Today we picked Sean's start date, June 7th. We are planning on moving the end of May and moving in to our new apartment the beginning of June. Things are finally starting to seem real. We are looking more seriously at apartments and think we might have found the one! All the apartments that we're considering have playgrounds and pools which will be amazing, especially for Lexi. Now we just have to sell some of our furniture, finish packing (luckily I started the packing process when we first got the job offer) and find someone to take over our apartment contract here. And and we still need to have the baby!
And because I know you're all curious, here are some fun Albuquerque facts:
It is a high desert climate. The population of the city itself is just over 500,00 and the metro area is about 800,000. The average home cost is about $200,000. There are over 300 sunny days a year. The average temperature in July is about 90 degrees and 50 in January. There are three Costco's in the metro area. ABQ is home to the world's longest arial tramway and home to the Albuquerque International Ballon Fiesta in October (which we're so excited for). And importantly there is a temple there too.
And here are a few pictures...
