The BM- No, not bowel movement...BATTLE MOUNTAIN

Ever since Austin started working for Legacy, he has been stationed in Battle Mtn, Nevada. Its located in Northern Nevada and has been named "The Armpit of America" TWICE by the New York Times. No lie. :) I dont think Austin was too excited about moving out there, but after a few months he repeatedly told me that he actually didnt mind it. He had met quite a handful of people that were very nice and they were always willing to help Aust and his crew out whenever needed.

I laughed when he told me he was enjoying it (other than the fact that I wasnt out there with him). I mean...the town was an armpit and the population was extremley low. In fact, I dont even know if theres a comparable city here in Utah. Are you picturing what I was picturing when i first heard about it? Scary right?

I finished school in July and was awaiting a response from the nursing school I was hoping to get in to when Austin asked me to move out to Battle Mountain with him for a few months. I was surprised with my response...seeing how I had heard how hickish it was haha. BUT I was tired of being away from my new husband and it just seemed so perfect and right to move out with him. So we loaded up the 5th wheel trailer will all my clothes and accessories and off we went! Yes, we lived in the 5th wheel for almost 3months. We had so much fun and I wouldnt of had it any other way!

I am so glad I did. We had so many amazing experiences AND I met so many wonderful people. I was so lucky to be able to land a job in Physical Therapy with some of the GREATEST therapists I have ever come in contact with. Lyle and Mary were so awesome and I cant thank them enough for hiring me for the short time I was out there. I also became EXTREMELY close to one of the nurses at the hospital, Shanna, who was always there for me, helped me in any way that she could, and was so fun to be around. She had the cutest 3 girls EVER and I loved getting to spend time with them.

Thank you Lyle and Shanna for everything you guys did for me in the BM. Im so glad I got to experience the things I did with you guys. Ill be back to visit soon! This will be a journey Austin and I will never forget!

Here's the cute girls I got to babysit! Kenz, Krys, Liv
