Yup......Tuesday night (1/27/2009. about 8:30 pm) our kitchen caught fire when someone walked away from the stove while they were waiting for water to boil. Now WHO that person is is for you to determine. I'm not telling. :) Something next to the stove caught fire resulting in a call to the fire department (where Jon's dad worked once upon a time) who arrived promptly to make sure the fire was all out.
Everyone is safe. No one was hurt. We are, however, out of a home for the next couple of months. while different cleaning crews clean every item in our house (and I do mean EVERY item) in an attempt to get the smell of the smoke out of everything. The upside to all of this is that I will get a new kitchen... complete with cabinets, tile floor and the counter top of my choosing.
So for the next 2-3 months we will be living in a rental. If you need to mail anything to us just send it to our regular address. You may reach us on all of our existing numbers including our home phone (we're having home # calls forwarded to my cell). We do have access to internet being that we are staying with family for the time being. So we will be keeping up with that regularly.
Thank you to everyone who has help us with kids, given us a place to sleep, and helped us cover out church callings. We are doing well in spite of all that's happening. We thank you for help offered and received and gladly return the favor when and if you need it in the future.
The entire burnt area. (not that bad)
