The End of Summer

My break week is over. It feels like the end of summer. When I think of summer I think of freedom, wind through my hair, open blue skies, rocket popsicles, fireworks, cool walks on the beach, midnight fires, sand inbetween my toes, pedicures, sun kissed skin, new kisses and new beginnings.
Summer time ....

I have been thinking about what this summer will be like. I am going to be working a regular job, working on my portfolio and developing ideas for campaigns. I am going to be working on my personal goals too but I will be out of school for 4 months! that is freedom in itself.

I have to apply for an internship at the the Toronto Film Festival when they become avilable. Those are paid internships in July and August and they are very competitive. I just found out about that this week after submitting my resume. I am bit nervous, I thought they did regular internships but it appears the internships are a huge deal. You have to try out to get them so I am going to give it my best shot and see what happens but I have decided that if it dosent work out I will be fine not doing an internship this summer and just pouring all my time into getting better at photo shop and indesign so I can beef up my creative skills.

I have these lofty dreams...
They all seem to revolve arround summer time.. I want to see a U2 concert so bad! I am getting a good start to summer by getting tickets to see Chantel Kreviaszuk April 6... I love a great concert, I think its one of my faviroute things to do anytime of the year. The perfect date for me... Dinner and and Concert. That is the ultimate experience. I love music and the thrill of the crowd. I think thats why I love all big stadium events. I am not a huge sports fanatic, I dont like watching it on T.V but I would love to go to the big games...its so exciting!

Aside from all that I love the sparkling blue ocean...the sandy shore and sun rise and set. I would love to hang out with friends on the beach, laughing and talking with a fire pit roaring ...sitting on lawn chairs.. listening to music...someone playing the guitar..singing along.

I long to experience this...I don't have a close group of friends like I once did. It's hard to meet people who you can relate to and who have time to just hang out and laugh. I think as we get older our friends move on and its tough to find good ones who are easy to get along with. I am really hopeing that I can make friends like this, this is kind of another form of summer to me. I think of so many fun memories with friends growing up and I miss them and would love to be able to make new memories with new friends. After your married its hard to have friendships. I think people looking onward at you think you already have it all because your married but that couldnt be further from the truth. You do find something truley special but you still want to share and be a part of friendships, that never changes.

When I look at this picture -------> I think of one day getting to sit in these chairs with Kyle. I don't know if it will be in Trinidad or in Mexico or the result of a road trip to Florida but we are definitely due for a getaway. I think once I reach my goal weight it will be a reward but until then it will remain an awesome dream!

There is just so much I want to do...so many summers I want to experience. So many BBQ's and so much fun with friends.

I guess they call it California Dreaming?

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…
