Family tree part 2

***From Simmer in charge--Scoring***
Family ended with over $500,000 in cash. I had all 7 platinum headstones for all aspirations and earned all career rewards. My final point tally was 44 points.

I have an order in for Open for Business on Ebay. I should be getting it sometime next week. Once I play for a while and learn the game, I'll begin a new legacy. Until then, I plan to play some of my other Bailey's Ravine families as well as the siblings that have been frozen in time.

Come back soon!

Family Tree part 1

Presenting Generation 10

Our son, Omar, turned 2 today and the Forbes family is now released from the requirements of my great grandfather Mark's terms. We may now choose our own paths. Omar doesn't have to continue living here on the Forbes estate. He may choose to do so, of course, but the house, land, and all it entails is now ours, free and clear.

Teresa is expecting another child as well, and that makes us very happy. We are excited as we look towards the future, trying to determine what the next expansion of our lives will hold for us.

Noah's Wedding

Teresa moved her stuff in the day before our wedding. Even then she didn't remove the cow mask. She said I would see her at the altar and not before.



We all got a good night's sleep so we would be ready for the wedding in the morning. I was so excited! I couldn't wait to marry the girl of my dreams.

I waited at the altar for her to come down the steps of the chapel. I was so nervous.



Then I saw her. She was beautiful! Her hair was black and shiny. She was wearing a pale pink dress with a veil over her face. I had never seen a more beautiful woman.
She stood in front of me and asked if I still wanted to marry such an ugly person.



I took her hands and said, "Teresa, I'm in love with your spirit, your zest for live, and your humor. I belief you are beautiful, inside and out." Her face lit with a beautiful smile and it was like the sun shining from behind a bank of clouds. We recited our vows before my mom and our friends. It was a beautiful ceremony.







The reception was wonderful. We ate, danced, and talked all night. I even danced with mom a few times.











After the party, Teresa and I went back to our room at the house. I promised that I would do my best to love her and make her happy.

Noah's Girlfriend

I am in love!

I met a wonderful girl at college named Teresa. She's the cow mascot. She's funny and smart. She likes to hang around with me and play pool. We like to watch TV and have pillow fights.







Some people say she's annoying, but not to me.

I love her so much, on our last date I asked her to marry me!



She won't take her cow outfit off, though. She says she's ugly. I just know that anyone who is as funny and sweet as she is has to be beautiful. She said she would take it off at our wedding. She said it would be too late to back out after we were married :)

We still have 2 years before graduation. I'm sure she'll take off the costume before then.

Generation 9 grows up

Before I knew it, Noah was going to school.



Then he was a teenager getting ready for college.



I'm not ready for my baby to grow up!

I saw something strange at the cowplant the other night. I swore it was Calvin, but when I looked back he was gone.

Forbes Family Loses Three Members Suddenly

The Forbes family is sad to announce the passing of their matriarch Lorelai Forbes Charvat. She passed away peacefully at her newly restored family home. Less than 48 hours later, her husband, Robi Charvat, also passed away. Their daughter, Kira Raha, gave this statement:

Mother and Father loved each other so much they couldn't live without each other. Father went to be with the woman he has loved for over 30 years. Noah and I will miss them greatly, but they are at peace.

Kira Raha did not comment on the loss of her husband, Calvin Raha. Calvin Raha was killed in a gardening accident at the family's home the day after Robi Charvat passed away.

The Storm!

There was a major storm the other day, it came right through Sim City and hit Bailey's Ravine head on! The news said there was a tornado! It tore right through the upper floor of the house as well as the nightclub building out back. It was terrible!

We've had to redo the house. We tore down the upper floor and moved all the living room stuff into our great room. The living room has now been divided into bedrooms.

The nightclub house was too damaged, it had to be completely torn down.

Here is the new house after repairs were made.

Kira's Wedding

**Warning - semi-adult content at the end**

I finally had my dream wedding!

There is still some tension between Dad and Calvin, but they are slowly breaking the ice. I think it's difficult because Dad has been there for so long for me and Noah and now I've found someone else to turn to for what I need, as well as giving Noah a step-father. Calvin really does love that little boy, and Noah loves him as well.

The wedding was beautiful! It was in our chapel out back, where all the family weddings are held. My aunt Michelle came, as well as Ariyana, my friend from college.





My dress was beautiful! I could hear Mom crying through the ceremony.







We had so much fun at the reception. We danced and talked and ate lots of food.









Our wedding photo now hangs on the wall of the chapel along with pictures of other family members.







I even danced with Noah before he was put to bed :)



We went off on our honeymoon in style.



Looks like it will be fun night ;)

Introducing Calvin

Calvin and I have been seeing each other for 6 months now. It seems like we met just yesterday. We finally decided to introduce him to Mom and Dad.



Mom was great! She and Calvin had a lot in common.



Dad was another story.



After Calvin left the room, we argued.

"He's my age, for God's sake! Haven't you learned your lesson with older men?"



"Daddy, I love him! He's not like Korey!"

"I still don't like this, young lady, not at all. You are living in my house and you need to shape up! You have a child to care for!"

"I believe, Daddy, that you are living in Mom's house, which is technically now MY house, and I will do as I please. I love him, he's asked me to marry him, and we're going to be living here, so you can deal with it or you and Mom can leave!"



I'd never spoken to my father in that way before. He stormed from the room and didn't speak to me for a long time.

Dating Calvin

Calvin and I had our first date tonight. We had dinner, we went bowling, and we danced. He is the nicest man I've ever met, except for my father. He makes me feel very special and loved.



I'm falling for him fast.

Moving Forward

There was no word from Korey at all during the 6 weeks the legal notices ran in the paper. The divorce was granted without contest. Korey's son, Tyson, had his father declared missing. At first I thought it would mess up the divorce, but my attorney saw to it that they were considered seperate cases. Even with our family's problems in the past, the police did not look to us in regards to Korey's disapearance. Tyson told him that his father had abandoned him as a child as well. It was only recently that they had even reconnected. Due to Korey's history and testimony of Mom and Dad about what happened the night Korey left, we were not considered suspects in his disappearance. So the divorce went through with no problems and the missing person case is still considered open.

I went out to dinner to celebrate and met someone. We talked almost all night and he offered to see me home. His name is Calvin.



Yes, another older man. What is wrong with me? But he's so sweet. I told him about Noah. He told me that he loves kids and wants to have some of his own. He's a widower. His wife wasn't able to have children and she passed away about five years ago.

He asked me on a date. I told him I would think about it.

Single Motherhood

Not long after Korey left I had our baby, a beautiful boy I named Noah.



Mom and Dad helped me so much with him. He's very smart. He and Dad get along very well. He grew up quickly.



I contacted Korey's son, Tyson, but he hadn't heard from him either. When Noah turned 2, I knew it was time to file for divorce. I felt like a failure, believing in this man who turned out to be exactly what my mother said he was. But I had a child to raise and it was important for me to be strong for him. I needed to move on with my life.

I filed for divorce and placed all the legal notices in every newspaper in the area, just like I was required to do. Then I waited for word from Korey.

Korey Leaves

Lorelai heard shouting from the living room. She entered to find Kira arguing with Korey. It had been going on for some time and had only gotten worse over the past month. Lorelai had also found more money missing, but hadn't mentioned it to Kira.

"You aren't going anywhere, you b*tch!" He screamed. Korey was drunk and still dressed in his underwear. He apparently hadn't gone into town that day.



"I'll go where ever I please, and don't ever call me that!" Kira yelled back.



"Hey!" Lorelai yelled at Korey. "You stop yelling at my daughter right now! She's pregnant, you idiot!"

"Stop telling me what to do, you old hag!" Korey raised his hand as if to slap Lorelai.



"Korey," A loud voice, steady but calm, spoke from the doorway. "I want you out of my house." Robi said.

"Gladly." Korey stormed into the master bedroom and soon appeared with a suitcase in his hands. He slammed the door shut behind him.

Kira slumped down onto the sofa and began to cry. As Lorelai moved to the sofa to comfort her, she cried out, clutching her stomach.

"Mom," Kira said, looking up through tear filled eyes, "I'm in labor."
