A Sunny Start

It is looking so sunny outside today. I think it's going to be one hot weekend here. Well, it's been so nice having Kyle home on Wednesday, Thursday and again today. He took some days off but it always seems like something goes wrong during his time off and he isn't able to really enjoy them. Wednesday night we went out running again and Kyle rolled his ankle after tripping on this really large stone that was on the road. Yesterday he spent the whole day in bed with an ice pack on his ankle and we hope it's feeling better today.

So I got 2 runs in this week which is better than none so that's good but I was hoping for 3. I feel like running/walking is the most challenging way to work out for me. I have to push myself and it's uncomfortable so I think if I can continue to do go out a couple of times a week it will really help with my progress. I have been on track with my weight watcher points but it doesn't feel right, I go over my points almost every day which equals to more than 1500 calories, so I'm not convinced that's okay even though you are allowed extra points. I haven't lost anything this entire time but I am going to keep on trying.

Today I have an appointment at the Hamilton Hospital, I'm not sure exactly what it involves, It has something to do with medically testing my eyes, I'm not sure how they will do that but we'll see. Other than that, We need to pick up some things from Target in the states this weekend and Melanie Plett is having her hometown wedding reception on Sunday so we will definitely be there for that. I ran into Taunt Mary in the mall and everyone, Dan, David..the entire family is gone off to B.C for a big family gathering so they won't be coming on Sunday which is too bad for Mel, there won't be to much family who is able to make it but I'm sure it will still be a great afternoon.

I have my appointment with Mary from Publicis on Tuesday, that's all I have going on next week..I really don't have any expectations at this point, I know that it's a lot in itself that she is taking time out to meet with me so I am just grateful for that, I hope it turns into something but by the sounds of it there are no positions available right now. I never did hear back from Block Buster but maybe there's something else full time out there for me, we'll see.. I do feel overwhelmed not helping with the finances. I feel like as much as I am enjoying this well deserved break I wish our credit card debt was being payed down. I hate that we owe money and I wish I was helping to pay it down right now. I know that when I do start working it will get paid off fairly fast but we need to also start saving for owning a house and every month spent paying off debt is less time to save for the future but I know that everything will happen and it will be awesome. It's just hard waiting.

We printed off a whole whack load of pictures from Costco, from Jordan & Emily's wedding and my graduation and some others that we need to go pick up today before my appointment so I am going to go get ready for the day. Until later...

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…
