Max and I spent almost a week looking at zillions of houses and lots of schools. We saw things like this

and yards/landscapes such as these

My mom came out for a few days, helped to entertain Max and kept me from going insane. It was so nice to have her there. It was a lot of work. I probably looked at 10 or so houses (with only a few turning out to be possibilities) and we went and had visits at three schools.

In the end I got a great lead from somebody at church for a house the size we need in the area (with the right school) that we're interested in. Now we're just working on making that happen. Keep your fingers crossed for us, but so far things look good! When the house is ours for sure I'll post some more pictures maybe.

Lucky is the rentee that gets you guys as renters. His property could not be in better hands. As long as the coyotes don't get Max or Sultan. And no snakes show up in the bathroom. And there are no scrub wild-fires. I loved being with you guys. I cried when I sat down in the airplane, and I think that's why nobody stopped to ask if they could sit by me. Gotta love Southwest.

Santa Fe is a beautiful, serene city. Did you know I was born in Albuquerque and lived there for 10 years? You will enjoy your time there.

Hope the house does work out for you guys! Gotta love the desert landscaping:) I'm looking forward to moving back to AZ (possibly), but I'm going to miss the green-green grass. But its worth it to live closer to fam! Good luck!

Best of Luck with this lead! We hope to make it to Santa Fe in the near future. It has been too long!

This is great! I hope we can have lunch somewhere in Santa Fe! I'm pretty sure I'm only 45-ish minutes away. My neighbor tells me there's a place called Tomasita's in Santa Fe that has good consistent tasting New Mexican food. I don't know what New Mexican food is even like yet. But I'm sure I'll like something on the menu.
