I love Nevada. I am living in a little town just south of Carson City
called Gardnerville. I have been here just over a month now and have
found a place to live with a family from Kyle's home ward. I have found a
job that I love at the Carson Valley Animal Hospital. I was just
promoted from a patient care assistant ( aka a kennel kid) to a vet
assistant. I am really excited about it. I begin my training tomorrow.
Lastly, I bought my first car. It's an Isuzu Trooper, I hadn't ever
heard of it until I bought one, but so far so good. I have had so many
blessings in my life that has made this move easy to adjust to. Kyle's
family is so great and has bent over backwards to help me in anyway that
they can. They have made me feel so welcome and have helped me feel a
lot less home sick. But I still miss all the crazy people I left behind
and can't wait to see everyone at Christmas!!!

We went to Scheels to catch some fish.
I asked Kyle to pick me out a dress and these were the ones that he liked. Look at all (2) of the colors.
DUMB
DOG: I stayed at Kyle's Aunt Billies house for a few nights while
Rachel was in town and took care of the Tucker. I liked him for the most
part until he fell asleep and began to snore.
My
little house: I'm renting out a room from some members, the Millers, in
Kyle's ward for a little. Its just above their garage and has a little
kitchen, living area, bathroom, and a TV. Its really nice to have my
own space.

Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe
Rachel,
Ross, and I (Kyle had to work :( took an afternoon and hiked down to
Emerald Bay. In the middle of the bay there is an island with a castle
on it, where an old lady used to have her tea every afternoon. While we
were there a river boat went by that reminded my of the ones they have
on the Savannah River. It was nice to see a little bit of home all the
way out here.

I am no longer a fan of Labs. They are the biggest babies in the wold!
The constantly cry when they are left alone in their cages and it is so
annoying. We couldn't take the whimpering any more so we finally gave
this little guy a kitty friend just to give our ears our rest. |

isolation (room for highly contagious animals) for a virus it had. We
have to dress up like this everytime we had to go out and check on him. |
