Nevada

I have started a new journey in my life, I have accepted a job teaching kindergarten in Dayton, Nevada.
My school badge and keys to the school. How official!!!!

So this past week Dad and I made the 2500 mile journey from Fairmont, West Virginia to Dayton, Nevada. It was a long three day trip driving a rental truck and pulling my car behind! Here are the views that greeted us as we entered Nevada.

It's rather barren here, but it definitely has it;s own beauty. I enjoy the mountains, however my car does not. I am currently staying at the Virginia City Inn that is owned buy the David and Linda Lindsey (they served a mission in the Fairmont Ward) while I search for a place of my own. The Lindseys have been incredible and I am very thankful for all that they are doing to help me out. Dad and I took a day to drive to Lake Tahoe. Unfortunately it was a Saturday and very busy so we just stopped at a scenic view area. It is a very beautiful lake and I plan on visiting again and hopefully next time I will be swimming there.


I have decided to like Nevada and I am really excited for all the possibilities that await me here. I'm not sure how long I will be staying in Nevada but while I'm here I am going to enjoy myself and seeing the wild horses.
