As native Vermonters, we believe in not changing the lay of the land around us. We purchased an older home in Nevada instead of brand new home in a new development largely due to two factors: one, our daughter needs a good school system and two, the older home sits on a larger lot and has its own well and septic.

I've been fighting to establish a system of friends without much success, because the culture is vastly different from what I've known. The same fight extends to re-establishing my career in a stunted economy.

I am thrilled to find this website and to participate in it, and very happy to find many Nevadans already here. :)
