House-hunting is over...  Now back to Mexico for yet another 'final' hurrah

 
It only took us two days of real house hunting to find the place we wanted to rent... That's probably because we managed to quickly look at about a dozen extremely sub-par overpriced places.  So when we saw the lovely almost new home at 6199 Deergrass Circle, we just couldn't pass it up.

The house is quite nice inside, and has a small  backyard as well as a tiny rooftop patio.  Outdoor living space was the highest of priorities for us - or else why live in New Mexico... right?  It's a 2 bed / 2 bath (visitors welcome!), the first of our seven residences as a couple to have more than 1 bed OR bathroom.  The best part is probably the location, the "sought after" Bosque area.  We back up to the preserve running along the banks of the Rio Grande, which is lined with cottonwood trees and has a very long biking/walking path running the length of the city.  Right now it looks a bit barren from our rooftop, but we're told the cottonwoods bloom any time now and will be beautiful.  If not, at least we can see the Sandia mountains in the distance.

Since the lease doesn't start until April 1st, we're heading to Puerto Vallarta for the rest of the month to live free and easy for a while.  We're currently on American Airlines flight #801 heading into Mexico.  At the very end of March, we come back and head for our storage unit in Riverside, California to get our stuff to bring back to Albuquerque... should be like Christmas opening our boxes after 2 1/2 years!
