we started out with a workout at kettlebells with laura. it was travis's first time back in a few weeks. i almost backed out, but we made it in time for class. it was intense. i came the closest i have ever come to blacking out. it was toward the end of class, and i was spent. my back was pulling weird, so i stopped to ask laura if i was doing something wrong. as she was explaining the technique to me, i could no longer hear her. i immediately sat down on the ground, closed my eyes, and focused on breathing. slowly, sound started coming back. she and travis got me some water, but my hands were shaking pretty badly and i really didn't feel like drinking. my ears still felt weird, but i was able to get up and around. class was pretty much over at that point, so travis had me walk around outside in the cool air for a bit.
we've been looking at land {have i mentioned we hate our HOA}, and there were three different listings travis had found. the first one was pretty close to where we were in broken arrow. the idea is for us to get closer to bartlesville, but the price of the land was such a good deal, we considered purchasing it anyway ... until we drove by it. it was at the back of a little bit older, run down neighborhood, and while most of it was wooded, it had been trashed out pretty badly. it also had huge electrical line towers running through it. it just wasn't pretty.
next up was a piece of land in collinsville with about 12 acres. our ideal location would be owasso/collinsville because it would cut our commute in half, get us out of town, but keep us in a location convenient to the amenities a local town offers. it would also keep us close to tulsa and give us easy access to highways back to our families.
unfortunately the 12 acres in collinsville were also not pretty. it was a very narrow lot and was sandwiched between two dilapidated properties.
our last stop was the land in sperry my aunt and uncle texted me about a week and a half ago. travis had driven by it on his way home from work over the christmas break while i was out of the office, and he thought it was really pretty. he pulled it up on google earth to show me that night, and i fell in love with it, too. it was gorgeous! ... but we suspect it's much larger than 19 acres so we have to find out where it actually divides.
after that, we headed back into tulsa. we recently got a new television and we need a new entertainment center to hold it. travis is also getting some speakers from his buddy chris, so we really need something that will house all of it.
we were still in our workout clothes, and may have gotten a few strange looks as we browsed through mathis brothers and rooms today. nothing turned up, so we headed back home to shop online. travis really wants a corner console because of how our living room is set up. this one from ballard design is one of my favorites ... but a little more than we would like to spend if we can help it. i don't want to buy a lot of furniture tailored to our current home if we're planning to move sooner than later.
where do you go to find fun pieces of furniture for your home?
