Title: Family Changes

-

Lot:

Zarko - Edward, Adam, Samantha

-

Hello everyone, my name is Adam and I'm the one with with his arms folded in the picture. My family and I are new to Prosperity Island and just moved here from the city. The old man is my dad, Edward, and the woman is my twin sister, Samantha. Yes, I said twin sister, we're fraternal twins. We moved here to start a new home and lifestyle and try to help dad out now that he is getting older. When Samantha and I were younger, dad used to take care of us and do everything for us because our mother died while giving birth to me and Samantha. Dad would get up really early to drive us to school, and used to work the night-shift in order to able to spend time with us and watch us grow-up. Now that he is getting older, I have taken the responsibility of helping him out like he did to us a long time ago. The city life is just to hectic and this seems like a great place to start a family take care of dad, so here we are. Samantha also helps with dad but she has different beliefs than both us and sometimes prefers to go out an party. Well, I hope that moving to a new place away from clubs and the city will be more comfortable for me and dad, but also might help keep Samantha's mind away from partying. Anyway, here is a little more about my family and I so you can better understand who we are.

(LTW) Become Criminal Mastermind

I know what you're thinking, "He wants to be a criminal ?!?!". Well the answer is yes and no. I don't want to rob banks or kidnap people for money, I want to do something more along the lines getting "hints" on investments and stocks in order to further my salary and income...

You see what I mean about my sister? She likes to go out with different guys and party all of the time and my dad is getting too old to deal with these problems, I just hope that can both cope with each other and live together, at least for a while.

(LTW) Become Mad Scientists

-

As you can see, my dad's a pretty conservative guy. He really wants to become a Mad Scientists but I don't think he will be able to accomplish this in his lifetime. At least he'll have something to look forward to in the time he was left with us.

With the little money we had left over after the move, we hired a contractor to build us a little house. It had a living room, a kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Samantha had little say in the decorating, you can definitely tell it was decorated by a couple of guys.

This is an exterior view of our new house. It doesn't look to bad does it? Pretty good if I do say so myself.

Both dad and I got jobs to help bring in more money to the household. I got a job in the criminal career track and dad in science. Samantha didn't really want to pitch in with the money and started feeling like she was always overruled by us, which in my mind, was not true. So she decided to move out and bought a house right across the street. With Samantha gone the house started to seem like it was in desperate need of a female inhabitant. I also had been feeling lonely without a girlfriend or my friends back in the city so I decided to start looking for someone to settle down with. I actually met this lovely lady named Amanda on Monday while I was taking the trash out.

I invited her over for dinner and we quickly became the best of friends. Secretly, I wanted more with her than just being friends. I was stunned with her beatiful red hair and inteliigence and hoped of one day getting the guts to ask her out on a date.

I guess all of my praying worked because I decided to invite her on a date Tuesday night. I didn't really have enough money to take her out to a restaurant so I cooked her a lovely dinner and we ended up getting much closer. So close in fact that we ended up having a dream date and falling in love with a 2 bolt relationship. I knew that Amanda was the person who I wanted to spend the rest of lfe with.

I guess she felt the same way to because she agreed to move in with my dad and I that very same night. Here is some more information about the love of my life..

We both loved each other and I proposed Wednesday night. She was so excited she nearly jumped out of her chair. We had talked about having a big wedding with all of our friends and family but we really didn't have the money to waste on a big party. And since we were all ready trying for a baby, we decided to just exchange our vows at our house with Sam and dad as witnesses.

To help out with the income Amanda decided to get a job in the culinary career track.

I was a little worried that dad might not approve of our quick marriage and that him and Amanda wouldn't get along but luckily they both shared a lot in common and even study together in their spare time.

That's right, Amanda's pregnant! You might be thinking that it hasn't been enough time for us to have a baby, but hey, she's a family sim. By the way, sorry about the dark photo, I forgot to turn on the flash.

Dad was estatic to have his first grandchild and would constantly talk to the baby or play peek-a-boo as if the baby could actually see or understand him, you just have to love the "power" grandchildren seem to have over their grandparents!

I decided to take on painting for some extra money, people pay a lot of money for original paintings these days!

Since Amanda was on maternity leave, she spent a lot of her time thinking of new recipes to use in the restaurant she works in. She's trying to come up with a great recipe to possibly impress the boss with when she goes back to work to maybe get a promotion.

Pregnancy flew by and pretty soon Amanda went into labor. Both dad and I were at work so she had to undergo the miracle of life, and much pain, on her own. Luckily, she's a strong woman and did fine on her own. In no time she gave birth to a baby BOY. We decided to name him Evan, after Amanda's father. He was my blonde hair and Amanda's brown eyes and tan skin tone. I can't seem to find a picture of Evan as an infant so I guess I'll have to keep you waiting until his first birthday, sorry!

In the meantime, I made my first $5,000 at work and got a pretty big bonus for getting some "info" on a horse race in Simtucky.

I also got pretty good at paiting and sold my first masterpiece Sunday night, but who's bragging?

Evan's first birthday was on Sunday too. Amanda and dad were both working that night so I just baked him a little cake and helped him transition into a toddler. I think he looks a lot like me, what do you think?
