The Walkers: Adventures in OK

We set out for Oklahoma on July 31st and I haven’t had a real bed to call my own since leaving Nashville! You might say I was displaced. We decided to leave all of our furniture and most of our personal belongings in Nashville. It’s part of the “staging” process for selling our condo.

Over the past month and a half, we have eaten every meal out, borrowed our friend’s and family’s washer/dryer to do our laundry, and spent more than a few nights at the Waterford Hotel, a couple weeks with my friend, Amanda, and now, we are in our rent house. Last night, was our first night with the bed and mattress that we ordered on August 30th.

Remember how I said we were trying to look at this as an adventure?!?! Well, our lives have been overflowing with adventure!

Top Ten Reasons Oklahoma Has Been An Adventure:

10. We’ve taken trips to Abilene and Tennessee- driving!
9. I have a new haircut that Jeremy calls “different.”
8. I’m on a first name basis with the employees at the Waterford Hotel and most of the furniture sales people in the city.
7. We looked at 50+ houses that were for sale . . . we’re renting.
6. I almost filed a missing persons report with the police.
5. I started my new job!
4. I caught Ivy tangled up in my nude bra and running around Amanda’s house.
3. Jeremy made it through his first month-end close! Yay!
2. I was pulled over by the highway patrol in Texas and in Arkansas—thankfully, no tickets!
1. I spent 22 nights on an air mattress! And that is more than one night too many!

I’m not sure I buy into all this “staging” hype and I’m not sure how much longer I can take the lack of furniture and other belongings. Naturally, I have no recipes or food pictures to post, as I have limited kitchen utensils and cook/ bake ware. But I will keep you updated on the adventures . . .
