I'm finally up to my good pictures! But I also have some of the old so please excuse the back and forth....the sims look SO much better with their new skin and eyes! But their facial structure is still the same so hopefully it won't cause too much confusion!



Aiden and Kelly had settled very well into their married life together. They got a lovely apartment in Carson City, which is where AJ was also living at the time. They wanted to get a good start in their careers before having children, much to mine and Anna's dismay......we were looking forward to grandchildren



AJ's birthday rolled around and he had a small party at his apartment. To make up for not inviting Arlen to Kyler Dewayne's party he overcame his pride and invited her and Kevin....we were not really thrilled about Kevin's presence but Arlen couldn't come if Kevin wasn't there. He didn't trust AJ around her even though she insisted it was over between them.



And AJ was just as old as me and Anna! Ok maybe not just as old but look at that gray hair! He even tried to make conversation with Kevin but it really didn't go very well. Nobody liked how Kevin was treating Arlen, most of all AJ. He felt responsible. He had, after all, left her because of his own selfishness and push her into Kevin's controlling arms.



But the party was good for Arlen and for the first time in a long time she was actually having fun. She was able to see Gabriella Elise and Rochella Jalise and talk to them in person. They had distanced themselves from their mother's house and only communicated with her via telephone.



Soon after AJ was an elder member of the community, Arlen followed soon after. She convinced the girls to come over for a small family get together but Kevin was ruining the party. The girls barely spoke to him and he made a huge scene and they left. Arlen couldn't believe that he had ran her daughters off and his reply was that "they aren't my problem to deal with." We wanted to kick his behind when we heard this!



Arlen decided to confront Kevin and he was livid! He couldn't believe she thought she was in a position to talk to him like that. She was just his wife after all. Arlen was finally seeing that she had made a huge mistake and didn't know how she was going to get out of this awful situation.



Arlen's dad was not happy with how his only daughter was being treated. He couldn't believe the audacity of this guy! He was nothing before he met Arlen but a lowly intern trying to make it in the business world.....the car he drove was Arlen's as was the house he was living in! If they divorceed he would have nothing! He was an absolute idiot and Daniel decided he was going to let him know it!



But Kevin didn't want to hear it, he didn't think the old man should be butting into his marriage and told him it wasn't any of his business. He told him that he needed to leave his house and not come around anymore. Daniel kindly pointed out that the house belonged to Arlen and as long as his daughter wanted him around he would be there for her. We all knew something had to be done before something awful happened in that house.



Daniel went to Arlen and told her that she needed to get out of there. She insisted she wasn't going to leave her own house but promised her father that she would take care of everything soon and that she would be ok.



By this time Eliza Ambrel was a child and knew what was going on between her parents. She couldn't understand why her dad would act like that or why he was so mad all the time. She really wanted her parents to work it out so they could be a happy family like before.



While all this drama was going on, Angela had grown into a very beautiful young adult and had joined her cousins at Sim State University. Kyler Dewayne wanted to take sometime off before going off to college. Much to Damien's dismay, Angela and her boyfriend Kyoshi Curtin ended up at the same college and even the same dorm!



Angela fit right in with the twins and my Kasha and the girls all loved being around each other.....wish one of them would have prepared me for the bomb my lovely little Kasha was going to drop on me!!



Kyoshi really cared for Angela and hoped that they had what it took to make it.....college can be really hard on a relationship.....I mean you're meeting new people and trying new things and he really wanted things to work out with her. He thought she was wonderful.....I mean she's my niece of course she is!!!



And little Jayla was also growing up into a beautiful young lady. Jordan and Damien had a party at the family house and everyone came out to celebrate......they were thrilled at a chance to get Angela to come home!



And she was a beautiful teen! Jayla had aspirations to be a model and looked everyday for pageants to enter to get her name out there. Jordan told her that no matter what happened with modeling, her behind was going to be in school somewhere!



Ah my beautiful Kasha......hmph too bad she wasn't too smart! I get a call from my baby girl stating that she had some news I wouldn't be too happy about......my first thought was my God she is pregnant. Of course she then assured me she wasn't pregnant and I let out a sigh of relief....after all who would she be pregnant by? I soon found out.....Kasha had dropped out of school and was shacking up with a grown man she had met by the name of Craig Ray....AJ alerted me that Craig was once his neighbor before Aiden had moved in.....I thought Anna was gonna die! She was so upset when she heard.



This little shack is where her and the loser lived....ok maybe I'm being a little harsh but my daughter dropped out of school without telling me! Craig was in education.....well wait that makes it sound like he was really doing something....he was a freaking playground monitor! And Kasha didn't have a job or a degree! She claimed to be in love....I asked her why we had never met him and she said she was afraid we would judge him....hell yea we would judge him, sentence, and condemn him to an eternal exit from our daughter's life!



I looked up at the house and wondered, my God where did I go wrong?
