I've decided to go ahead and end the story (tear). I have alot of Eliza Ambel's story already done and want to catch up on that. I'm not leaving the Taylors, but I want to concentrate more on them individually. The blog in my signature is a link to blogs written by each individual Taylor member. So if you have a favorite that you would like to follow, that's the place to do it......Thanks to those of you who have followed my story! Look out for Eliza's story, "How to Deal".

This is written a few years after the last entry.



I know that I haven't been writing but alot has been going on and I haven't had the time to chronicle it all. But let me catch you up. Dad is a little better now. He's more active and isn't as down as he was before. This helps my mom out alot because it was hard trying to take care of him by herself. I'm still trying to get them to move in with me and Kelly.



AJ and Arlen sold their house and are now living in an apartment in Bluewater Village. To see those two together, you would never know they had any problems at all! They've settled in nicely and go out on dates almost every night. Their evenings are spent playing with their grandchildren.



Jordan and Damien moved into the same apartment complex as AJ and Arlen. Kyler Dewayne is now living in the family house. They felt it was time to move out and let the next generation have the house.



Jayla has started her own sorority, Hoh Fruhm, and is busy finishing up her last year of school and running the house. She still models and plans to get into entertainment once she graduates. So be on the lookout, I think she's going to really go places!



She talked Eliza Ambrel into moving into the house and becoming a co-founder. Eliza changed from Sim State to Acadamie Le Tour to help Jayla out and she will be the head of the house once Jayla graduates. They currently have 7 members and 3 pledges, so they are well on their way to becoming a great sorority house!



Kasha's new photo studio idea turned out pretty well. Seems that people really like having their portraits taken. She's glad that it worked out and my mom is just happy that Kasha didn't run the business she spent years building into the ground! Her husband Craig is now dean of students at Sim State University and they are finally living comfortably.



Their son Tyler has grown into a handsome teen and is really interested in science. I think that he's going to be very successful. He has a great work ethic and excellent grades. Me and Kelly are trying to use our pull to get him into private school. He deserves and would appreciate it.



His sister Christa on the other hand isn't doing so well. Oh, she has good grades but she is a handful! She's just like Kasha when she was a teen. She's been dating this boy who's in college and she thinks her parents don't know about it. I just hope she can get it together before she gets hurt. What would a guy in college want with a teenage girl?



Gabriella Elise and Taj got married and she has never been happier. It's really wonderful that things worked out for her in the end. Since meeting his father, her son Matthew is alot nicer to Taj and the tension that was in the house has left. Taj is now an intern at the Bella Goth Memorial Hospital and Gabby still has her soccer team.



Matthew has grown into a handsome young man who has an interest in engineering. He talks to his father Clay all the time now and hopes that they can continue to have a relationship. He's accepted that his mom loves Taj and is much more cordial to him.



Madison grew up to look just like her mother. It's really amazing! She loves Taj and doesn't really talk to Clay as much as her brother. She is very family oriented and can't wait to have a family of her own one day.



Gabriella and Taj recently welcomed a baby boy, Kayden Erikson. He's a cute little guy who takes alot after his father. Gabby knew that Taj loved Madison and Matthew, but wanted a child of his own and she didn't want him to have to sacrifice that just because he married a woman with children.



Rochella Jalise's daughter Amara is still as happy and excited as she always has been. She's an excellent student and really likes going to school. That probably won't last very long but it's cute for now!



RJ has opened a second RJ Taylor store in Pleasantview and has been pretty busy. But not too busy to have another baby! Her and Donte welcomed little Arlena McGaw into the world not too long ago. It's hard to balance time between 2 stores, 2 kids, and a husband but RJ does it beautifully.



Angela and Kyoshi are still happily married. Kyoshi is the chief of staff at Bella Goth Memorial Hospital and Angela is still running her flower shop, Flowers by Angela, and has a very busy modeling career.



They decided the time was right to have kids and Angela gave birth to Katelyn Curtin. She is a very energetic little girl who loves to play soccer.



They recently also had another baby, Rayne Curtin. I guess you could say we've had a bit of a baby boom! The next generation looks very promising, I must say.



Kyler Dewayne asked his longtime girlfriend, Zoe Gonzalez, to move into the family house with him. Guess we'll be having another wedding pretty soon. She's a really nice girl and I think that she will be a good wife for him.



As for my family, my daughter Fallon is attending Acadamie Le Tour and is majoring in political science. She just recently joined Jayla's sorority and will be moving to the sorority house as soon as there is an opening. She's only been there one semester, but she has already made the Dean's List! We are so proud!



My wife Kelly is still heavily involved in witch craft and is now an infallibly good witch. Surprisingly, her paranormal store, Bewitching, has been a big hit and she is slowly building up a client base.



My son CJ is now a teen and is very mechanical. He bought an old junk car and me and him work on it together almost every day. He's still doing well in school and is even thinking of getting an after school job. He plays alot of video games and me and Kelly refuse to buy him anymore!



And me? Well I'm just happy that for the most part my family is happy. We've all been through alot, but in the end, things never fell apart and we've always remained a close family. As I near my elder years and look back over our history, both the more current events and the things that happened before I was even born, I can see that we are really a strong family. Thank you so much for taking a peek into the lives of the Taylors. For anyone who may read this after I'm gone, always remember that through drama, lies, laughter, love: through it all we are still family!
