Despite the rumors, I'm ok.

We're all moved, all exhausted, and all crazy for trying to find items in different boxes around the new house. The move went well, and had some friends over Saturday night, which was fun and hopefully indicative of many more nights to come. But, Saturday night, when we went back to the old rental to stay one last night (we had yet to move the beds or couch) we were awakened early in the morning for what turned out to be a crazy, strange, long night. You can read more about it here:

If you notice, in the article, it says the shooting happened between 8th and 9th St. My rental house was in between 8th and 9th. All Sunday we had police tape surrounding our entire front yard. The man killed was our neighbor (we didn't know him) but the shooting happened within 15 feet of our bedroom window. So long night to say the least. And as we spent part of our morning talking with the Sherriff, and the KBI, it's not surprising to hear the different stories spreading through our small town. But I would like to emphasize the fact that we do now have everything at the new house, and most definitely slept there last night.
