It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks!

First, we got promoted. Yes, we are now managers of our own retirement community, but here's the rub… we got transferred to El Paso, Texas.

We have a beautiful community on the east side of El Paso. The community name is Rio Norte. For those of you that don’t know, El Paso is on the Rio Grande in the corner of Texas bordered by New Mexico and Mexico. We’re north of the river, hence Rio Norte. We've been very impressed with the cosmopolitan nature of the town. We have 110 apartments on two stories and 9 cottages. The grounds are beautifully sculpted; we’re just so impressed and enjoy the much cooler weather!

We were offered the community on the 5th, confirmed that it was a go on the 8th and had to be here on the 14th to replace the temporary managers that left on the 15th. We reserved the U-Haul, packed in two days, drove to Phoenix to get the rest of our stuff, stopped in Tucson for the night and drove on into El Paso the next day. Whew!!!

We’re keeping our cell numbers for now to keep the confusion to a minimum. Y’all come visit us some time!

[PS As soon as we can figure out how to post photos, we'll show you our new home.]
