When we moved to Redondo Beach in 1980, it was our 11th move in 7 years of marriage. Kirt had come from Kansas by himself to buy the house. I told him I wanted a good neighborhood, a big back yard, and not to walk into the house and see the kitchen sink. I got all that, but as he tried to tell me about it there was no way I could imagine it- I mean, if you were spending $100,000 on a house, "how bad could it be?" Where we were living in Kansas some friends were unable to sell their huge house for $130,000 and it had 1 acre of land, an indoor BB court, formal DR, and formal LR, lot of bedrooms and bathrooms, etc..... Our new home was about 900 square feet.
Shaunika was 3 months old, John was 2, Jeff had just turned 4, and Logan was 6. I felt it would be a good starter house- but we ended up there for 8 years, and by the time we moved to Placentia, Merika had been born, and Jessica was living with us. Logan was just going to start HS when we moved to Orange County, in 1988.
