as a 4th grader. Grew up in Southwest NM. In Silver City near The Gila National Forest (first national forest declared as such late 1800s T. Roosevelt). A wonderful area. And I’ve been in Albuquerque since 1980 (college and eventual accounting career). I’ve raised three kids in NM largely in the 90s. Originally from Texas I never failed to appreciate the cultural diversity and inclusion of our state. From our rich Hispanic culture to our equally rich Native American heritage kids tend to grow up with great acceptanc of others That always meant a lot to me and I feel moving here made a big difference in the way I viewed the world. More expansive I guess than had I been raised in Texas. But I do love Texas still and I won’t give up on my home state.

I continue to love NM. And the weather? Just can’t beat the weather here. Four seasons. No humidity to speak of.

Good luck in your decision!
