Having spent the first 25 years of my adult life raising a family in a military lifestyle, moving every year or two, I was very happy to settle down in New Mexico. We have lived in and traveled to many parts of the United States, and actually passed through Albuquerque many times while moving across the country to new duty stations. I love Albuquerque's climate, cultures, and lifestyle, and especially having the mountains so close.

I have 28 year...
