Well our first trip to visit our new home city is just around the corner! I can hardly wait. We were able to priceline an amazing deal at the Plaza. Go us! Go Priceline.com! we arent expecting much. We'll probably just hang around, visit a few areas, see some sites. Nothing to hard core. I am hoping to get in touch with a rental company of sorts to try and help us in our property search, but I'll get to that in a minute!
We did find out our move date was moved up a week. Not a big deal. Hopefully it will be lucky! I honestly dont know what to expect. I have read all the city-data forums and others on Memphis. It seems to be very middle of the road...some good...some bad. Just depends on who you talk to. I am going in with an open mind and open heart and hoping for the best.
So far, finding a rental company to help me out has been tough. I am hoping to find one that deals with several properties. I seem to find several that have just a few listings at a time. so far no one has responded to my emails. I am not quite at the talking on the phone point. I will just jot down some of the office addresses and possibly swing by while in town.
Anyways, next time you hear from me, i'll be either there or just back! I'll have pics and stories about our first trip to Memphis!! To get us ready, we bought an Elvis CD today!

The First..
Here we are. We have settled into Oklahoma City. It's been a long hard road getting here. Never the less we are here. If you dont know me, I am sure you are wondering why this blog is Walking In Memphis, yet I am in Oklahoma City!!! It's pretty simple really. We are just here for a few months for my husband to do some training. We'll be in Memphis before Thanksgiving.
We've been here for a few months. It's been woderful. I amclose to my family, whom I have missed so much. I have been away from them so long and it seems I am almost home. I miss Texas and miss my home town of Fort Worth. Will I ever live there again? Who's to say? Who's to say that all we have been looking for is in Memphis? I have no idea. Any ideas I ever have seem to be proved wrong! I now realize that the even the future does not know which way it will twist and turn.
Our first trip to Memphis to scope out the area is in just one month! I can hardly wait. Shawn and I will be staying at the Plaza and enjoying a nice trip away together. I am not sure what we'll do other than visiting the area. I am sure we'll hit up Beale St at some point. I know we'll do alot of driving around. I want to check out midtown (where I anticipate to hang my hat), we'll also go through surrounding areas like Germantown, Collierville and possibly Olive Branch, MS. We wont focus too much on finding a place to live, it's a bit too soon.
So here we go. Each day is closer to our move. Closer to being able to settle down. the next few weeks calls for going through boxes again to weed out anything I can do without. School for the kids starts soon. It's exhuasting at times and I am sure will go by fast!
