My last day of radiation was on Fri, Dec. 4. Mark went with me and met the staff. He loved them as much as I did. They gave him the "tour" and explained in detail everything that happens. He said it hit home just how important and scary it all is when they slammed close the steel 6in. thick door that separated me from them. Then he explained that starting the radiation was like a launch procedure and she put in a key and push a button at the same time to initiate. He said it was very high tech and very secure. After that we went back to my place to finish packing and got on the plane to....Las Vegas, NV. He planned this secret vacation for me in celebration for my last day of radiation. He is truly an amazing man and I feel so blessed and fortunate to have him in my life. We had a fantastic time together sightseeing and walking all over. We also got to go to The Phantom of the Opera. That was an awesome show to see.
I am bringing my two boys to Kalispell for Christmas. I want them to see where I will be living and meet Mark and his kids. My oldest son Justin is 19, a senior in high school, and is in the National Guard. He lives in Roundup, MT. My younger son Alex will be 14 in a couple of weeks and lives primarily with his dad in Belgrade, MT (10 miles from Bozeman). Alex has met Mark a couple of times and Justin has only talked to him on the phone. We will all be going skiing and snowboarding one of the days we are there. I look forward to that. My Alex has been dying to teach me to snowboard. I think it will be a really fun couple of days for everyone.
My last day at work is Jan 5 and then Mark will come up on Friday with the horse trailer to move the rest of my things. Half of my stuff is already boxed in his basement from when I was first moving in Aug. It has been a little strange living kind of half way through all of this. Between being halfway moved to Kalispell, breast cancer and really wanting to be closer to Mark it has been a really hard 5 months. I am glad that it is all done and we can finally close the gap between us.
I am sorry that it has taken me so long to update my blog but I have been busy between work, shopping for Christmas and working on crafting presents.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I love and miss you all.
