Happy Valentines Day

I love Valentines day! I know it is just another day but for me it was this day over 9 years ago that I had my first date with Kyle. I will never forget that special valentines day. I had no idea how special that night would be and how much I would fall for Kyle. I remember every detail like it was yesterday. My red long flowing dress and the black perfect wool sweater cardigan I borrowed from Crystal down the hall in dorms to wear over top. Everything came together so perfectly. Kyle surprised me with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers which we still laugh about as the Flower's Kyle brought me that day lasted longer than anyone else's on dorms. We had the best pasta dinner of my whole life. I still believe that, I have not yet had better pasta anywhere than what we had that night at the Big Ridge. ( I think that's what it's called!) We borrowed my roommate Liz's car for the night which was huge for us, we were given the opportunity to go out and really get to know each other. We had our awkward first date moment at the restaurant when one of the deans of the bible college was having dinner with his wife at the same restaurant and we ran into each other. I remember feeling so nervous..Kyle could always set me into flutter with one glance. We drove to White Rock after dinner and walked along the pier..I remember being chilly and Kyle holding me. It was a special night. We saw a movie was playing on the way home and decided to see it. I honestly have no idea what it was about because all I could think about was this incredible guy sitting next to me. The movie was called "A Guy Thing" and I'm thinking we need to watch it again sometime..maybe tonight.
I can't tell you how incredibly special I felt on that night. when we got back to dorms I talked to a few friends on how our night went, got changed and Kyle and I went out for a long walk before curfew. It was the perfect ending to a perfect night that I will never forget.

Tonight we are staying in, maybe we will watch that movie from our first Valentines Day. I really don't care what we do..just as long as I am with Kyle.
I was inspired by my moms Black Forrest Cake recipe that she made for my dad's birthday not too long ago and decided to give it a try. You can see some of the pictures bellow. It's all ready for dessert tonight, I just have to add some chocolate shavings on top!

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…
