We have loved every moment of it. We enjoy spending time outside so the Albuquerque weathersuits us well. Bicycling, 2 horses and 2 corgi's keeps us busy. The mother of two wonderful daughters; Ainsley the sports fanatic who graduated from the University of Alabama and received masters at TEXAS A & M,  to complete an internship at UCONN in the athletic department and now worksfor the University of Pittsburgh in Athletic Equipment. Heather the horse fanatic graduated May 2011 from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, received her Masters of Science in Mechanical Enginearing from the University of Wyoming and is currently at Iowa State getting her PHD in Wind Energy research and development; a division of Aerospace Engineering.  Both daughters found colleges by searching on www.farfrommom.com (only kidding).
