground and then melted a few hours later. Win, win!!

I am still drowning in boxes, although this kitchen is oh so cute and original to the house (60?) it is small and we are missing the added space of a finished basement we had in CT. But it is our own and we are discovering all our long packed treasures (and a few things we are wondering why we packed)!!
Thank you all for your love and prayers!

So fill in the details! Did Dan get a job in Reno or how did you choose where to go? Sounds like a wonderful adventure!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhole Foods, Trader Joe's and Target!!!! I'm moving in with you! Get my room ready.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're getting settled in. Nathan and my sister and I are all really happy for you. Now down to important matters - you're now only 8 hours away, and you have breakfast buffets. I'm thinking a road trip is in order within a few months!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you!!! It looks like you are having a fun time exploring. Miss you!
