I was kinda' surprised. Tiffany said something that rhymed with "truck." We've had a few days to let it sink in. We told the kids this morning (with me on the web cam). Hannah and AJ really didn't care. Taylor seems a little disappointed.
We'll just have to make the best of it. I should be happy to have a job, let alone a job in which I'm 5 years away from collecting retirement (I hope). The bottom line for ABQ is the sun shines all the time, the cost of living is low, we're close to Colorado, the mountains and we're close enough to San Diego to visit once or twice a year.
Had we ended up in Ohio, we would have been stuck with crappy weather and we would have rarely visited Colorado or San Diego. I guess that's why we had ABQ #4 and DAY #5.
My job will be at the Air Force Research Laboratory - most likely working on new satellite technology. The job seems interesting. The best part of a research lab job is if your program fails, no one thought it would work anyway. If your program succeeds, you're responsible for new cutting edge technology.
My brother has lived in ABQ for ~20 years and all three of his boys grew up there, so we have some good intel on where to live and what schools to be near. We'll be moving the first week in August. Kids' school starts on 17 Aug.
Now, if I could just get the hell out of here, we'll be alright.
82 days to go.

Yes - I see many high desert runs in my future. We need to plan a R2R2R in the Grand Canyon.
Thanks for the encouragement.
