Leanne Proniuk and her family moved to Henderson on Nov. 15 from Canada after a job opportunity came up for her husband. 

"We wanted to reduce our debt significantly," Proniuk said. "Plus, we weren't having family time. I was working weekends and he was working through the week." 

Proniuk had been to Las Vegas before and had her doubts about the city. 

"It is the city of sin," Proniuk said. "My first thought was, 'I am not raising my children there.' " 

But after realizing that there were suburban communities beyond the Strip, some of her fears were lifted. 

"It has been a very positive experience so far," Proniuk said. 

For one thing, Proniuk, who is used to Canadian winters, loves the change in weather. 

"I love that I can wear flip-flops in December," Proniuk said. "I think it's ironic that here, people dress their children in earmuffs, mittens and what I think looks like a parka while my daughter is in a spring jacket." 

Proniuk is still getting used to cultural differences. 

"Nobody comes out of their houses," Proniuk said. "They go into their garages, shut the door and don't come out.All prada bags with high quality and best service, save 50% off, Free and fast delivery. In Canada,To get cheap and buy moncler jackets online . we don't really have garages, and if we do we don't use them." 

Proniuk doesn't know if it is because her subdivision is newer, but she said the higher walls in her backyard add to her not being able to get to know her neighbors. 

Even when she picks her 5-year-old daughter up from school, there is no chitchat among many of the mothers. 

"Don't get me wrong. I have met some wonderful ladies," Proniuk said. "But it seems many are buried in their iPhone. Maybe it is the changing of the times." 

Despite that, Proniuk has met some friendly people. 

"I know Canada is known for being friendly, but people in the service industry have been incredibly friendly here," Proniuk said. 

Christmas, however,Buy Fashion monster beats cheap with big discount! won't be the same, she said. 

"We put up our Christmas tree and it just didn't feel the same," Proniuk said. "We are going to be missing our friends and family big time this year."
