5 years & counting

5 years married!
That is something to smile about.
Yesterday Kyle and I celebrated our 5th year anniversary. It is incredible to see how far we have come in these first 5 years together. It feels like just yesterday we were getting married, my how time flies.

We thought long and hard about what we wanted to do this year. All the big trips we had hoped to take were too costly and as much as we long to get away to California or somewhere tropical we will have to wait until we can do it comfortably so we can enjoy ourselves without worrying about how much it’s costing. So until that time happens we will do smaller but still fun and new anniversary trips.

This year we decided to do a Toronto dinner and cruise night. It was a really good break from the rest of the world. It’s an incredible feeling to be out at sea (or lake) you feel kind of trapped, like if you needed to get off and go somewhere right away you wouldn’t know what to do. I think that’s what makes being out in the water so nice, there’s nowhere to go so relaxing and enjoying the time is all you can do.

The food was really good, we had roast beef, chicken along with some potatoes, salads and dessert was a mixture of fresh fruit, different pastries and really yummy chocolate and strawberry cakes. It was nice to see the older crowd (and I do mean older!)get down on the dance floor. The DJ was playing really old music like “Twist and Shout” old and there was this grandpa lighting up the dance floor, he must have been quite the womanizer in his youth because he definitely liked to leave an impression with the older lady crowd. He was dancing with someone new every time he got up there. It was easy to spot because there were only probably 5 groups of people actually dancing, it was hard not to watch and laugh.

It was the perfect night for weather, we spent a lot of time alone at the top of the boat just talking and feeling the nice cool wind. Before coming home we stopped by the water at a bench and exchanged gifts. I posted a picture of what Kyle got me. For 5 years married it’s all about wood, so Kyle got me this incredible wooden basket which I love and inside were some scratch tickets (since I’m a gabbling man) and a yummy peach scented candle, a very nice black sweater that you wear over outfits, it’s longer and open without any buttons, I have been searching for the perfect one for so long, it’s great to wear over dresses in the fall or winter. Inside was also a body scrub and a necklace. Out of everything I love the basket the most; it’s perfect to keep for a lifetime.

It was a great night and I am so blessed and happy to have such an incredible man like Kyle in my life. It’s great to be in love and have that person in your life who completes you and is you’re everything. I can’t wait to experience the next 5 years, I know they are going to be out of this world.

Heidi said...: Heath - you look so beautiful! I love that dress. Happy Anniversary! Ours was last week but we didn't go out (couldn't find a sitter) so we had a quiet night at home with dinner in.

Congrats on your license too - whoo! You did it.

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…
