Perhaps some bad news this time. We're a bit worried about our neighborhood after what happened yesterday. Right across the street from us, there was what appeared to be a gang initiation. A couple of guys got beaten pretty badly. I did what any self-respecting man would do. . .I hid in my house and called the police. I did, however, manage to film the whole thing on my cell phone. Here's the video. I'll warn you, it's not for the weak of stomach.

Greetings from Crowley, Texas. I'll make this post short and incoherent, since we've both been exhausted since Thursday. We have arrived safely in Crowley, which is just southwest of Fort Worth. We spent all day packing. Kaaryn and I loaded our entire storage unit ourselves, which contained the vast majority of our stuff. Kaaryn is a lot tougher than she looks. Friday, Kaaryn's dad, Shane, and I drove the stuff while Kaaryn flew to Fort Worth with Salem. Shane and I left at 5:30AM Arizona time and arrived at 11:00PM Arizona time. We made no superfluous stops. Kaaryn left 10 hours after us and arrived 4 hours before us. You gotta love air travel!

Our house was quite a mess when we got here. We've been trying to clean and settle and whatnot nonstop since Saturday, and we still have a very long way to go. So stay posted for updates. I have been getting hounded for more pictures of Salem, so this posting should get some of you off of my back.

Here we are striking a pose in front of the house. Shane made us.

Roxanne and Athos picked up right where they left off. Here they are in the cab of the moving truck.

Kaaryn and Brianne took some photos of Salem and Dalton. These two are cousins, for those who don't know.
