Moving out/last week in B'ville!

Hi y'all!!! Yes I know it has been forever since I have blogged. We have had so much going on this past week/weekend I haven't even been able to think about it. Plus we don't have internet anymore. So I have to go somewhere to blog, and quite frankly that is the last thing on my mind right now! But today, Mitch was off work and he had to come over to his parents to get a couple hours of studying in, and since the only 2 channels we get at the house we are staying at are getting very old, I figured I would come join him today and blog! I am getting real tired of Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown. I don't know if I can watch another episode! So here's a little about what's going on with us!

We moved out of our house Thursday night and Friday morning. We technically didn't have to be out until around 12 on Friday, but with everything we had going on we tried to have almost everything packed up and in the U-Haul Thursday night. Thanks so much to Caleb, we would have never come close to doing that. We stayed up really late thursday trying to get it loaded, I had to go to work for about 3 hours Friday morning, but Mitch got up at 6am and finished loading. They were completely done by the time I got home around 11:30.

Our house all empty!

It was so crazy to see it like that. I couldn't believe it has been 3 years since we purchased the house and have done so much work on it. As sad as it was so see and leave like that, we have so many new and exciting things to come, and we are so blessed to have sold it so quick!

Our last picture as a family in our house! 

So Friday at 2:00, Mitch and I closed on the house and drove the U-Haul to Tulsa. We have a storage unit in Jenks and we unloaded everything in it and some into my parents garage. It was a long and tiring day, but when all that was finished, it was like we could just sit back and relax. Mitch only has 2 more days of work and I am finished with work, so it has been so nice to literally do nothing! 

After we unloaded the u-haul in Tulsa, we went to my parents house to swim and have dinner, then headed back to Bentonville that night. It was hard to believe that was the last time we were going to be in Tulsa just visiting. Next time we will be Tulsa residents!! Yay!

So Saturday, Mitch worked all day and I did nothing but organize the house a little and lay on the couch. Ha! We are only staying in the house for a total of 10 days, so we didn't want to completely unpack, but we did have to get some things organized so we could function. We are really lucky, Mitch's grandparents have a house right in downtown, just off the square and they have completely remodeled it and they stay there when they come into town to visit. They also let lots of our friends/family stay in it whenever someone needs a place to stay. 

Our house through next Sunday! So cute!

I just love being right off the square! It is so fun and since Bella and I are always up there anyway, now we can just walk out the front door and be there! Its so fun. Yesterday we walked to the square and then to the CB trails.

Sunday Mitch was on call and he got called in from 11-2 so that wasn't so bad. I was so thankful he was able to sleep in some, because I have never seen him so tired. I think we are both just now catching up on all our lost sleep and with how busy we have been. Sunday night, Mitch's parents had us over along with some other friends for a big cookout. They made steaks and green bean casserole... my favorite! It was so nice to have a home cooked meal. With all of our moving stuff, I haven't cooked in about 3 weeks. And Mitch's mom made homemade strawberry ice cream. Yum!

Monday Mitch worked, and Bella and I spent a lot of time outside, CB trails and the dog park. 

Last time we went to the dog park, she laid under this the whole time and wouldn't leave the shade. It has just gotten way to hot!

Last night was the first night I was able to cook and so I made something I found off pinterest and it was.. okay. I do have to admit, we didn't have the correct pan or any measuring cups, so I think that may have been some of the problem. It was honey garlic pork chops, which sounded amazing, but I think I overdid it on the honey. Hopefully next time I will have my measuring cups back :)

Tonight after Mitch gets done studying, we are going to take Bella to the dog park and go eat at one of our favorite places up on the square, Flying Fish! I told Mitch before we move, even though we won't really be that far away, we need to eat at our favorite places, so flying fish along with Freds and Copelands are on the list. We had Marketplace last weekend and Flying Fish tonight- so that takes care of two! I think even though we can come back and eat at those anytime we want- just doing it for the last time as Bentonville residents will be fun.

The rest of the week we are... yes you guessed it.. doing nothing ha! Mitch's parents neighbors have a pool and offered for us to come use it all week while they are on vacation, so we might utilize that a few times. Also Friday, Mitch and I are having a date night (well I guess date day ha). We are going to lunch, crystal bridges (yes again.. they have a copy of the Declaration of Independence and I really want to see it) and then to see the new batman movie. So that should be fun.. I am really looking forward to it! 

I most likely won't blog much here in the next week since we don't have internet access and this weekend Will and Michelle will be here, so if I don't get around to it- my next post will be coming from Oklahoma! Have a great week!
