The House

So our closing date is slowing approaching and it seems like I have literally had to provide a whole ream of paper worth of information for us, bank accounts, check stubs, copies of check payments all of that good stuff. The my realtor calls me today at work and says I need to call the lender b/c there is something missing from our paperwork needed to finish the loan papers. I'm thinking GREAT! What now?? DNA, Fingerprints??? Ended up being nothing major. However my realtor also gave me the great news that should something hold us up past the closing date set in the contract of the 30th the buyers agent is not extending our contract b/c they have got another contract for the property @ more than ours is for!!! I am none to happy about this!! At this point we have been out $250.00 for a title search thing and if the contract falls through that's $250 down the drain for information on property that would never be ours!!!
UGH!!! I feel like a stalker calling or emailing our lender daily to see if there is any progress but I am starting to stress out!! Including today there is 12 days TWELVE DAYS left until we MUST close!! Less than 2 weeks!!! I have all of our utilities in place and have only the homeowners insurance to get lined up (which I'm hoping to have taken care of in the next couple of days!) Oh, and the small matter of the refrigerator needed (b/c the house isn't coming with one ~ but we have a plan in place to get one!

Not to worry though, I know if it was meant to be it will be, and if not then maybe this wasn't the home we are meant to move to, to raise the kids in and to grow old in. If something happens and it falls through then we will start looking again, or just stay here in our little bitty house for a while longer. But gosh I hope and pray everything works out and we get everything taken care of in time!!

Keep us in your thoughts that we get this!!

Lots of love! ~ The Roach's

Last game of the season

Tonight was our final game of the season, we played the Fruitvale Sandlot Stars. And we beat them 11-8!! Sarah and Megan are the only two returning players from last year, well the only two on the team that have played ball on a team before, most of all of the girls had been working on the basics at home prior to the season starting. The season started out slow for us, lots of losing games and the girls going home sad because we didn't win. We played the opening tournament for the summer, the Mikie Furrh Memoria weekend tournament and ended up with a participation medal. The turning point for us was the Fruitvale tournament where we ended up with........2nd place I believe it was (I would have to go and look at the trophy to make sure :p ). From then on the girls started having more confidence and our games got to were we were ending the game with the scores being closer!! I am so proud of this group of girls, the Sweet Peas will definitely be a group of girls to watch next year in T-Ball as I think only Sarah & Megan are moving up to Coach Pitch. That's another story all together, Coach Pitch, we are not sure if Sarah is going to like the idea of having someone throw a ball at her to hit so we will be working on it between the end of this season and the start of next season.

The final season tournament is this weekend in the Desert.....aka Edgewood! We play "sometime" Friday around 6pm or later, edgewoodbaseball.net is supposed to show when we play but I'm not seeing it so I guess I'll wait for Jada to call me :(

Updates on us!

Gosh, I didn't realize it had been such a long time since I had posted anything!! Bad Bad ME!!!
Let's see, I'll start with the most current stuff and work my way backwards to see how far we get!!
As of right now we are set to close on our house by the 30th of this month!! We were informed today that we would need to have all of the utilities arranged to be turned on by the time of closing or they would most likely delay the closing! I'm kinda upset b/c we aren't going to be able to keep DSL at our new address, we must go back to dial up!!!! I keep telling myself it's not that big of a deal, but we'll see!!

Sarah had a game tonight and we played hooky, it was against one of the Van teams and I know this is going to sound HORRIBLE, but with or without her there they would probably turn out the same way. (My luck they probably kicked rear and won tonight!!)

I've decided that I want a new job. I'm one of the only few remaining original crew left at the restaurant and over the last few weeks/month tops it has got to where it's not fun anymore. It lost it's fun before our original "General Manager" got fired and the new manager is super nice, I'm just not feeling the desire to go to work each day anymore! SOOOOOO if you know of anyone hiring, shoot me a message!! I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE something to do from home!!!

Tonight I watched a webcast of my cousin Tommy Joe Wilson (myspace.com/tommyjoewilson) he's opening the end of this month for the Stone Temple Pilots @ Nokia Theatre & various places and Billy Ray Cyrus @ the Sam Houston Race Park. Plus his CD should be out sometime this summer!! Isn't that cool??

Okay, yesterday backing up thru Monday ~ Worked 11-5, then home for a while, took Tom dinner b/c he's on a lovely shift from 3pm until 1am right now & this coming week! We hate this shift!!! Feed the kids and off to bed.

Sunday ~ Forgot about a meeting at work, resulting in being wrote up on Monday b/c I didn't come in. I was lucky to be awake and functioning Sunday, we didn't get home from the street dance until about 3am (we were a food vendor, not dancing! LOL)

Saturday ~ We went to the Salt Festival, took home 2 - 1st place ribbons in the Turtle Race, Sarah dunked Rodney w/ the help of Justin Collins. I got a super cool sign for $10 made of barn wood and barbed wire. (I'll get some pictures posted soon). Sarah went home with Christie around lunch and Josh with Nana leaving me to help my father-in-law with the concession trailer until about 3pm when Tom stopped by to pick me up to rescue mom and to get cleaned up for that night.
