House Hunting

Grandma Venna flew in on Monday from Utah and Daddy and Mommy flew out on Wednesday to California.  We were exhausted by the time we got there.  We Drove around with our realtor and looked at lots of homes, but mostly looked at neighborhoods so we could figure out where we wanted to buy. 









It wasn't all business.  One night we went to Historic Sutters Street in Folsom and enjoyed a nice dinner at a German Restaurant.  Mommy loved the accordion player and was very excited to finally live somewhere that had an authentic German Restaurant in town.  We also went for some nice walks and runs along the American River that flows through Folsom.

We only had one mishap on our trip when Mommy slipped off a curb on a handicapped ramp and fell in front of the Real Estate office.  She hurt her ankle really bad and couldn't walk on it.  Someone in the office called 911 and the next thing we knew Mommy was riding in an ambulance to the hospital and Daddy was driving behind it thinking about how much this was going to cost them.  So, the hospital did an x-ray and then the doctor said it was not broken put it in a wrap and brace and sent them on their way.  Mommy vowed never to fall of the curb again especially in a public place with lots of people around, because they over react.  Oh, well.  It is still pretty sore and swollen, but mom was able to still see some more houses and get around. 

Overall our trip was wonderful we missed our kids a lot and were glad to be home and see them.  They were happy we were home also and we gave each of them a little present from our trip.

  1. Tauna! I'm sorry that you hurt your ankle! What a bummer.

    So, are those pics of your new house???
    I'm glad you liked Folsom! (But still sad you're leaving Rochester.)

  2. The pictures are just of some houses we looked at. We haven't made any decisions yet. We need to see what our house will go for first until we can really make a commitment. It is hard to leave somewhere we love. We really just have to have faith that this is where we are supposed to be. Folsom has some wonderful things about it too. :)

  3. Tauna, This move is becoming a reality. Hope all works out. It is good to see you and the family getting closer to Utah. It looks like you are making wise choices, and taking it a step at a time, except for the curb thing. Don't push it to get back on injury until it heals. Tell the grand kids hello. Love you.
