Katherine and James -- Albuquerque Turkeys!

Well its been just a couple of months now and Katherine and James are full fledged New Mexicans.  On the first of April they stayed up all night packing their moving truck.  They had a lot more stuff that they'd James moved there into a small--I mean SMALL apartment the first of April while he shopped for a house. Katherine came back and stayed with us while she finished her semester at school.  She went out once on a house shopping trip.  The bid on the house they wanted was won by someone else so they kept looking via the internet and Skype. But it turned out the house they really wanted was meant to be theirs.  The day before closing, the financing did not go through for the poor guy who originally won the bid, so Katherine and James were next in line.  They were so excited.  

I drove her out on May 14 with her car crammed full of her stuff and a big dog named Buckley. I stayed for a few days to see the house and their new surroundings.  We had a great time.  

Now they are busy decorating and getting settled in. James is doing really well in his new job and Katherine is doing some odd organizing and babysitting jobs while she applies to substitute teach for the local school district and prepares to start school again.  They've already had one guest come and stay with them since they moved in and many more trips are being planned.  We're hoping to get out there sometime this fall. 

So if anyone is planning a trip from Salt Lake to Austin or visa versa, Albuquerque is the perfect midway stopping point.  They've got a spare bed and plenty of room but beware of Piglet.  She loves to get in your face.
