A place to call home in Summit county

On June 16 2010, only eight months after we got married, we were face with yet another decision of what to do next for an investment property. I had been partners with Brad on a building that he was managing and wanted me out. I had to sell him my half.

I called Fredy to help me look for properties and after looking and looking to do a quick 1031 exchange, we felt good about a place on 2001 Park Av. #109 Park City, UT 84060 inside the prestigious Hotel Park City. This is it. We will not make as much money as we did in the other commercial property but it's ours and we love every inch. With this last purchase we have a home in four counties.

Lost and found

Bandit scarped one day and was found by someone who cared enough to call animal services. Rex on the other hand was sold on the street and the man who bought it saw the add on the paper and sold it back to the owners. We are all grateful for happy endings like this.

Once is not enough

At Carol Morgan on Friday June 11 and the next day a celebration prom dinner at the Country club, June 12

Party time for the class of 2010 at Carol Morgan!!!

The theme was ignition. On Friday all family and friends were invited to the commencement exercises. Pictures were taken before it all started. The school band played, the two best sutudents and a teacher gave their talks and the headmaster spoke. Teachers also gave awards to the seniors students. Mandy got the presidential award for academic achievement.

Before that, the class had been invited to attend a special mass and to a cocktail reception at the US Ambassador's home.

The next day was what the school calls prom dinner and dance. Father's walked with their daughters and mothers with their sons. toward the end they all dance. Mandy looked beautiful in her purple dress and shoes. she was like a princess. Mandy and Daniel had practice a traditional waltz but her in DR they a merengue music. It was so funny because Daniel is from Uruguay and can't dance merengue.

Graduation at Skyline

We flew again in June for Mandy's graduation at Skyline. It was to say the least a very awkward time for me because all the neighbors we had known for years were there over looking at Brad and his young new bride. But nevertheless it was great to see the children once more and to eat out with them. We stayed at the old racket club condo and went out with Fredy to look for properties.

Analia's graduation

Analia had been studying very hard to be a Physical Therapist for years and now in May of 2010 she finally gets to graduate from the University of Utah. We flew to Utah for this special moment and had dinner with the family to celebrate at Asian Star. We also wanted to spend some time with Alejandro who is getting married to Lexi in July. We stayed at the home in Bountiful since it had not been rented yet.

An empty home

We decided to keep our home in Bountiful because it is not a good time to be selling real estate, so from February to May this home was empty. One day, we got a call that we had to hurry and went to Salt Lake to send the shipment because the renters needed to move in right away. We flew and got the movers there and within 2 days it was done. At least we thought but it turned out that we left about 25 little things for others to do including taking the garbage out but it was too much to ask so the next time I move again, I will make sure to stay until I see that everything is done.

It's a boy

My mother only had daughters, I also only gave birth to girls so when it came to my first grandchild I expected another girl of course, but not this time.

Nixon is all boy. He is now 6 months old but looks as if he were a miniature young man with eyebrows and all. He has a handsome face with the cutest smile and amazing blue eyes. I am so excited to be his grandma. I knew someday this day would come but never imagined it to be so much fun. Like Nixon would say someday"my grandma vero rocks."
