New here...
Hello all,
I am new both to the boards as well as to the Las Vegas area. I moved to Henderson back in November with my husband from Colorado. I have been having a tough time adjusting and meeting people. Just thought I would stop in and say hello. So Hello!
Re: New here...
Hi! The board is really slow. Welcome.
Thanks! I have noticed that there is not much action on here, but I figure at least you are people that live somewhere near me!
I have a feeling it is going to take me quite a while to adjust to living here. I also have never lived anywhere else and both my husband's and my family live back in Colorado. One day at a time...
All of our family lives on the east coast, so we are here solo like you and your DH. I work at Sunrise Hospital. Are you working?
DH and I moved here in 2003. Both of our families live in AZ. We were both born and raised there, etc. It is just a 4 1/2 hour drive, but it's not like we can go down all the time with work and things. I don't find it hard making friends I find it hard keeping them. The two friends I have had for a few years are moving away in October.
I am working at St Rose Dominican Hospital-San Martin. I work on a ortho/surgical unit. Do you work an a specific unit?
That would be pretty hard to have your DH know lots of people and you not knowing anyone. My DH was out here for 2 years before I moved, so he knew some people too.
I am pretty shy as well. Not really inclined to just go out and start talking to people. We really only know people that my DH works with.
I never thought that getting married and moving and new jobs and such would have such an impact on me, but I am realizing how many changes happened in my life very quickly. I am just trying to give myself time to adjust.
I didn't even think about the "keeping friends" part. Vegas is such a transient place. I don't really know any of my neighbors, but in the 8 months I have been here 3 of them have moved.
I actually work in radiology. Las Vegas is very transient! I, like you, had a huge circle of friends in PA and then I came here and had nothing. I moved, got married, got pregnant, had a baby in about 3 years. Moving has been the hardest part!
Yep I feel the same way! Before I moved I thought we would start trying right away.
I think we will both get there girl...just not as fast as we would like.
I know one thing for certain though, we will never be moving out of the area. So I am working on making the best of it.
Hello! I live in Henderson also (Green Valley specifically) and I moved here over 7 years ago. I still feel like my "home" is back in San Diego where most of our family and friends are. There are a lot of things I like about living here, but we have not made too many good friends either. We have a few, but nothing like back "home". I knew a lot more people when I worked at an office, but now I am self employed and work from home. So that makes it more difficult.
My husband and I just visited family in Colorado a couple weeks ago, and it was beautiful! We seriously wish we could move there, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Anyways, welcome to Henderson and I hope you start to adjust soon. We should plan a get together at a local Starbucks or something one day. Take care!
