I'm sorry for the delay but this economic crisis we are in is hitting a bit close to home for me so I have been getting some things together.....its not that long of a chapter but I'm still playing and wanted you to know what was going on.....so now the story continues!!!




This picture is simply for nostalgia's sake....It's the last picture of AJ and Arlen truly happy.....because for some reason, after Kyler Dewayne became a toddler, AJ started back to his wild ways and began seeing that woman from his college days....Little did he know it was all about to come crashing down on his head.....



Before we get to the drama, let me say the twins had grown into two beautiful young ladies. They were still very different, but you could not find two closer sisters.



Kasha had also grown up and was away at Sim State with her brother, a fact that he was not too happy about! We missed her so much! Anna had retired and decided to open up her own art gallery featuring her own work that she named Picture This! She was busy running that while I was running for Mayor of Sim City. We tried to keep ourselves busy so that we wouldn't suffer from the empty nest syndrome.



Anna was also keeping busy by checking in on Aiden and Kelly...she felt that they were getting pretty serious and she wanted to be there every step of the way. I told her she was acting like my dad and she said of course she was because just a my dad loved me, she loves our son......has a way with words doesn't she?



Now for the drama......Arlen came home to find AJ blatantly standing outside their home kissing Ivy Carple. Now Ivy and AJ had a bit of a history together. She is the one he cheated on Arlen with when they were in college and they had kept in touch. So, of course Arlen was furious.



AJ tells her in no uncertain terms that it is over and that he wants and needs to be free and that they should never have gotten married.



Arlen is devastated and can't believe that he would tear their family apart for a woman who doesn't even love him. This is the point where Ivey decided to stand up and assert that she did in fact love AJ. Arlen was peeved to say the least......



So she promptly jumps on Ivy and begins taking all of her anger and frustration out on her. AJ couldn't believe his nice quite wife even had it in her to start a fight.



Arlen, with all her pit up rage, of course comes out victorious! Can't say I was upset to hear it.....she should have beat AJ's butt too!



She was devastated and heartbroken.......her family and her marriage were over.....and the man who she had given a second chance against her better instincts, had shown her once and for all that he did not nor had he ever really, love her.........
