Happy Anniversary!

Boy did I scare John yesterday morning! I woke him up by saying "Happy Anniversary".
He bolted up in bed and said "Oh no!" (our wedding anniversary is October 12th and for some unknown reason he remembers it as September 12th so he thought he had missed it!). I quickly calmed his fears and reminded him that it was our "6" month anniversary for our dossier being logged in, in China.
Visably calmed, he layed back down for a couple more minutes of snooze time and I got ready for work :).
But yes, it's been 6 whole months since our dossier left and was logged in to China. Rumours on the web say that the CCAA may be reviewing March dossiers as we speak, and they have completed December 2005. Only place to go from there is 2006, Hip Hip Hooray!!
I wish Happy Anniversary as well to all my friends on the Marching Panda Yahoo group, as day by day we all are reaching that 6 month landmark!!
We are still at least 6-8 months away from receiving our referral for Renee, but, inevitably time is moving forward, however slow it feels, it still moves along.
On Renee's room:
John has completed painting, and I think we've picked out the carpet color.
I'll post later with photo's and the details!
Till then... Happy Saturday!

We've Started Working on Renee's Room!

The rumors on the web have been depressing me (increasing wait times till referral), so I said to John that what I thought would cheer me up, would be to start on Renee's room. Well...this weekend we started by clearing out all the office furniture and bringing it down to the new office in our finished basement. The house looked like a bomb went off, with books, journals, papers, furniture all over as it was all brought down stairs. Now I have to organize the office, I'll get that done, soon...
So, I took a couple of pics of the "before" of Renee's room so you can see where we began. We have lot's of work to do. John started by taking down shelving and spackling. I'm actually leaning on Renee's bedroom furniture!!
Oh, we chose the paint color for Renee's room, it's so beautiful. It's called "Cascading Water". No it's not blue but a very pale green. When I placed the bedding set on top, the pink just "popped". Trust me this room will be gorgeous when we are all done!!!!
Well, I'm sitting on the floor of this room cause that's where the computer is right now. I've gotten the PCI card so we can move the computer downstairs and still be connected to the internet. Just have to install it. Ugh. Will get that done too!
15 more days till our 6 month LID anniversary!! Woweeeee!!
