Cleaning out the closet
Its been a while since I updated this, so this post may be longer than usual.Â
First, Faith and I went to watch the Diamondbacks in the NLCS Game 2 against the Colorado Rockies. It was a great game, meaning that every inning had the potential of swinging the game one way or the other. The DBacks were down 2-1 until the 9th inning until they tied it up at 2-2. The game finished with the Rockies winning 3-2 in the 11th inning. Simply put, the DBacks blew it. Valverde had control issues and loaded the bases. Then walked in the winning run.
As you may know, the Rockies won the series 4 games to 0 and went on to lose to the Boston Red Sox in the World Series 4 games to 0. The irony of it all is that the DBacks played the Rockies the last series of the regular season. AZ needed to win 1 game to clinch the NL West. The Rockies needed to win 2 and other teams needed to win/lose for the Rockies to make it to the playoffs. AZ won a game, then basically let the Rockies win the other 2. The other teams won/lost to where San Diego and CO had to play eachother and the winner goes into the playoffs. Of course, the Rockies won, and then came back and beat the tar out of AZ. Goes to show, every game matters.
We took Erin and Trisen to the AZ State Fair. Dad and Pat also went, so we would meet up with them, then seperate, then meet up. We all had a great time and both Erin and Tristen won a prize playing a game. Tristen got a little bored with the kiddie rides and so he went on an adult ride by himself, and a couple of the bigger kids rides. Erin went with Tristen on the bigger kids rides. She looked nervous on the ride but as soon as she got off, she wanted to go again. She wanted to go on the giant ferris wheel, but we didn’t. I want to wait another year or two to take her on that.Â

House update. The last couple weeks alot of work has been done. The trenches for the stem wall were dug, forms made, and the stem wall was poured. The stem wall is what supports the outter walls, and keeps the foundation stable. The plumber is currently getting the under-foundation pipe work done. We are hoping to have the foundation poured next week and after that walls will start to go up.
That is about it for now. I will try and post more stuff more often. In case you didn’t know, clicking the pictures will take you to the Flickr page and you could see more pictures. Also, you could comment on a post or picture if you want to. Just a reminder, since there isn’t too many comments, I wanted to make sure you know that.
God bless to all.
