My excitement yesterday over the bathroom was short lived. The person helping Bill with the bathroom cannot come until June 17th. However, we did go to Home Depot last night and pick up the surround and the tub. It is sitting in the garage right now. I guess we are just one step closer to getting the project done.
My next decision is whether or not to replace the sink. I am going to try and get some pictures up tonight and see if what you guys think. We have a fairly small bathroom, and it would open up some more space.

You know your life is boring when you are excited about getting new garbage cans. Our village just contracted with a new company for our garbage pickup and part of the deal was that they are supplying us with new recycle cans and new garbage cans. They dropped them off this last Saturday. The garbage one is about 96 gallons, and I think the recycle cans are 60 gallons. They are pretty big, but they are on wheels.
Garbage day was yesterday (due to the holiday), so Madison and I watched out the window as the picked up the trash. It was kinda cool. They just hooked the cans up the doohickey (I know, real technical term there!) on the side of the truck. The truck then dumped the can. Madison was fascinated by it. I think I was too. LOL

The bathroom surround finally came in!!!! Now, Bill has to talk to his friend Tony about when he can come over and help us demo the bathroom. I am so excited. I want to go tonight and pick it up!!! This also means I get my new tub! Bill picked out a whirlpool tub. I am hoping we can get this in before I have the baby, so I can enjoy it. I constantly have a backache. This should do wonders for that! I never thought I would ever be excited about my bathroom, but I am!

This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Kathy
Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie
41 years old from Ann-Arbor, Michigan
Specialist Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie is a Iraqi American U.S. Army linguist soldier, from Ann-Arbor, Michigan who was kidnapped on October 23, 2006 in Baghdad and has not been seen since.
al-Taayie joined the Army in 2004 to help not only his country, the United States, but also his birthplace of Iraq and was deployed in 2005. On October 23, 2006 he was visiting his wife in the Karrada Shiite neighborhood in central Baghdad when he and his cousin were kidnapped by a group calling themselves Ahel al-Beit Brigades. His cousin was released shortly after. On November 2, 2006 al-Taayie’s uncle received a ransom demand of $250,000 for his return. Along with the ransom came a grainy video that showed a man beaten up who was identified as al-Taayie. No more has been heard from al-Taayie or his captures.

Bill and I are going to see a movie this weekend even if it kills us. We have 2 gift certificates for the theater, and I think we need to use them soon. Any thoughts on what we should go see? I personally am thinking Pirates of the Carribean. Or should we be good parents and take Madison to Shrek 3?
