Join our run!!

The Saga Continues...

So, it's almost become comical. We thought we were so close in getting our new home only to be held back again by their lender. They reported that it will take another 7 to 14 days and told us to stop asking for status checks. It's just funny how a lender like WaMu even stays in business these days. I realize that they are in a heap of trouble with the market; but it's a wonder they haven't sunk further with their "speedy" service. If anyone has equity in their firm, I'd suggest to dump it, even at the already low price. Considering first hand how slow they are, I'd be amazed if they turned their business around in the this decade.....

Sorry had to rant!!

Ryan

Congratulations Ryan on your new job! Nam and I are both really excited for you and can't wait to see how things go. We hope it's everything you wanted it to be!

For anyone who hasn't heard yet, Ryan got a job offer from the St. Louis County Sheriff's department, a job he's been hoping for since he graduated from the Law Enforcement program at Fon-du-Lac. Way to go!

Lightening Up for Spring!

Just giving the ol' blog a face lift...

More on the House Situation

Just a quick update for those of you eager to hear about the struggle we've had trying to purchase our first home. We heard from the sellers bank last week. After a quick back and forth set of counteroffers, the bank was going to send our counteroffer to committee. We believe that this is just a safety mechanism so the asset manager doesn't sell a house for $2. So, we're again waiting to get a final approval from the bank.

Everyone cross your fingers!

(...and toes!)
