Tomorrow we begin our quest to find a home in Albuquerque. Kate is joining up with us and we're all going to be exploring this new and exciting geographic region know as the Southwest!
While we are there Dave will be meeting with some people at the Air Force Research Lab at the Kirtland Airforce Base - which is conveniently located next door to the Albuquerque VA Hospital (my future place of employment) and just a few miles from the UNM Hospital (me & Kate's future place of employment).
We will definitely be spending quality time at the Flying Star Cafe & Satellite Coffee Shop. Having spent the past six years in the cafe of Barnes & Noble (which is about as exciting as American cheese), I am ready to embrace the local cafes, coffee shops, and co-ops with a vengeance. I am sure I will become closely acquainted with these places as I spend my weekends writing my dissertation :)
This weekend there is an International Native American Powwow happening around the UNM campus. We will be sure to check out this uniquely New Mexico happening, the first of many fun cultural experiences we will surely have in our new home!
I am also excited to check out the vegetation and learn how to create a Southwest Garden in my future yard. I was recently inspired by an Albuquerque "award winning garden" - check it out. There is grass!!
I think the first order of business when we move will be a patio dining set with an arbor (see below). I am sure that is something you can pick up at the local garden center, right??
