We Have Arrived to Elko…

This post was meant to be posted yesterday....but with the wonderful windy weather we had ALL DAY the WIFI at the RV park was down :( Great Times!!!

We made it! The kiddos and I arrived in Elko last Thursday (very early) mornin'…2:19 am to be exact!! It was a good trip…Kaylee girl slept the whole way which made the trip that much better. So we made it and all the kids were so excited to see daddy, I was especially happy to see him, too. Its one thing when he is gone and I know he is comin' back but when he is gone and I know he is not comin' back…it was hard to stay behind! I was just leavin' Ely Wednesday night (it was still Wednesday) heading to Elko and Tad calls me to check on us. He proceeded to tell me he bought me a present. I was thinkin'…"wow he got me some sort of welcoming gift or something". He did just that…A Welcome to Elko gift…my very own ice scraper for my windshield. So sweet if him J Lucky for me I have only needed to use it once since being here, thank goodness.Today is Tate's first day of school. He was pretty nervous. Poor boy, but he is a pretty friendly kiddo so I am sure he is doing great. The school is about a half a mile or so from the house we will be renting, so he will be able to ride his bike (of course not in the snow).
Speaking of the house…I have yet to see the inside, only the outside and all I can say about is "HMMMM"!! Tad and my sister have both seen it and all they can tell me about it is that it is OLD…I can see that from the street, but today is the day. I will see it this afternoon. I tell ya…rental properties around here are few and far between.
The RV park has served us well….LOL!! I like staying in this camper. It is easy to keep clean and the space thing is not bad. The kids and I go for walks, play lots of games and read several stories. When the wind is not blowing we spend time at the awesome park downtown. It really is awesome!! But right now…the wind is blowing so hard it is starting to worry me. We may need to venture out of the camper and go sightseeing or something. There is a jacuzzi and a heated outdoor pool, but we have yet to try them out.
Tad is working as hard as ever. Trying to get things running the way he wants them. Long 12 to 14 hour days makes him really enjoy the weekend. It is a bit rocky right now, but once he get a good crew together and makes the changes he needs, it will all work out great for him.
I am not seeing Elko as a long term residence, unless it really grows on us. I don't dislike it…YET, even though I have already encountered issues with the post office. I love being close to my sister and having my kids around their cousins more. That really is great. I am looking forward to the slower pace of life, the country life and the four seasons.
But as I said…the kiddos and I are going to get out of here cause it is very windy and the camper is really rockin' J
