Anxious to Begin

Fall 2001 - Fischer Family
Avery is 23, Gideon is 25
Narrated by Avery Monroe

I couldn't believe this day had come already. I hadn't ever been the kind of girl who fantasized about her wedding, or expected it to come so early in my life, but here I was.

 

Better Things To Do

Summer 2001 - Campbell Family
Micah is 41, Karinna is 40, Jules is 17, Wyatt is 16
Narrated by Micah Campbell

 It's taking me a while to adjust to being a grandfather. Karinna and I waited a very long time to have a second child, and taking care of my own newborn, Bennett, while at the same time taking care of Dalton, my grandson. The boys will be raised more like brothers than uncle and nephew.








                                                                                                                                                     

Still Remember

Summer 2001-Lansing Family
Narrated by Christopher Lansing
Christopher is 37, Erica is 36, Carema is 29, Maya is 8

The Word Committed

Summer 2001 - Summers Family
Flint is 22, Erica is 32, and Brynn is 21

Narrated by Flint Summers

 Man, this summer had been going great. My band started to take off, and we even got signed to a label. Hunter and I worked so hard for this, and it was thrilling to know I was going to get paid for doing something I already love to do. We still jam together for fun, and bring our A-game to recording sessions.

The Right Sim

Summer 2001 - White Family
Narrated by Avery Monroe
Avery is 22, Gideon is 24

Usually, when something completely changes your life, it disguises itself as something completely ordinary. Like a random phone call in the middle of the afternoon.

Good Morning

Summer 2001 - Hernandez
Olivia is 26, Ignazio is 30, Nina is 17, Martin is 9

Narrated by Olivia Hernandez

I had been worried that life after the wedding would be boring. Everyone said the romance would slow down, and mundane life would replace it. I've been pleased to see that, so far, that hasn't happened with Ignazio. If anything, he uses it as an excuse to be even more romantic. His favorite name for me is "Mrs. Hernandez". 

Number Four

Summer 2001 - Costillo Family
Narrated by Rowena Costillo
Victor is 42, Rowena is 39, Daniel is 16, Leo is 2

 This summer has been creeping by, so slowly. My days are filled with diaper changes, feedings, and housecleaning.

Out From Under

Lansing Family

Erika was finally out from under her postpartum depression and the deep disappointment of losing her position as mayor. She was being a good mother, again, and was feeling up to the task of living.

Simple, Sweet, and Quiet

Hernandez Family Wedding

 "There you are," Karinna Campbell said, finding her sister holed up in the upstairs bedroom. "We've been looking for you. Can't have a wedding without a bride!"

Security System

Brynn Lovitz had just fallen into bed, exhausted. She was working round-the-clock on recording her debut album and opening for local acts. She was featured on the hit single of the two man rock group The Thrash's new album. She loved it, but she didn't realize going for her dream would leave her so worn out. Just before she drifted off, a clatter in the hallway of her apartment made her sit straight up.

Fingers Crossed

This dinner was everything to Ignazio. He'd been dating Olivia for a few months, now, and he was going to talk about moving her in tonight at dinner.

Fool Me

>White Family

No one could say that Logan White wasn't a devoted father or husband. Even though it was hard being so young and having three kids, he gave it his all.

 

A Different Dance

> Causland family

Ben Causland and Ingrid Burstrom, after years of on-and-off dating, finally married in a private ceremony at the couple's home.

 

A Fresh Face

> Haywood Family

The Haywood's lived a rather quiet life. Will was a senator, Robin was a teacher, and together they quietly raised their family in the suburbs. Things were about to get a little louder, however, as Will was running for mayor, and the elections were drawing close.

In the last few hot days of the year, their daughter Morgan opened a lemonade stand,

 

A Weekend to Remember: An inter-hood visit!

>White Family

The White family was so happy to receive their life-long friends, the DeBarbarak's, from Simberry Fields for an extended weekend visit. 

Kelsey and BriAnna spent nearly the whole visit catching up, having not seen eachother since Logan's wedding. They had been friends since long before the birth of all their children, and they talked like it had only been days since their youthful partying days.

 

Follow your heart

> Lovitz Family

Brynn Lovitz was still trying to get on her feet after college. Her degree in drama wasn't doing her any good in the real job market, and now that her college sweetheart found a job a thousand miles away, she was alone. She spent a lot of time watching television and daydreaming about being a famous singer.

 

An Empty Nest

>The White Family

The White Farm was always very noisy, with the squeals and laughter of the triplet grandchildren. Seven sims squeezed into the one home had always been a snug fit, and Kelsey and Andy had always fantasized about what they would do when they had their farmhouse to themselves.

They didn't often have time to fantasize, though, because taking care of three babies was hard work. There were always messes.

Between a Choice and a Mistake

>Causland Family
Ben is 26,
(Ingrid is 23, Avery is 22)

The community cleanup project was going off extremely well in the eyes of Ben Causland. He was, afterall, spearheading the efforts, and the shore was merely weeks away from being clean and safe. So, he thought, why not celebrate?

Ben threw a party in honor of the entire cleanup committee to show his thanks. Everyone showed up dressed to the nines,

It Was Bound To happen

>Hernandez Family
Ignacio is 36, Nina is 15, Martin is 6

Nina hadn't spoken to her boyfriend since the school year had ended a month ago. She would call him when the telephone was free, but he always said those were the times he was busy. "You need to get a cellphone," he told her. "Then we would be able to talk."

All Good Things

>Burstrom Family
Ingrid is 23
Ingrid Burstrom had a passion, which is more than many other sims can say.
