Sticking to the trail-

In an attempt to stay true to our commitment to post to this thing, i will now post- to this thing. Anyway, this last few weeks have been a whirlwind of visiting madness. On Wednesday the 23 of April we finished with Utah, sub-letted our apartment and left. The girl who rented our place is great and we are excited about not paying the rent all summer. After the long drive from Utah to California we arrived in Loyalton and had a splendid time with my mom. Activities included going to a Scottish-games event and seeing hundreds of burly scots bare their nethers, doing lots of thrifting in Reno, walking in the high mountain desert with my mother and generally having a good time. After a week or so of rollicking we flew out to Dallas to visit the other side of the family. After landing in Dallas we drove to longview to spend some time with our lovely mother Sree. We also attended the funeral services for one of Rachel's great aunts, and then picked up brother Jesse from the airport. Jesse, by the way, has just finished Officer Candidate School for the navy and to be quite honest is a rather hard-core chap these days. After good times in east Texas we drove back to Dallas and picked up Rachel's dad. The three of us then went on a splendid road trip down to Austin and then finally ending up in San Antonio. In San Antonio we spent the day looking for apartments for Gary ( Rachel's dad), we found a really nice place that makes our basement back in Utah look like a basement from Utah- if you get my drift. After returning to Dallas and spending the night we are now preparing for the long flight back to Reno and then an even longer flight to Singapore. Long story short things have been crazy good times in a box. Well, hope to keep y'all updated, feel free to comment on stuff if you feel i am being too descriptive, or not descriptive enough. We love you all.
