Here goes my last 4 months at Sheridan.

It’s the Eve before school and all the lunches are packed for the week, veggie bags and all. Note books are sitting out. An outfit is laid out and the big purse is filled with essentials for school survival.

Yes..to my dismay school is back in session tomorrow. 8:00 am classes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I think they are really trying to prepare us for an career by getting us up and ready to class early. This weekend was awesome, the perfect to finish off my 3 three weeks of blissfulness. I am excited to be back in school for my final semester. A lot of great things are going to happening this year such as year end Gala and Graduation as well as getting that diploma in hand and finally being a college graduate. Not only that but I will be an Advertising Executive. How cool is that? So that’s what I’m pondering tonight before I go escape into mindless shows like “The Secret Life of the American Teenager or the last two seasons of “Boy Meets World”.

This week I am going to attempt to stay within my 1500 calorie limit, I have a huge purse that Kyle bought for me for Christmas, it’s big enough to hold my lunch bag, which encloses my massive salad, 2 containers of dressing (1 for salad and 1 for veggies and dip) and it also is big enough that I can take my book that I write everything I eat in the day in. So I will be able to keep track, the key is to only eat the food I bring and not get any Ice Caps…because I love having those when I’m at school working on projects and tidbits’! I hope to work out 3 times this week and take time on my train rides to pray and read the bible, which come to think of it will also fit in my bag…although the small bible I do have is King James which isn’t the most thrilling so maybe I will have to wait on taking that until I have a small NIV version.

Highlights of the weekend, Hmmm let’s see. My dad’s sermon today was inspiring. It was called “Vital Signs” and how to read them. He shared a little about the life altering experience he had just been through and related it to our lives and how we can change our lives by taking little steps to improve. He made the analogy of him having to sit down while he brushed his teeth and shaved during his recovery but that he was determined to move on without letting the sickness overcome him. In our own lives we too can do this. Every day we can do something small even if it’s painful and challenging to move us in the right direction. Eventually we will get stronger and the tasks won’t seem so painful. I am going to incorporate this into my spiritual, emotional and physical life. Or at least try to0!

Friday and Saturday were a lot of fun for Kyle and I…well the whole week was but Friday we slept in (well Kyle did) and I spent the entire morning watch my T.V box sets. Anyway, we rented the movie “The Perfect Getaway” which is a really awesome thriller. It has this crazy twist we had to rewind a couple of times to figure out in the end but it was really good. We watched that while we ate our delicious fiesta night meal, Quesdia, Nachos and Guacamole. For some reason this time the Guac was out of this world amazing and good! We loved it…After that some unmentionable things happened! But let’s just say we enjoyed each other’s company. Oh…in the afternoon I cleaned the linen closet, which now looks amazing and also changed all the bedding and flipped the mattress which is also incredible! It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you have some time off.

Saturday was also a lot of fun, Kyle Slept in and we got an early start because we were heading to the falls for the afternoon. We had lunch at the mall…I love going to Jimmy the Greek and getting the chicken Pita. It’s only 350 calories and so delicious! After than on a whim I stopped in at the Fruits and Passions I no longer work at and I didn’t mind doing this since it’s owned by new management and no one I know works there. Anyway, I was completely and utterly in shock to see a HUGE 2 LTR JUG of FRUITS of the ISLANDS hand soap! It’s massive! And it was on for $24 bucks when it should be sold for $60! So I snatched that up with some shower gels. After heading to the falls we dropped off some laundry and then went straight to the states where I got 2 new shirts for only $4.00 and $10.00 because the GAP outlet is having some ridiculous sales which was awesome and we did some grocery shopping at Target. All that and we had a yummy dinner with mom and dad in the evening.

This week as been so much fun, I am sad that school is tomorrow but excited at the same time. I know it’s going to be a whirlwind but I should enjoy it because I will never get this feeling back and this is the end of schooling as I know it! Hopefully it will be a semester filled with lots of friends, parties and memorable presentations and experiences.

Kyle just went out to get us some Pita’s for a late dinner and we’ll probably watch a movie and go to bed pretty early tonight. I can’t wait to get into our freshly washed sheets…how awesome! Tomorrow I will be up at 5:15 am….I’m actually pretty excited.
What an awesome Christmas and holidays it was.

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…
