Well, it's been a while, and I keep waiting for this uninterupted time to catch up my blog, but i'm yet to get that, also I don't have my computer to put up pictures, but here goes anyway.
So, we bought this house in La Mirada, and have moved out of our dream home in Brea. I was so sad to leave our ward, and i was just starting to get into my routine in Orange County, but, that's life I guess. We moved out about 3 weeks ago, and moved in with my parents. We thought It'd be about a week...three and counting. We wanted to fix the layout before we moved in, so we knocked down about 6 walls and realized they were supporting walls.
How did we find out you ask. Well, after my brothers were done taking out their aggression on the walls, we noticed the ceilings were starting to droop. "KIDS, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!" But, that was fixed thanks to Mark, Randy, and a couple of giant beams.
Well, when the walls were opened, we noticed some of the wood had been completely hollowed out by termites, and then realized the damage was quite extensive. Again, thanks to Mark, Randy, and A LOT of 2x4's the problems were fixed. 1 week later.
On to the plumbing...wait, what,the plubming needs replacing too? Uggggggh! Another weeks worth of work.
BUT, we're on the down slope now. The holes have been patched, and the ceilings redone, so we should be ready for paint and carpet by the next couple of days.
All in all it hasn't been too bad. We're tired, but all doing well, and even kind of excited about our new (for us at least) home. I'll try and get pictures soon

Congrats!! I heard that you moved but have yet to get your address. No one wants to call me back!! :-( Anyways, I sent an invite to Alan & Kendy for you. It's for Sue's 60th b-day. Ray really wanted to do a party for her, so we are carrying that wish out now that he is gone. Hope you can make it!! The day we originally planned was the day of Carolyn's baby shower. So, we had to change slightly. Hope all is well!!
We miss you out here. Hurry back. We still need to have play dates. How is school going for Kiera? We want pictures of your new place. :)
Great to hear from you guys! Congratulations on your new house! It looks like you're going to have a totally new house when you're done with all those renovations! Hey, I anyone can do it you guys can. Good luck! I know what you're going through. It won't be long before you're living in it and it'll seem like it never happened!
I'm laughing, because I can just see Mark's expression when he figured out what was going on with the ceiling!
Hey, just count your blessings, because at least with this new house you're not 9 months pregnant (about ready to POP with Kiera, might I add), with no-air conditioning and having Mark tell you, "Soon, I'll get to it soon". It sounds like Mark is getting quicker with his home improvement projects!!
We miss you tons and there is a chance we will be coming down for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, so we'll be sure to plan an entire Fisher/Rhodes reunion day. Love ya girl, T
You'll have to show us some before and after pictures of your remodeling project. By the way, I tagged you on my Blog. You don't have to do it, but so you know. Say hi to the kids for us.
