20. I'm determined.

I loved my home city of Memphis, Tennessee, but I've been visiting Las Cruces every year since 2018, usually in the fall (except 2020 due to the pandemic, but I visited twice in 2021). At this point I'm adamant that I'll be retiring in Las Cruces, if I don't get there before then. Being in a big blue dot in an increasingly irrational red state is affording me only so much happiness. I'm feeling froggy.
My husband and I are awaiting some major financial good news, hopefully to arrive soon. If and when that happens, we may start looking at houses as early as this fall during our visit.
