Nate and I spent the last couple of days in Bentonville looking for a place to live. It's getting close now. Brayden's requests went like this: 1) A house with a pool; 2) A house in a neighborhood with a pool; 3) my own bedroom. Wish #1 came true - we found a great house with a pool in the backyard. The boys are SO excited. I'm trying to figure out how this thing works, so scroll to the bottom for pictures. . .
Our new address is 3402 SW Town Vu Road, Bentonville, AR 71721! And aside from the pool, the rest of the good news is that it is 2.5 miles from work - it takes 7 minutes to get there. I can't even imagine what this is going to be like.
Even better news is that Nate got a call this morning and has two interviews on Tuesday for assistant principal positions. So the whole fam-damily is going to Bentonville this Sunday. I start work on Monday, mom needs to find a bank and doctor, and Nate has is big interviews. I hope they get the pool opened by then or we may have anarchy on our hands with the boys. . .
So we were busy during our two days in Bentonville. We found a house, registered Brayden for Kindergarten and found a preschool for Beau.
We're not in Kansas anymore
On Monday, we finished with the realtor and had 2 1/2 hours before meeting Jennifer Bedwell (Price) and Rhett and Price for dinner. This is where KC detox comes in. We pull out of the realtor's office, and I say something to the effect of, "We have 2 1/2 hours and we have to do x, y and z. We need to get moving!"
Now if you live in KC and have three things to do before getting to dinner ACROSS TOWN at 7 and it's 4:30, you've got to snap to it. I was working on KC time. At that exact moment, I realized that we weren't in Kansas anymore (imagine red ruby slippers clicking here). Not only did we have plenty of time to do what was on our list, I also managed to hit Bath & Body Works and get a bag 'o stuff for $20 (the sale lasts thru Friday, fyi) and stroll through this great shopping area called the Prommenade.
So that is the story of where things stand right now. I still have to call the movers and set a date for them to come, but in the meantime, we'll take a few things down this weekend and keep on packing. Ugh.
