Oklahoma

No joke after going to OKC I'm like are we really moving there?  That may seem a little strange but it is so different!  You can't see one mountain and everything looks the same everywhere basically.  I mean they have rolling hill but nothing like the hills in Washington.  It will take some getting used to.  Even in AZ they have mountains you can see in the distance.  It will also take a while to get used to shopping there.  No Costco, no Fry's, Albertson's or Safeway.  They have some other groceries stores but I don't know the names.  I will for sure get used to shopping at Walmart again, that is where everyone shops. 

Now about our weekend.  I want to give a big shout out to the Kinards for letting us stay at their house so that we could cut down on cost!  We looked at about 15 houses after our relator who was awesome by the way helped narrow down our search due to builders who are terrible and areas that are too far from Zach's work.  We wanted to be close to work but also in a better area of school.  Which meant that we were either in Moore or Edmond, but Edmond is a pretty far drive.  We know there are other pockets of good schools but when you haven't lived someone we just have to trust what people say.  We had about 4 that we really like.  Our favorite was really high priced and our relator said the guys put a lot of work into his house and he wanted to get everything back he put into it.  Well our relator said that it wouldn't get appraised at what he wanted to sell it for.  There was another house that was in the same situation and so we kinda ended on this house.  Our relator's fiances Mother died and they had a funeral on Saturday so we ended up having to look at houses on Sunday.  We did some tornado clean up in the morning and then went and looked at houses.  After 10 pm we went to his office and we narrowed down our search, put an offer in and they accepted it at 10pm that night.  It was pretty crazy!  The only thing major that I don't like about this house is the paint!  Everyone keeps telling me that paint is the easiest to fix, so it will all work out.  I haven't done a lot of painting in my day and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed but I know we can do it.  I will just have to spend a month on Pinterest and look around at other houses to get ideas.  All in time it will look great!
