Last Thursday I got off work around 2:30 and was so ready to start my long weekend! I got Friday and Monday off and ended up taking Tuesday as well, so I haven't been at work since last Thursday! It seemed like a long 5 days, but it was much needed.
This sums up our Thursday afternoon/night. We hung out at home and packed for this weekend. Mitch was going on a guys trip from some friends from school to St. Louis and I decided to spend the weekend in Tulsa. I had comtemplated staying at home, but I knew I had a long weekend and about after 1 day of being my my self I tend to get really bored! Also, Will and Michelle were going to be in Tulsa for Tulsa Tough (bike race), so I figured why not spend some time with my family and go cheer on Will in his race. I knew I would regret staying at home for 4 days.
So Friday, we left early and met my parents for lunch at Nelsons. I had never heard of it before and oh my goodness it was delicious! My brother was asked to play there for a hour, so we got lunch out of it! I was kinda nervous becasue I had never heard of this place before, but it turned out to be amazing! It is all down home cookin' (which is my favorite meal) and I ate way too much. Mitch and I both had chicken fried steak, gravy, mashed potatoes green beans and okra. I should have taken a picture.. lets just say they are VERY generous with their portion sizes. Mitch and I could have easly split one.
After lunch, we headed over to see Peter and Scott. Mitch wasn't suppose to leave for St. Louis unitl about 6 that night, and I had plans to hang out with Natalie that evening. So we hung out with them in the mean time. Its always nice to catch up with them.
Later that evening I went with Natalie to a Harley and Maudes Jewlery Party. I blogged about this last week and it was amazing! They dont have a store, but go around and do parties all over OK. It is the cutest jewlery and you can get anything custom made. I ended up getting a custom made razorback necklace and I cannot wait for it to come in. I also got a cross that says southern charm. I got them all in a red/white color them so I an switch them out without having to buy all different color of beads to go with them. They said it would be about 4-5 weeks. I will post pics when they come in!!
After the party, we went and had dinner and then I headed downtown to meet up with Will and Michelle for Tulsa Tough. It was the perfect night to be outside and Michelle and I had fun cheering on Will.
As if Tulsa Tough isn't a big enough event that brings in TONS of people to Tulsa. The Jersey Boys was at the PAC, a Barry Mantelow concert, and a Drillers game was all going on downtown. Lets just say it was crazy! My parents were at Jersey Boys and they said it was awful trying to find parking.
Here are all the guys getting ready to start Friday night. It is crazy to watch, I don't understand how they do it!
After the race, we decided to go to Hideaway for late dinner. I think it was about 11pm but we were all starving. After we ate I drove back home and was finally in bed for the night! It was the best feeling to get in bed and not have to set an alarm for the next morning!
Saturday, my mom and I literally spent all day shopping. We left around 10 and got back around 4:30. I was exhasued, I can't shop like I use to be able to anymore. I didn't buy much, but I did get Bella a new cute pink bandana!
And we did make a trip to my favorite store...
We were in this little store for over an hour and I could have spent longer. If you havent gone in, next time your in Tulsa go! Its so worth it. Mitch got me a necklace for my birthday and it has my initials and our wedding date on it. I love it and it is a very simple piece of jewlery. I love that you can wear it with anything.
That night, my parents and I headed back downtown to watch day 2 of Tulsa Tough. Saturday was a little hotter than Friday. I was about to die.
We did get some good pictures though! It is always a fun atmosphere in downtown Tulsa. I loved how you can see the Cain's sign and the buildings in the background!
After the race, we had planned on going out to dinner, but we were all so hot and tired, we ordered in chinese and went home. My allergies really started acting up on Saturday, so I took some medicine and was in bed that night about 10. I have always had BAD allergies. I have just learned to live with them, but this weekend was horrible. I couldn't breathe and it was just bad. I had never experienced anything like that before.
So Sunday, we slept in and about 10am and my parents and I went to look at some houses. There is this neighborhood we are in love with and there are multiple houses for sale in it, so we drove around and then at 2 we had an appt to look at a couple fo them. I love getting to look for houses, but it is always a stressful process and so much to think about before you buy!
Later that afternoon, you'll never guess what we did... yes we went back out to Tulsa Tough. It is a three day race and day three is on riverside and is always the most fun to watch. We took Bella out with us and she loved getting to be outside all day and watch the racers!
Mitch got in later that night and I went to pick him up and then we headed back home to Bentonville. It was a nice weekend and I reallY enjoyed getting to spend so much time with family and friends!
We didn't get home until about 10:45 and we both went right to bed. Mitch was suppose to work but got called off, so we cleaned the house and did some packing. We are trying to start this process early, so when we do move it is not so stressfull. We cleaned out all the closets and packed up our winter clothes. My car is packed full and we are going to take it to Tulsa this weekend. Other than packing, I slept most of the day. If you know me this is very unusaul for me. I felt horrible. I felt like my allergies had taken over my whole body and I literally could not do anything to feel better execpt sleep. I took off Tuesday too, becasue I didn't sleep at all Monday night. I could have probably gone to work, but I would have been miserable and I have about 2 weeks of sick says built up, so I figured I should start using them.
Mitch worked yesterday and I slept a lot again and tried to do some cleaning. The relator was coming to take pics of the house, so I cleaned and then had to leave for about an hour while she was here. When I pulled up in the driveway I saw this and about started to cry..
I cannot tell you how excited I am to be moving to Tulsa, but it is still really hard to leave. It seems I am always sad while I am here in Bentonville, but then when I get to Tulsa and see how happy I am and how much fun we have with all our friends, I cannot wait to be there. I just have to remember this is what's best for us right now and even though it is going to be hard to leave this house we started out in, there are so many new adventures to come!
I also had to go to the doctor and figure what was going on with my allergies. He didn't really know what was going on either, but just said I was extreamly congested and put be on multiple perscriptions, he said with how bad I am not just one is going to work. This is what I came home with...
I hate being on medicine, and I am just hoping this helps me! I am feeling a little better today, but my eyes are still swollen and itchy. With my past eye issues, it's no surprise all the problems I am having right now. I am about 99.9% sure I have an infection in my right eye.... so I get to go to the eye doctor tomorrow. Lucky me!
Last night, we grilled out steaks and veggies and watched the THUNDER!! Mitch has always been a huge Thunder fan and he goes crazy, literally crazy, during the games! He has been to multiple games and loves them. My parents actually got him tickets to the game in Tulsa this fall and we are super excited!! They also got him this shirt and I love it. It is a vintage style thunder shirt and I want one so bad! I went to buy one this weekend and they were out, so my mom is going back this week to try and get me one. They are so cute and super soft!
He HAS to wear his jersey during every game! I think he even may have slept in it last night. Ha!
Bella and I ready to THUNDER UP!!
That's all thats going on here. I hope I didn't bore you to death, I know that wasn't a very exciting post! Hope y'all had a great weekend and are enjoying the week!!
