The Winnemucca Story
Where in the World is Winnemucca Nevada?? Well, we are about to find out! That's right, we are moving to the middle of nowhere August 19th!
This new adventure started a couple months ago. Kyle had gone to school and was notified of an accounting job in Boardman Oregon. He emailed them his resume and they called him back the next morning. He attended a short interview and came home. We talked about Boardman Oregon and the possibility of moving there. I thought it would be ok because it's only 2 hours away from my parents and only 1 hour away from Tri-Cities. A few days later Kyle got a call from the company who interviewed him. He was over qualified for the job in Oregon and they offered him the Assistant Controller of financing operations in Winnemucca. He came home to tell me and we laughed a little. We rolled it over and over in our minds and soon the thought grew more exciting. But, we knew we wouldn't make the BIG move without a little more incentive. I think the people felt this, within a week they had changed their offer a couple more times, each time getting BIGGER and BETTER. They WANTED him! He was the man for the job because of all his experience. Their offer became so BIG we would be idiots to turn it down! Kyle graduates in August with his Bachelors of Science in Accounting Degree. I'm so proud of him! Most people who graduate with that degree have to start at the bottom. But because of his grades and experience he's been chosen by this company to be the Assistant Controller. The name is Winnemucca Farms owned by RDO. He owns 60 John Deere Dealerships across the NorthWest including the one in Pasco. Simplot is about a tenth of the size of this company and operate in North Dakota, Oregon, Idaho and Washington.
We have been truly blessed! The Windows of Heaven have opened up and everything has landed right into place!! We secured a house, the town is about the size of Ephrata and has 4 LDS wards in it. My friend, Melissa Thompson moved there years ago and she loves it! I've been in contact with her from the beginning and she's been my little guinea pig! LOL! I'll call or text her frequently with questions. She would even drive miles out of her way to go look at houses for me. She owns her own Salon there and know about everyone so I'm excited to meet all her friends and glad she's there to welcome us!
I've had to keep this a secret for a couple months now. But, now that we are able to make the announcement I feel the sentiments rising with in me. It's a 9 hour drive, which isn't too bad. But, I know I'll miss my Mom. I've grown up here. 34 years of this beautiful country! We've established 5 acres of lush green land in Mae Valley and LOVE it out here! Now we are moving to the middle of the dessert. But we know for certain that this is the Lord's plan and this is where he wants us to go. We will not sell our place. We have our good friend Jody lined up to take care of it while we are gone. We would like to return soon, but don't know when. In the meantime, I will miss you all! We love you and God Bless!!
