Offically Late for Class!

Wow, what a weekend. It’s hard to believe we fit in as much as we do but we there’s definitely no down time on our weekends. Friday night is our night to chill, we went to Costco, had some Hot Dogs and did a little bit of grocery shopping followed by more grocery shopping at Sobeys. Then we came home and watched a downloaded episode of Survivor and went to bed pretty early. Saturday we got to sleep in and do things around the house before going to Niagara Falls. I had to document the entire weekend with 13 pictures for my photography class, so I was taking pictures of us leaving the house and signs on the road to Niagara Falls, things we did the entire weekend and then the drive home.

So Saturday night we had a belated Thanksgiving dinner with my dad, since last week he was home in the hospital. It was so delicious! It was amazing to see dad recovering, he still has a long road ahead but he is doing awesome. We definitely had a lot to be thankful for, the doctors continue to be in awe that he lived and it truly is a miracle. To appease the family I saw: Couples Retreat: again, Saturday night even though I saw it the previous week but it was still good the second time around. They all really loved it.

Sunday was great, we watch this DVD about the bible and finances, it included 5 steps that the bible tells us to follow to lead a life of financial success. After that was Rochelle’s baby shower which totally rocked, she was really fortunate, people gave for a new comfy chair and other cute baby stuff. The cake was shaped like a pregnant stomach, it was so cute!

After that was over, Kyle and I scooted over the bridge to the States to pick up a few essentials at Target: Kit Kat, Reece’s cups, Hershey Bars, (all the little kind) Gatorade, sparkling water, Fuze juice, Arizona Ice tea and Diet ginger ale( As you can see when you come to our house you get a wide selection of refreshments to chose from) we already had a case of Dasni water left so that wasn’t needed! We also got the 100 calorie mini cupcakes which I love and 60 calorie packs of Swedish fish
(one of which I already ate on the bus this morning) ANWAY Oh yeah, I also picked up Seasons 1 &2 of Greys Anatomy at Target for my parents to watch when they have down time while dad is recovering. It’s a great show.
After all that we drove home and picked a pita from Pita Pit up for me and Kyle called ahead to order his spicy chicken from the Japanese restaurant in downtown Burlington. The funny thing about that is, when he calls he doesn’t have to say anything the lady who owns the store knows him well. Literally this is how the conversation went:
Kyle: Hi
Lady: Kyle, You want some spicy Chicken?
Kyle: Yep

Lady “Okay we’ll get it ready for you.”

It’s just so funny because she must have caller display but she knows him by name and exactly what he wants every time. It’s hilarious. Whenever Kyle is thinking about what he wants to eat, if we’re eating out he always sheepishly says I know what I want. (And I know exactly what he’s talking about!) Anyways, class is about to start so I need to get going,
I can’t wait to get home, I found this old movie from 1987 with Kevin Bacon in it called “White Water Summer” I’m going to watch it when I get home, it sounds like my kind of movie. One of those hidden gems!

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…
