My Hopes and Dreams

1693 Mario is getting so big. We needed to add on to the house to prepare to move him out of the nursery. We've now live in a real live castle. Complete with towers! I took pictures, but am still waiting for them to be developed. 1691 The new baby arrived and it's another boy that we named Mario. Guess there won't be any frilly pink dresses in this household. 1690 The boys are getting big. I didn't realize there was that many years between them and the new baby, which should be coming any year now. As I predicted, Benji took them fishing just as soon as they were big enough to hold a pole. 1686 Bud (L) and Brendon (R) have a growth spurt. 1683 It's a boy! Both of them, Bud and Brendon. Twins were a bit of a surprise, but Benji is just tickled pink. He's already planning to teach them to fish. 1679 Benji and I finally got married. We had a wonderful reception. Lily and Tyron both came. Benji didn't invite any of his family for some reason. And then a couple months later, I became a business tycoon! 1677 Not much going on here. Mostly just working and skilling for promotions. Benji had a little pond dug on the property. He likes to fish, finds it relaxing I guess. Personally I don't see the thrill in manhandling a slimy thrashing fish. 1674 I'm an aunt! How cool is that? I guess that would give a jump start to most women's biological clocks. But I'm in no rush. Benji and I would like to have a big wedding, but our work schedules have been pretty hectic. It's been hard to set a date for when we both have time off from work. 1672 Dad went to join mom in heaven. Guess Cherry has been giving poor Tyron one headache after another. I've been seeing quite a lot of Benjamin. We never go to his place, he always comes here. I finally told him that as much time as he spends here, there's not much point in paying rent on his apartment. He agreed to move in with me. 1671 Finally graduated was starting to think college would never end. I bought a nice piece of property about a block from Tyron. It's hillier than I had realized. But I had a nice stone house, with a walk-out basement built on it. 1668 School is going ok. I don't get straight A's but I'm not on academic probation either. All the boys here seem so immature. I ran into Benjamin Long, a friend of daddy's. I had met him before I left for college. Benji and I have become quite close. 1665 College is kind of scary. I was hoping to be in the same dorm as Tyron so I'd know atleast one person. The kids seem nice enough here. I recognize a few from school, but most come from a city named Dormtown. 1661 I started working on the school yearbook. Next thing I knew, I had reached the top of my career and offered a special scholarship. I started studying hard so that I could add more scholarships to my college fund.
