By Ashley Patricelli on Wednesday, February 10, 2021

The city living was not for us, none of my family was happy. We found a small mountain town three hours away from Las Vegas that is just perfect. We are in a small community in the mountains, surrounded by cows, mountains, and springs. I feel like I can breathe here. The only problem is …

Catching up with Nancy Murphree Davis

By Nancy Murphree Davis on Wednesday, December 16, 2020

This year has been filled with so many changes, some expected and some unexpected. Since my 2019 interview, my husband and I PCS’ed to Charleston, SC after a 7.5-month deployment that seemed to go on forever.
