Seasons Change

I can feel the season changing each time I step out of the apartment and smell the wind blowing. The leaves will change pretty soon and the hot sun will fade behind the cool crisp moon and it will be fall.

Fall is my favorite season of the year; it’s a season that represents the beginning of something new, a fresh start. I have always had fond memories of fall, It marks the beginning of a new school year and I remember going shopping and getting new back to school clothes. Even though January is the beginning of a New Year September is really the beginning. All the new T.V programs start and new semesters in school start.

I have a couple more days off before I begin my second year. I recently received my grades for the last semester and I was disappointed to see a B+ in one of the classes which means that I am no longer a 4.0 student. I am a 3.90 student but I hope to change that in the next year. I am looking forward to school starting up again. It’s hard to believe that next year this time I will be starting my third year and pretty soon entering the work world.

Kyle and I are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary today even though it was yesterday. We are going to Toronto to see Dirty Dancing on stage and dinner. I can’t believe we have known each other for so many years now. We are pretty settled down in our life right now. As I go into another year of school and Kyle continues to work at Spinmaster I am sure that we will accomplish a lot in the next 2 years. Hopefully by that time we will have no debt at all ( which will for sure happen sooner then that) But during these years we want to save as much cash as we can so we will be ready when I graduate to move and put a down payment on a house and have money set aside to renovate and buy new things like a fridge, stove, ya know all the important stuff.

I feel like everyday I am living the dream, each day is one step towards one thing bigger to come. Everyday that I learn something new I am one step closer to applying it in the work world and working towards the dream of having my own magazine. When I look around me as I sit on our corduroy couch I have everything I need. I have a beautiful comfortable place to live that I call home. I have an amazing husband asleep in the room next to me. I have all the entertainment I need because I am lucky and Kyle lets me indulge in buying box sets. I have my school books bought and paid for along with my tuition, a fresh new Go train pass for September and fridge and cupboards stocked with all of my favorite foods. Best of all is I have a family who loves Kyle and I both and is supportive of us in the things we want to do and do.

On a side note last night for our anniversary I convinced Kyle to watch a romantic movie that he normally wouldn’t watch in this case I chose Little Woman which for me is a great love story. We had gone to Costco and found the chicken fajita pizza that hasn’t been sold there in months and we had to get it which was exciting and we also saw the good porgies on special there so we got some of those, friend them up with onions, bacon and green onion and had that for supper with some yummy spritzer from IKEA. I ended up only watching half of the movie and Kyle tucked me in early and that is why I am not up at 6 am, well its 7:20 now and the movie I am watching Serendipity is almost over. I am excited for today and I am excited for another year of being married.

Each year is so different from the last and I know the up coming year, this fall, this September and all of the months that follow will be like a new changing season.
I can feel it in the air.

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
