New Family, New Home

This is my first entry since immigrating to Apple Valley. After I immigrated there was a huge storm and flooding, but things are better now and we are settled in our new home. Bill is still a bit nervous about the new hood, but I think once he goes to school, he will feel much better. There are other children his age here and of course, once Fiona and I marry we will add to our family and Bill will have a little sibling. I wonder if he will ever want to find his birth parents?

My life is different as well, I no longer work in law enforcement, instead I give massages at The Blossom Salon. Maybe my boss will send me to Kimikura to learn a new massage technique. That would be nice. I've met some interesting sims, including Hazel Starr Grey. She attended the welcoming ceremony before she jetted off to Bottom Beach.

I should email my family and see how they're doing. The website has been down, so I hope everything is ok.

Wedding Planning

I'm gathering ideas for my wedding this simWednesday. I chose my dress already, it's A.Pentragnani and it's from thier Tatiana Collection.

Colors. I love the fall color scheme, especially since mother is going to plant some trees in the yard for the reception. So basically browns, oranges and golds. The colors will be used for the invitations, reception decor and more.

Food: The reception will feature lots of hardy items. Pork chops, grilled fish, salads and more. I am looking for lots of different types of cakes for the wedding. I would love to have uncle create a custom wedding cake for me. He said that he would try, but who knows. I did find some other cakes for the dessert table that I want at the reception.

Ceremony: The ceremony will be at Central Park in front of the large fountain. No decor is needed and the ceremony will be fairly quick since guests will be standing. We'll arrive early for photos.

Reception Decor: The reception will be in the large side yard. I found the tablecloths I want and the dishes. I am still deciding on centerpieces.

Daughter's Wedding Celebrations

Fiona is engaged and I have three simdays of celebrations to plan for her nuptials on simWednesday. Actually I am in charge of her bridal shower this simMonday, her cousin-Rebecca-is in charge of her bacherlorette party on simTuesday and then the wedding on simWednesday.

I must send invitations to all the area spokessims, Fiona must begin to make contacts now so that when she steps up as hood president, she will have the contacts already.

Grey Sims and Vacation

I arranged for a vacation package for the Grey Sims Society. For $2000 we will travel to Kimikura and stay at a very nice hotel resort. I had WTG develop a travel program for us and Apple Valley Charter Planes altered it for Kimikura.
