Well here it is , again I apologize for not writing sweet fuck all for the past little while. I have been and remain extremely busy doing the last few little bits in our house and looking for work and shit.
So in November for the first three weeks Matt and I worked our butts off to get the back porch framed reinsulated, tiled and the new bathroom laid out back there. We did plumbing, electrical and in preparation to put in a powder room , built in pantry and move our laundry to the main floor.
Then on the night of the 25th of November I flew out to Alberta and spent a fabulous week with my parents, It was so great to spend some valuable time with Mom and Dad and celebrate Moms 67th birthday with them both. I am so lucky to have both my parents and be able to spend time with them and considering they are the last immediate family I have left or choose to speak to, this was incredibly valuable to me and was worth millions.
We had a blast while I was out there and it was just so much fun, no pressure to see any of my drunken siblings or self righteous nephews and nieces, just a good time for Mom and Dad and I and a great visit.
Got to also stop by and see my best galpal and meet her hubby and the twins for a night before going to the Airport to come back here. Love you lots Sandi and so enjoyed our visit and meeting Tom and the twins, you have the most amazing little family and fabulous husband and you my dear are still the most gorgeous and loving person I know.
Anyhow while I was away Matt got sick and had a lovely cold and flu, was so hot to come home to that and catch from him, not really.
Anyways we finally both got over our flu by the first week of December and got on with the back porch and finishing drywall, mudding, taping and tiling the floors, had to have heat ran back there as well, got a good friend of ours Adam in to run new Duct work, so nice back there now.
We now have it all mudded the wall is tiled in the powder room and windows are frosted and washer and dryer moved up, I tell you that is the best thing, not having to walk to the basement anymore to do laundry. Love it.
We also went to see Les Miserable on December 21st, this was a Christmas gift to Matt and we both enjoyed the show and had a great time, it was amazing and if it comes to a city near you soon, go and see it, the best. However that night continued on for quite some time we went out after so Matt could meet my friend Billy who I have not seen since 2008. Was a great night until we got home in our cab and the damn power was out, woke up the next morning Sunday and was hopeful but there was no power, we kept ourselves warm with the gas stove and in bed all damn day. On Monday the 23rd we finally gave up hope and went to a hotel with the kids for a night, Tuesday I came home to check on things and grab some stuff we needed, wasn't even an hour after I left the house to go back to the hotel and Mara called to say the power was back on.
Got back to the house late afternoon on the 24th, checked a couple of the neighbors house to make sure furnaces were all running and water pipes were good. So glad we got to come home and spend Christmas here. Mara and Jeff and Louisa came over on Christmas eve for a visit and I have to say not too impressed with one of them. All and all a good time except for the racist and sexist remarks.
Anyhow it did not ruin our fun.
Christmas was spent with my hubby Matt who bought me the best gift ever a gorgeous and warm jacket, he also slaved over the stove all day and made a fabulous turkey dinner and we had Jeff and Mara and their two fab daughters over for dinner. After all Christmas is suppose to be spent with family and they are our family here.
New Years eve we were suppose to go out, though that was spoiled too when I slipped on black ice the night before and screwed the whole left side of my body, so not fun. Matt and I stayed home, had a few drinks and saw in the New Year with my new sis and bro, Mara and Jeff. Had a great time as always, love you guys.
Okay that is all for now, I hope 2014 is amazing for all my friends and adopted family and my parents. Lets make it a great year and remember the good and bad from 2013 as this is how we learn and move on.
