We got here on Sunday and as of Wednesday we still aren't settled in, yet.
Our carpets were covered with cleaning powder. So on Monday they had the carpet cleaners come out. Which meant we couldn't unload until Tuesday evening so the carpets could dry.
We have been letting the apartment air out these past few days as well...my eyes and nostrils have been burning from the cleaning powder they used.
So we spent our time cleaning and trying to get acquainted with our new area. Rose has been enjoying the very cold pool. And here she is in the media room at the clubhouse.

So Tuesday night our stuff got unload....and this is what our place looks like now.
I was planning on starting school on Monday....but I am having my doubts that our home will be organized, our school stuff organized, prepped and ready by then. ....we will see!
I will soon post about what we will be using for school this year.
PS- did you know that Nevada has more mountain ranges than any other state?
Someone on facebook posted a link to 'What Is Your State Good At?' that showed a couple of interesting facts about each state. Nevada's said "Nevada is #1 in teen pregnancies, home foreclosures, and meth use, but it also has more mountain ranges than any other state."
So I will focus on the positive and enjoy the fact that it has so many mountain ranges. We saw a lot of them on our drive here.
And Mt. Rose which is by Lake Tahoe, but we can see from here, still has some snow on it. .....quite beautiful.

So, Nevada has more mountain ranges than any other state, huh. Good to know. Unless you plan on pulling a bunch of all nighters, I'm thinking you might be modifying your schedule. You have to start the year out organized.
Welcome to the area. We are 80 miles NW? of you in California. A little town called Susanville. We love Reno and do the majority of our shopping there. Tahoe is so close to where you are and is beautiful. We had such a late start to summer that most mountains do have snow right now, but that isn't typical. In Tahoe they skied right up to the 4th of July.
Email me if you need any shopping tips or any info. I might now how to get it for you.

Yeah, Nevada has a bad rep. I've heard of people escaping from Reno to better themselves. I'm just thinking it's a springboard for you guys. Once you've had a taste of the West in general, you'll move again, or at least travel often. :)
When you are able to do it, you must spend some time in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA... and of course come see me in Alameda, CA!
