Am I SAFE?

Truthfully I believe the valley is safe. Or at at least I feel that it is. I haven't heard shooting outside my window or seen any real violence around me. Obviously I am aware that there is plenty of it elsewhere, since I hear about it in the news and from people that live in ghetto neighborhoods, but my neighborhood is simply calm and boring.
My cousins from Mexico come over and say that it is so quiet at my house compared to theirs. I also have some friends that go to my church that live in Reynosa, Mexico--right across the border. They talk about the things that go on over there, but, even though it's so close, it feels like it's far away because I myself am not seeing it.
I hope the violence will not spread all over the valley; the local news makes it clear that there is a lot of issues close to and around the border, but I still think this is a safe place to live.
