AgAiN?!?!?!?!

That is a common phrase that we have heard recently. Yes, it is true, we have moved again. Our landlady wanted us to sign a new lease for 2 years with a 20% increase in rent and we were not willing to do either.
So..... we moved into a teeny tiny house in Long Beach, with my mom. It is temporary until we find what we are looking for. We truly wish to thank all of those who assisted in this effort~ Jesus, Roger, Bob, Ivan, William and Bill, Mark, Seth, Flynt, Don, Dan, Andrew W, the neato Coast Guard guy whose name I can't currently recall, and especially Alfonso, Dave, and Trevor for helping with the unloading portion too. And most especially my best buddy ever! Teesha was so helpful in moving, packing, laughing, crying, barfing, you name it and she was there!!
( I hope I remembered everyone! If I forgot you, sorry! We really do appreciate you!!!)

We are continuing the adventure of unpacking and finding a spot for this and that. This move was not a fun one, given the fact that we moved from our beloved San Pedro and are in housing limbo. But my mom was kind enough to allow us to camp out in her house for a bit.

We will still be in the San Pedro Ward, talk about stretching the boundaries! But we still feel that it is where we belong and want to be...

Just another adventure.....

During this move we were able to listen to conference on KBYU. What a choice experience it is to hear from the prophet and our brothers and sisters.
One of my favorite leaders is Elder Perry. It was so great to hear his talk as I was moving because it was all about simplifying our lives. Let me tell you, I am so ready for a simplification of my life! We have amassed so much stuff! Between the household goods and the photography business... holey moley!

I truly appreciated the words of President Monson as well. His parting words, so simple and true, Heavenly Father knows us and is aware of us. Exactly what I needed to hear at that moment of utter exhaustion and frustration.
My cup truly runneth over.

Wow, nice way to keep us in the loop. I feel left out. Well I guess now that you really don't have a place of your own, the next move will just have to be up here. Sounds GREAT to us!!! Sorry we weren't there to help you! We love and miss you guys! How is Gailons job hunting? and how is school?

Moving is such a challenge! I wish we could have been there to help as well. I think simplifying sounds like a plan! I'm finding life out here is a little more simpler--maybe not just as fast paced as before. We still need to get ourselves to slow down, though, right!?

Pedro misses The Tuckers. I'm glad we got to bond even closer over MOVING! I have to admit...I'm getting older, my body was hurting the next day. I have never been to your mom and dad's house, but when I saw the inside of the garage, I swear I thought I was going to lose it. I could feel all the memories of your dad and you in that garage. I know your mommy is happy to have you home. I love you!

Kelsey asks everyday to go to "Sister Tucker's house." I was so sad when out-of-the-blue you were moving.

I appreciate the lessons and everything and I am here to help you in any way.
