Welcome

This is my blog madeover to include other residents of Pleasantview as I try my hand at running it from their point of view.

There is a bit of strategic nudity occasionally and I write as I feel the sims would talk so there is also "adult language." (that makes me laugh.....so how adult am I?) Anywho, you've been warned!

Major Changes

There have been quite a few changes in the Curtin household lately. I have decided to give up my modeling. Not completely, I'll still do ads for RJ's boutique and for things around Pleasantview, but I will no longer be traveling. I'm going to work in my flower shop and concentrate on my kids. Katelyn will be a teen soon and Rayne is growing faster everyday and is having a birthday today. So I think it's just for the best.
Katelyn has been working very hard at school and at soccer. Me and Kyoshi are very proud of her and we hope she keeps it up once she goes to high school.
Flowers by Angela is really doing well now that I have the time to give it the attention it deserves. People come from all over to get one of my arrangements. Even RI's husband Donte shops in my store! And with PV Heights being developed, soon there will be a whole slew of new customers coming in.
I sold a snapdragon arrangement to a nice young lady and it turns out she's an undercover reporter. She's given my business a good review and it will be written up in an article for the Daily View!
I really love this store. My dad bought it for me when I was still in college and I worked on it whenever I wasn't modeling. I think I can get it all the way to the top if I continue working as hard as I have. It may be alittle hard with Kyoshi working so much at the hospital. I never wanted my kids to be raised by a nanny so I may have to stay home a little more until Rayne starts school.
My cousin Aiden Taylor came by today. We were all saddened by the passing of his mom. Aunt Anna was a nice woman. He has convinced his dad to move in with him and they bought a smaller house in Carson City with a greenhouse that his dad could work in. They no longer needed the big house since their son CJ has gone off to college. I hope it all works out for them!
I invite Jayla over to help us celebrate Rayne's birthday. She brings over her live in boyfriend Nicholas McArthur. He seems like a nice guy, just a bit full of himself. Jayla is a model and she doesn't look in the mirror at herself as much as he does!
They head straight for our hottub and start making out! I tell them that Katelyn would be home soon and she didn't need to see her Aunt Jayla sucking face with her boyfriend! Ugh, they're still in that silly "new love" phase where all they want to do is makeout!
Katelyn got her first A+ today and she is so excited! She's going to be smart just like her father. Maybe she'll even want to be a doctor like him too!
Jayla gets out of the hottub just in time and we talk about how we need to have a family reunion. I mean we haven't all been together since KD's wedding and that was some time ago. Plus a wedding isn't really a family reunion. We need to rent out a park and barbeque and just let the kids run around and play and just have fun! I need to talk to mom about getting everyone together.......
Katelyn brought home one of her little friends from school. I honestly can't remember her name but she's a nice kid. Katelyn's also been hanging out with her cousin Arlena as well. It's nice that she has someone her own age to play with. Kyoshi now comes home in a limo which I think is a bit much for a doctor, but the hospital insists on sending it for him.
My mom painted this portrait of me and my dad at my wedding. It's beautiful isn't it? She stopped by and gave it to me and I immediately hung it on my wall. It was such a happy and special day.......I will always remember marrying Kyoshi.......
Jayla is the perfect aunt! She loves spending time with her nieces. I asked her about having kids of her own and she said she can't wait to be a mom, but that her and Nic aren't ready for kids yet. She's still getting use to living with him! I think that she may be having second thoughts about him, but I could be wrong........
Oh, I love this man! Kyoshi has always been my rock. He's been there through the long trips overseas when I was modeling. He's been there through seeing me up on billboards around town. He's even been there when I was fat and pregnant and complaining all the time! No matter what I look like or what I choose to do, Kyoshi is always there for me. And I love him for it.
It's Rayne's big day and my little girl is growing up! It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with her and talking to her through my stomach! Now she's here and she's growing so fast!
Jayla had to leave before Rayne and me blew out her candles. Nic works as a professional party guest and so he has to show his face in all the clubs around town on a regular basis. I gave her a hug and told her to come back and visit by herself so we could talk.
Geez, Rayne looks just like her dad! Darn it, both girls look like Kyoshi.....I'm the one who carried them! Ugh, no matter, she's still a cutie pie.
As Katelyn and Kyoshi discuss how Arlena is now Katelyn's bestfriend, I look around the table and take in just how lucky I am. I thought I would be sad about not modeling anymore, but surprisingly, I am content with my life right now. And hopefully that won't change.

Getting Back to Work

So once Katelyn's party was busted up by the police (silliest thing I ever saw!), we all got into bed and went to sleep. Katelyn was a bit tuckered out from her party I guess because this morning she barely made it to school!

Since he's now chief of staff at the hospital, Kyoshi goes to work in a suit that looks like it came straight from Miami Vice! But he still looks handsome to me. I miss them both so much when they're gone. Before I got pregnant, I was gone too. I was either at a shoot or at the flower shop.....now I just sit around here all day.......

I could clean up......but then what would the maid have to do? I'm not in the mood anyway.....This kid has been sitting on my bladder and I've been running to the bathroom every five minutes! I can't wait to give birth so he/she will have their own space!

I slept through the whole day and by the time I got up, Kyoshi and Katelyn were both home. Kyoshi helped Katelyn with her first homework assignment and I missed it because I was passed out on the couch.......ugh! He said it was just some simple math, but I still wanted to be there!

After eating we all got in the bed only to be awaken by our security alarm....some boob was robbing us! The police responded quickly and there was a fight but they caught the burglar in the end.....all the excitement seemed to be a bit too much for me because I went into labor!!

Soon Kyoshi was holding little Rayne Curtin in his arms.....I was exhausted and went to bed while he feed her and placed her in her crib.....she's beautiful and she too has Kyoshi's eyes just like Katelyn....She's also the last baby we're having! I think two kids pretty much rounds out the Simerican dream, don't you?

This morning I awoke to the sounds of a baby crying coming through the baby monitor......Mmmm, can't say that I miss the days when Katelyn did it. Now we get to start over with Rayne....Oh, well! She's too cute to be mad at!

Kyoshi and I have been trying to decided whether we should hire a nanny or not. I really do need to get back to work, but at the same time Rayne is so small.....a nanny would be better for the toddler years......but at the end of the day, I really DO need to get back to work....nanny it is!

As I'm waiting on the nanny to arrive, I still feel uneasy about leaving Rayne.....We got the same woman who kept Katelyn, so it's not like I don't know her....it's just I don't want Rayne developing an attachement to the nanny.....I want her to be attached to me! Selfish, huh?

Katelyn has fallen in love with soccer! One of her friends asked her to play one day and now she is on her school's team! She practices out in the backyard after school everyday. Kyoshi is estatic!
See, Kyoshi kinda wanted to have a little boy and since we had two girls instead, Katelyn playing soccer is the closest to being a sports dad as he is going to get! I feel a bit sorry for him.....but Katelyn is pretty good so Kyoshi still gets to cheer at games.

Kyoshi and I both love classical music and have gotten into the habit of playing after dinner. I'm trying to get Katelyn interested in the arts but she thinks classical music sounds awful! So I guess she won't be attending any operas with us!

For those of you wondering if I was able to get my body back and do the Twikki Beach ad, the answer is YES! Kyoshi almost has a heart attack when he saw the ad.....its great to have someone who sees you without the makeup and without the air brushing and they still think you're beautiful!

Baby on Board!

I've been eating.....alot! I'm guessing I'm pregnant and I'm kinda happy and kinda sad. I was going to get back into my modeling and running my flower shop once Katelyn was in school, but it seems those plans may be pushed back some more. I mean of course I have to be here with the baby.....if there is one.....guess I'll find out soon enough!

Kyoshi is very musically talented. If he isn't on the piano, he's playing the violin.....I'm sure Katelyn will be forced into lessons once she's older. He would be very happy to have a child prodigy!

So yea, there's a baby in there! Kyoshi is worried because he knew about my plans, but I'm not upset. I wanted another baby eventually, it just happened a little faster than what was expected. Kyoshi tries to hide it, but he's over the moon about the baby. He hopes that we have a boy this time.
He loves being a father! Katelyn is so spoiled because of him! All she wants is attention from him and she's happy. Her birthday is approaching fast, and I'm both happy and sad. I'm sad because my little girl is growing up, but happy because being pregnant is a job in itself without also taking care of a toddler!

I think that he will get his wish though. Katelyn plays on that xylophone all day long......I think she shares her dad's love of music......just another thing for them to bond over!

I'm trying not to over eat, but his kid is constantly hungry! And they seem to have a love of eggs! Kyoshi wants me to eat as much as the kid wants but I have to remind him that my job is being a model! I have to watch my figure!
I called up almost the whole family and invited them over for Katelyn's birthday party. She's our first child so she has to have a big party! I made sure that some of her cousins would be here too so that she will have some kids to play with.

I put her down for a nap before her big debut....she hates taking her naps, but she was exhausted! And I can take this time to work on my flower arrangements for the shop. I've been neglecting it and I need to get back to it.....but I'm not ready to give up modeling just yet.....

Making flower arrangements has always calmed me. And they're pretty! Kyoshi thinks I'm crazy for putting so much into flowers that he says will only live for a week at the most. But I told him that beauty is wonderful no matter how long it lasts!

Ok, so wow! Kyoshi is now the head doctor at the Bella Goth Memorial Hospital! I am so proud of him! With the money he makes, I can take some time off from modeling and get my flowershop back up and running.....but I still don't know if that's what I want to do.
Katelyn is growing up......can you believe it? My baby girl is growing up. Everyone we invited came to her party and it was great.....she was happy to see so many faces and to be the center of attention.
She still looks so much like Kyoshi......her and RJ's daughter Amara really hit it off. I'm glad that she has someone to tell her about how school is and to talk to about little girl things.......she'll soon have a brother or sister, but she needs companionship of her own age.
These pregnant feet were not about to stand in a kitchen so I ordered pizza for the party. As you can see, Donte and Craig decided to start the party off with some dancing.....no one had the heart to tell them they suck!
Gabriella Elise is also expecting another baby, so we sat around talking about how awful it was carrying extra weight, but how precious a little baby is. And of course eating pizza!

My mom was there of course. Katelyn's her first grandchild and she wouldn't have missed this party for the world. Her and dad are thinking about moving out of the family house so that KD can have it. He's next in line to inherit it and they feel weird living there with him. He has a girlfriend and they feel like they are intruding.

Of course KD and Kasha were also there.....their dance skills are a bit better than Donte and Craig's!

Gabby's husband Taj is working as an intern at BGMH and asked Kyoshi for some tips on how to become a full doctor quicker. Kyoshi told him that he just had to work hard and keep his skills up. Since Gabby was expecting, Taj was worried about the extra money they would spend. But Gabby own's her own female soccer team so I think they will be fine!
Isn't my sister beautiful? I hate her! I'm all fat and swollen and she looks just beautiful. She just got back from Takezimu Village from her shoot for A Pleasant View Travel Agency. I'm suppose to shoot their Twikki Island spread.....we'll see how that goes once the baby gets here.

Kyoshi, my poor husband......he also isn't the world's greatest dancer. I told him that once Katelyn becomes a teen, she'll be embarrassed by his awful dancing!

Katelyn loves her Aunt Jayla. They stood talking like this for a long time and Jayla is convinced that Katelyn is the smartest girl in the world.....I hope that holds true once she begins school.

RJ recently had her second baby and she looks great! Guess there's kind of a Taylor baby boom going on right now......I'm also suppose to be in her fashion show in a few months.....she's been talking about doing one but never got around to it.

Can you believe the cops came and busted up our party? I mean really, it was a child's birthday party, how loud could we have been? Oh well, at least Katelyn had a good time!
