Well Matthew has been here now for about 3 and 1/2 weeks and I am so happy to have him here every day and to be with him, love married life and being with my husband. Things are going very well and we are doing great here in Toronto. I can not say the same however for the househunting situation that we have been going through. Six houses bid on now, 2 failed home inspections and no wins what so ever, so we are on a break from looking and just concentrating on other things. I can not believe the market here at the moment, what we were lead to believe at what is actual are 2 totally different things, yes there are many houses on the market, and yes they are priced well, but they are all selling with an offer date which allows for multiple offers and makes the price go up and up which is just not realistic for us at all.
The 2 of us living in a bachelor apartment is not too much fun, if one us gets up the other one really does not have a choice to get the hell out of bed considering the bedroom is in the living room and the hole apartment is basically one giant room. A little tight for Matt and I and the 4 kids. Also a huge lack of storage for the both of us, which we are slowly figuring out.
Work is going great and I am loving What Are You Looking At Bar and working with my fabulous staff and the super owner that is just so nice. I have waited all my life for the respect and love I am given through this job. The customers for the most part are lovely and it is just an amazing place. I am actually learning more at this job and even now doing up posters and advertising for the bar. It is so much fun, I even learned how to do a website and more. The bar is located on Queen Street East and we have a lot of fun at work. If you are in Toronto and in the area, come and check us out.
Matt and I are going to Alberta for 5 days for Christmas and looking quite forward to it. I haven't been home for Christmas in 12 years. We are having dinner at Cheryls house and I guess all her kids and grand kids will be there as well. Hope the holidays will be great. Well that is all I have for you all today. Be back with more later this week.

Here for Good
Matthew got here 10 days ago and is now here for good or until we get a signed offer on the house in Vancouver and I am so glad that he is now here with me and the kids. Makes life so much more enjoyable. He got here on the Friday before last and it was just so amazing to see him after a long 7 weeks apart. He came into the bar and saw me and met a lot of my regular customers and the owner and some of the staff at the bar, think he really liked it there.
Anyhow when he got here we had put a bid in on a house and then had the home inspection on it, unfortunately after the home inspection the seller would not budge on the price at all and we had to walk away from that deal. It was a cute little house and a great location, but unfortunately just not meant to be ours and we had to move on to the next one. We found a better house the next day and it is gorgeous and now we are going through the back and forth on that one. We will know in the next week I guess if we get it. I really love this house and so does Matt and I think it is the one.
As for my health I am feeling a bit better now that Matthew is here, I have a specialists appointment this week and that should be it for a while. I am just anxious to get it all over with and hope I don't have to do this again for a while. Also hoping they just find something simple and can treat it right away and that would just be nice. I will try to keep you all up to date. Sorry I have been not been here and writing too much as of lately , but I have been so busy with work and everything else and then not feeling well, it just been extremely busy.
As for work it is going great and I am loving it thus far and my boss and the staff are great thus far and so are the customers. I am working my ass off to get this place up and running and busier. I think so far it going well and I am succeeding and everyone is pleased thus far, especially me.
The kids are all doing great and Matthew and I are planning our trip to Alberta for the holidays to see Mom and Dad and the family. I haven't been home for Christmas in over 10 years and am looking forward to it every way.
Anyhow I am relaxed now and have a really bad cold and have today off to relax and try to get better. Matthew is here for good now and I am just so happy bout that and can't wait till we get a house and moved and everything in Vancouver is settled. Enough for now, time to go back to bed and relax and get over my flu. Have a great day and I shall try to write more often.
