Hello friends and family.

We had been planning on recording a nice video message, but our laziness took over, and we chose sitting in front of our fake fireplace, drinking local beer and watching Forensic Files II. We’re exhausted, honestly, and this post will most definitely reflect that fact.

After a lot of debate, Jenny and I have decided to lock it up for a bit and hunker down in the mountains around Sedona for the next few weeks. We had planned on driving back east towards the end of this coming week, driving up and the coast from before spending a month in New York. However, the current state of the universe told us this was just not the responsible decision. Especially considering most of our stops were city settings (Memphis, Nashville, Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach… etc.) and traveling into New York right now is probably ill-advised, we decided to leave these for another time.

We’ve been here since Wednesday, and we’ll be camped out here and laying low for the next few weeks. At some point we’ll assess how everything is going and figure out what we want our next step to be. In the meantime, we’ll be getting out and exploring.

Today we decided to drive down to Phoenix as up here in the mountains was a little colder than desired. We ended up at Mormon Trailhead south of the city that took us up a mountain and around a loop through some awesomeness. Some photos below.

Tomorrow we’ll be sticking around the area since it will be warmer, so probably some more photos of wherever we end up. Also, Jenny just found a pie place, so… pie. Pie is in our near future.

Stay safe everyone!
