Road Trip

We decided on Friday afternoon to make a quick trip to our future town to try to find a house! Since we are moving in two weeks (YIKES!) it sounded like a good idea. We have decided to rent for the first bit since we are not from there and really don't know where we want to be. The same realtor who took us on our speedy tour of the community when we were there in May was very kind and agreed to help us find a nice rental home. We left first thing Saturday morning leaving Care Bear with a great friend so we didn't have to worry about her and headed south. La-La was so excited to come mainly because she couldn't wait to sleep in a hotel. She asked questions all the way down about what the hotel would be like. It was pretty cute. When we got into town, our friendly realtor took us around and showed us several houses she had researched for us. We saw some great homes and are hoping to rent the first one we toured. I have always wanted hard wood floors, a jetted tub and to live on a street that the kids could ride bikes and play safely. The house we are hoping to get has all three! It is near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and has a decent sized yard. The kids loved it plus we would be able to get a dog as it has a built in dog run with a doggy door! It is a beautiful house that will be easy to turn into our HOME! We will fill out and send in the rental application tomorrow so pray everything goes well.

Our drive home today was quite entertaining. When we stopped for lunch Jaco said the quote of the trip! He was trying to balance playing his DS while eating a large rootbeer float and in frustration said "My underwear is on backwards and that makes everything worse!" I laughed so hard! La-La's qoute was said when she saw an airforce fighter jet doing tricks over the freeway including flying upside down.She said "I bet they are screaming in fear up there!" Then as we were driving we noticed a guy driving along on his Harley. All of a sudden he rode with no hands! For about five minutes he rode going 70 mph with both arms outstreched like he was flying. La-La even said that she thought he was flying. Then as he passed a Harley shop on the side of the freeway he bowed to it still with no hands! Pretty stupid if you ask me but entertaining to watch! I wanted to get a picture but we never got close enough.

So now it is back to packing and cleaning and praying that we get the house!

The high school's mascot is a caveman so we had to get a picture next to one of the locals.
