So now we just wait!
Hubby finished the second coat of paint on the bedroom walls last night. We went with a Montana Tan. My verdict is still out on it, to be honest. In the day I like it, it looks more tan, but at nighttime...hmmmmm.. it has a more "greeny" tone to it that I am not 100% sure I like. For some reason, it makes me think of what you find in a baby's diaper after you give it peas for the first time! Hubby, on the other hand, absolutely loves it (like it is about him?). I guess the true test will be when we get the draperies hung and the new bed, bedding, headboard and accessories in there. I'm not one of those "designer/has to all coordinate" kinda of chickies, so this will be a totally NEW experience for me. At this point, all I want is my bed LOL! Couldn't care LESS what it looks like, just want to NOT be sleeping on the boxspring and mattress that is on the floor. Hopefully, when hubby calls the store at lunch time, the guy says YES IT IS HERE IN THE WAREHOUSE!! Delivery is included when you buy it, but screw that since they won't be able to get it out till the first of week, hubby will be picking that sucker up! All we have left to do is make the headboard. Hubby brought an old flat panel door home from a job and we bought foam and fabric and are going to cover it and make ourselves a fancy-schmancy headboard. (I think we watch WAY to many of those room makeover shows on TV). I can't wait!

Highlite of last week - January 11, 2009
About a week before New Years, I was contacted by a gentleman that is a descendant of my great-great grandmother's sister. He came across a posting of mine to a Surname Registry on the Genealogical Society's page where my great-great grandmother's family settled after coming to Canada from Scotland in 1874. He was only to happy to share information on his part in our Reid tree, and if that wasn't enough, he shared this wonderful photo. It TRULY was the highlite of my week as I had never before seen a photo of my great-great grandparents, Michael and Agnes, who are picture on the far right of the photo. Add to that that two of Agnes's sisters are also pictured as well as her father, my great-great-great grandfather, and you would swear it was Christmas morning and I was seven again!
