Hello, I know it has been a long time since I have written a thing in here and I apologize for that, so let me catch you all up on the gaybors and our lives for the last few months and what has been going on with our lives and what we have been up to.
Well from our anniversary, which was July 6th until September I was actually quite sick and back and forth to hospitals and specialists and the doctor and it was quite scary for both Matt and I. I was having troubles with chest pain and shortness of breath and coughing so much stuff up, they thought at the time I had lung cancer and I ended up going for a biopsy on my lungs which was quite painful and a day surgery. I guess when I got home I was quite out of it still and a little funny with actions and what I was doing and saying, or so I was told, the whole day was a blank to me.
I also was told at that time I may have had a couple other cancers that they wanted to check for, I have put all the other tests on hold right at the moment, because sometimes not knowing is the best thing and a little less stressful. I do have to go back to the lung cancer specialist every three months for a check up and breathing tests as there are some dark spots on my lungs and I am still being treated for the Horners syndrome and chronic headaches. Anyhow that was most of our summer in a nutshell.
As for the rest of the time since then we have been working our butts off on the house. We have stuccoed and painted the front of the house red and done the window frames in a gloss black out front. Laid all new bamboo flooring on the second floor. Finished the ceiling treatment in the living and dining room. Repainted the living room, dining room, kitchen walls.
Done some electrical in the house, new lights above the island, new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, installed heaters in the bathroom and front mudroom. Wehave also put new spindles and railing on the staircase, wallpapered the entire hall and stairwell, installed baseboards and window and door trim and painted it all throughout the entire house, sanded the treads on the stairs and painted the back and sides and spindles a bright white. Installed new granite counter tops and installed a new hood fan in the kitchen, touched up stain on all cabinets and framed out the wall oven and microwave cabinet.
We have also installed a new toilet and vanity in our washroom up stairs. Finally painted the master bedroom and installed our closet organizer which I built. Redid the front yard and front paver patio this summer. Built a mantle and fireplace for the dining room, hung floating shelves and pictures in the house.
We also had Matts parent come to visit for three weeks in mid September which was lovely, they did not stay here but did come over a few times for a visit and Matt went out to see them as well in Oshawa a couple time and we also went to Oshawa for dinner once and to go and see a play with his cousin Gillie, Aunt Barbara and Mom and Dad Allsopp, love them!
For thanksgiving we went out to Matts cousins and met the whole family for a huge dinner, I do believe there was 26 people there and it was a blast. His whole family is just amazing and they all stick together and seem to get along very well. Can't wait to see them all again.
So yes we have been extremely busy and doing stuff here in the house so I apologize for not being on here and writing as much as I use to , though I am going to try and get back into the habit as it is therapeutic for me and also helps me to keep in touch and let my friends know that I am still here and kicking and will be for quite some time.
For now I shall sign off and I promise to be back soon and right some more. Have a great day and a great week and please keep reading, Love you all and thank you for your support this summer for those of you who knew what was happening.
