Christmas Holidays..Here I am!

Wow, I don’t think I have been this happy since the summer when Kyle and I went to Ottawa for our Anniversary and then to see U2 in the fall! I am officially on my Christmas Holidays. This is day one of 3 weeks of pure bliss! Off to the right is a picture of the gifts I got from Rochelle, so exciting, the faical cleanser smells like Pineapple! and the CD is one of the ones I'm collecting from my Fruits and Passion days. What else is there to say about "Grey's Anatomy" other than it rocks!

This is truly my last big break as when I am finished school next semester the pressure of finding a job will not make for any relaxing time off. Yesterday was a whirlwind. It was a jam packed day with exciting things. To kick Sunday off Kyle and I were part of the worship team singing during our Christmas service. Andrew had his hands full with tons of production aligning and leading too. The service was full of singing, drama’s, multi media clips and special songs but the highlight for Kyle and I was of course the song we sang as a duet together, It’s called “Winter Snow”. We did a pretty good job but messed up the timing in one part of the song, gratefully, no one but us seemed to notice.

Watch this clip of how the professional sang it…if Mountain Park puts it up I will send the link to us actually singing it but because Kyle and I were occupied no one was there to record it.

My dad has bronchitis, which is totally a misfortunate because he has been going through so much since his near death heart attack and now to be sick again and miss out on the family fun is terrible. Andrew and Rochelle are going away for Christmas so yesterday was our only time together to celebrate and since baby ELI, can’t get sick we had to leave my dad home and go out to a restaurant to exchange our gifts and spend time together. It was still a lot of fun but not the same by any means! Hopefully dad will be feeling better in a week for Christmas because he deserves to feel better and enjoy his time with family.

This picture on the right is all of our presents wrapped and under the tree...apparently Kyle has 2 more for me, which is just Awesome!

I am kind of doing the weekend in reverse now so backing up to Saturday….Mom and I had a relaxing day we finished up some grocery shopping at Costco and watched a couple of movies “Inglorious Bastards, and UP” We really wanted to see “Up” because It’s Zack’s favourite movie right now. It was so cute and funny but a pretty deep story…I think that makes Zack pretty sophisticated for his age. Speaking of movies I want to see the new animated Disney movie “The Princess and the Frog” there are also many more movies to see. My mom and I each bought Cineplex gift certificates from Costco we can go twice over the holidays. “It’s Complicated”, “Twilight”, “Family Matters”, “Inviticus”, “Avatar” which I will probably see with Kyle, and coming out soon is “The

Lovely Bones”….SO there is a lot to see!

Moving backwards some more, My Aunt Pam and Uncle Zeke, my mom and I all went to see “Have you met the Morgan’s” on Friday night. It was such an awesome movie! Everyone must go see it… It was awesome to see Sarah Jessica Parker again, she is so enduring and paired up with Hugh Grant was a perfect match. It’s definitely worth seeing over the holidays.

Now the best day of all because it was such a huge relief to be finished was Friday. My last day of school, WOW I never thought this day would come but it did! Now I had a test that I had to go to school at 8am to study for beforehand but the test only lasted an hour and I was out of there! I am just so relived and excited to be finishing this semester. I am not so excited to be starting a career in the industry next year, the very thought of it makes me nervous and scared out of my wits but maybe it won’t be as bad as I think it will. I couldn’t wait when I finished my test to get the fun times rolling so I hoped on a GO bus and got my mom to pick me up in the afternoon in the Falls. We did a little Christmas Shopping and wrapping before the movies that night, meanwhile Kyle helped Rochelle do a little shopping of her own. She wasn’t able to get out and do anything with Eli so Kyle took care of Eli while she shopped in the states, they had a good time I think but Kyle and I have been taking notes; there is a lot that goes into caring for a baby! A lot that one day we will be ready for but not quite yet! Well time to fast forward to today, It’s just me home alone…no job, no school …a beautiful decorated tree and lights…box sets to watch and tons of free time. Doesn’t sound too bad does it?

I am watching Veronica Mars right now, season 1 and I am going to wrap this up before watching Season 1 of True Blood. I have 2 seasons of that to watch and I have only gotten through a couple of episodes so hopefully if I like it I will have lots to watch and enjoy. I am just so excited for the week, it’s going to be so much fun just being off from school and doing fun things with Kyle and the rest of the family.
Well it’s only 8:30am…I think I’m off to a good start in maximizing my vacation accomplishments!

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…
