We're here!

Hey y'all! I know it has been awhile, but we are here in Tulsa!! It feels so good to be back. Sorry I have been slacking on blogging, but I am hoping to get back on track. We were really busy last weekend and then trying to get moved the past two days has been hectic, but here is a little about what we've been up to!

Well, as I mentioned last week, we were staying at Mitch's grandparents house in downtown Bentonville which was a lot of fun. Although trying to pack for three different places is not. I felt like when I initially started backing up our house I was doing a fairly good job of packing the stuff I would need for that 10 days at his grandparents and then what I would need for a month at my parents, then put everything else up in boxes that I wouldn't need until we move into our house. Well I soon figured out I didn't do a very good job. I felt like all last week, I was constantly hunting for something and could never find it. I am doing a little better now that we are moved into my parents, but still feel kind lost.

I did end up packing my running shoes and I wasn't about to go a few weeks without any workout shoes, so I went to Academy at the beginning of last week and got some just to get me through. They didn't have the ones I get made for my feet, so I knew they would not be as comfortable. I have lots of feet issues (thats a whole other story in itself), so I knew anything I bought wasn't going to be the best for my feet, so I went more for style ha :) I ended up with these and love them!

They were even on sale and I probably couldn't run long distance in them, but they got me through a week and I can just use them as everyday tennis shoes now.

Last weekend was our last weekend living in Bentonville, so we did some of our favorite things. We spend a few days at the pool and Friday we went on a date. We went to Crystal Bridges to see the Declaration of Independence, which was awesome!

If your in the area go see it while it is still there. It is such an cool thing to say I have seen. Then we headed to the movies. We went and saw The Dark Knight Rises and it was incredible! I am not into movies like that at all, so honestly I wasn't really looking forward to it. Mitch had a gift certificate and has been talking about this movie forever, so I figured I would go with him and by not seeing any of the other bat mans, I didn't feel lost at all. The movie kept my attention and we highly recommend it!

Saturday I went with Michelle and some of her friends to eat breakfast upon the square at The Station Cafe. It is one of Mitch and I's favorite places! Their breakfast is so good!! The farmers market was going on but it was 10x more crowded than normal. We soon figured out it was Wal-Marts 50 birthday so there was lots more stuff going on. We walked around, got free watermelon and listened to a concert by Kris Allen! They also had two speakers, Kirk Herbstreit from ESPN and Mark Zuckerberg.

The rest of my Saturday was spent at the pool and then that night we had a baby shower for one of our friends. She is having twins, a boy and a girl!

The desserts turned out so cute! 

Sunday we went to church and out to lunch at Freds. You can't beat their Sunday brunch! It is delicious!! Then we packed up and headed to Tulsa! It felt so weird making that drive and knowing we weren't going to make it back in a few days. It was a little sad to leave Bentonville, I know we will miss certain things from it, but Tulsa is no doubt where we are called to be right now. It has better job opportunities for both of us and its so nice to be back where all our close friends are!

Mitch started his job yesterday and he is just sitting through orientation classes for the next week. I will update more on that when he actually gets on the floor. Natalie came over and helped me unpack and then we made a little shopping trip. I save up my money all year to go shopping before our vacations, and since it is right around the corner I ended up buying some new clothes! There is this little store in downtown Jenks and it may be my favorite store! They have the cutest clothes! I am actually going back today because they got a new shipment in this morning :)

These next few days I am going to be doing some stuff for my new job and hopefully continue to get all unpacked. I am going to try and not abandon my blog again for so long. Hope y'all have a wonderful week!
