It was a whirl wind of a weekend.

Friday & Saturday

It all began around 5:30 pm when I arrived home from school. I noticed that there was a missed call from home and so I called my dad and he told me a good friend of the family had died suddenly. I was in complete shock; this person was the most generous, sincere, giving, encouraging and helpful person.I felt so sad for his wife and his family. My mom was away in Atlanta for a couple of days for a convention and was coming back Saturday so my dad was alone. Kyle and I decided to go to the Falls Friday night to help my dad with a few things, so we did that and ended up staying up really late. The next morning I was up early doing some more things and we got another call from my Aunt telling us our grandma was in the hospital and she is getting sicker.
In a way it’s a good thing because she has been on a waiting list for a good care facility and this will speed up the process but I felt completely over come with grief. I am so sad about what’s happening with my grandma, she is such an amazing woman who I love and admire so much. It’s hard to see her be in pain and feel alone.
After we got that call I broke down. I was still in shock over the death of someone who meant a lot to Kyle and I and thinking about Grandma was too much to bear, and the fact that my mom was unable to hear the news because she was traveling was just upsetting.

I spent the next couple of hours working on an assignment to help take my mind off of everything. Kyle needed to do some work on the car in the states so we headed across the border and spent the rest of our Saturday there. I was given a budget of $50.00 to spend, Kyle dropped me off at the Target complex while he went to work on the car and I made it my mission to get as much as I could within my budget.
I ended up getting a $10.00 sweater and $10.00 Liz Claiborne purse, 2 movies; At First Sight & Last Holiday 10.00, and another shirt $14.00 from Aropostal. I was within the budget but Kyle being the sweetheart that he is convinced me to buy a pair of shoes that I saw even though they were $37.00. He seems to think it’s impossible for me to find shoes that fit great and that I like! ( Go Figure!) He has way too much experience shopping with me. I think he knows me too well. After shopping we went out for dinner and because Apple Bee’s was a 35 min wait we decided to go to Pizza Hut. We got a family size meal of backed chicken fettuccini with cheese and 4 breadsticks for $13.99 The whole meal serves 4 so it was an awesome deal. I love buying food in the states! It’s cheap and there is always left over’s.
So that was our Saturday.

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…
