Albuquerque?!?!

We are moving down to Albuquerque; not anytime soon but soon enough to have to start thinking about it.... As we'll be there for a minimum of 2.5 years, it's a significant move, so there's much to contemplate...

Buying or renting with many neighborhoods to choose from... Less impressive mountains to hike but still surrounded by beautiful nature... Milder winter temperatures but hotter summers... More interesting employment opportunities. Lower cost of living... University environment... Plenty of bike paths... Less quaint than Santa Fe... Good restaurant choices... Nice grocery stores and Co-op but no Santa-Fe-Farmers-Market... Different life balance with Doug in full time graduate school...

The list is endless and grows weekly....

It's a different transition this time as Doug and I are making it together.... It's challenging making a change when what you're changing FROM is SO good, but I'm almost -not quite ;-)- starting to look forward to it....
