Dawn's Story

Moved to Las Vegas in 2015 and loving life here! Curt and I stayed with my sister and brother in law Pat and Phil. We had jobs within 2 months. Curt works at Aria resort and casino, and I picked up a part time job around the corner at Walmart Neighborhood, a grocery store. We moved into our new home and mile away from Pat and Phil. I had a great time with my co workers and management treated me well. I got to know my customers and had fun with them. I enjoyed helping the kids with math when Mom and Dad let them buy a candy bar or a toy. The education system is poor out here, and I just wanted to help the kids wherever I could. After 2 years, I retired, and spend a lot of time with family and have been able to get back to quilting. Pat and Phil drove across country in July 2017 to visit family and friends. They convinced Shannon, my daughter, to move back here and follow them out. My sister Robin heard about the trip, and offered to help Shannon with the driving. They stopped to see family in Memphis and many sights along the way including the Grand Canyon. They got here late at night, so when they drove over the mountain to the Las Vegas valley, they saw the whole valley lit up. A beautiful sight!

drove to Newport Beach, California, and visited with my nephew PJ (Philip). We all put our feet in the Pacific ocean, and made it a true coast to coast trip for Robin and Shannon! Once we came back to Vegas, we went to my niece's home(Missy) in North Las Vegas and visited with her and her family, Aron, her husband, and her 3 kids. Another day we went to see 2 of Missy's kids, Alex and Abby, at karate class. Gabe, the youngest, watched with the rest of us. While Robin was here, we did more family stuff until it was time for her to fly home to New Hampshire. Shannon found a job right away with the Wynn casino, and stayed with us through the holidays. And in the spring, she moved into her own apartment 10 minutes from work. She immediately found some good friends, and is enjoying life here! We have one grandson with my husband's youngest son Kyle, and another on the way this December. We miss seeing Kyle, his wife, Trish, and their son Ayden. They are back in Connecticut. We got to see them last fall when we were on vacation in Florida and from there went to Connecticut for Peggy's (Nolan- Saunders)Dad's funeral. It was a sad trip, but seeing Peggy, Andy, their families, Kyle, Trish, and Ayden, and other friends still in Connecticut, made it nice. Life is good!
