So long Conway, Hello OKCity

So much has gone on I haven't had time to think about posting on my blog. I am reminded daily, by my sister of course, that it's time for me to blog. To save you from a long blog and run on sentences (I'm a horrible writer) I'm going to use the bullet system.

  • At the beginning of June we finished our kitchen with cabinet doors. As we were putting the last one up I told Joe "you know that since we're finishing up with these we'll be ask to move. Sure enough 3 days later we were told of a new position in OK
  • Joe and I moved my parents out of their house and into an apartment
  • On fathers day liz crawled for the first time
  • 2 weeks later Liz and I made a trip out to Utah to see family. She really started crawling there.
  • While we were in Utah, the first week of July, Joe got promoted. Which meant moving to OKCity.
  • 2 weeks later I left Liz for the first time overnight and flew to OK to find a house.
  • Got back to Arkansas and got the finishing touches done to the house to sell.
  • Met with the realtor and got a sign put in our yard.
  • Sunday afternoon Joe left to start his job in OKCity, which made for a very long 3 weeks.......
  • Our house was posted on-line on Tuesday. Same day, had the realtor walkthrough and 2 house showings.
  • The next day, Wednesday, we had an offer that we countered
  • On Thursday we got the call that our house had sold and we had to be out in 3 1/2 weeks.
  • 3 weeks later packed the house and truck, I said goodbye to my home for 22 years and headed off to a new adventure
  • We couldn't get into our house in OK right away so we lived in a hotel for 1 very long week.
  • Moved into our house in Edmond on August 27th and we couldn't be happier
  • Liz turned 1 on Sept 9! can you believe its been a year already? (post later to come on the birthday girl)
So there you go. That was our eventful summer that went by so fast but yet felt like an eternity. We absolutely love being here in OK and love our new house.

When I find time I've got to post pictures of our before and after pictures of our house in Conway and then of course our pictures of our new home here in OK.

What a flurry! Amazing how everything worked out for you in such a short time! I have a question though--- since it's been such a long time since we chatted. What on earth does Joe do? Why such short notice for such a big move? Sounds military :)
