Alamogordo, New Mexico

So I found out some stuff about your new town, it's way more interesting that my actual work. Your town was the first testing site for the atomic bomb...haha i thought that was cool...the population is around 36,000, about the same as the number of people who attend UMD...your town has a hot air balloon festival and a film festival every year...and i found a great blurb about shopping on your town's website:

"You will find great shopping in Alamogordo. It is the retail center for the region. Alamogordo has Wal-mart, K-mart, Home Depot, Lowes and JC Penny to name a few of our local national retailers. Our historic New York Ave. shopping district is a must see." ~http://www.alamogordo.net/shopping/

Assuming you get along with a decent amount of people and you don't get too bored, it might be a nice small town to live in for a few years. P.S. You are becoming such a grown up...moving in with your fiance and buying a house and all that stuff...wow when did we start getting old! Glad to see you're doing so good!

Love,
Kathy

I was there for a week and I don't remember seeing the historic shopping district on New York Ave...it's like a western ghost town.

I don't know we we started getting so old. But it feels funny...
