Hair: Blonde

Job: EnvironmentalistLocation: Vancouver, CanadaYear 1- Random
Mike and I are currently living in Vancouver, Canada while I work on a team to help rescue and relocate wildlife that are caught in the wild fire that is currently raging in the nearby forests. Firefighters are doing their best to put an end to it, but in the meantime it is up to the team of conservation environmentalists to help the save the wildlife. Vancouver is a beautiful city and it's so nice that Mike works from home doing web design so he can travel with me. I've been very busy with work, but I have been able to enjoy the city a bit. We're not sure how long we will be staying. We've rented an apartment and are prepared to stay as long as we need to. I've also been busy working on raising money and getting volunteers to help out while we are here. It's wonderful to see so many people join the cause and help out!Year 2- Move
After a year long stay in Vancouver, Canada, Mike and I are moving to Brazil. We are both very excited to live in such an interesting and beautiful place! I've been given the opportunity to work with a research team studying different endangered bird species while in Brazil. We found a nice condo in Rio de Janeiro that is close to the beach. I can't wait to relax on the beach, but I am mostly excited about working with such an awesome research team and learning about the amazing birds in Brazil so we can better protect them!Year 3- Birth
Mike and I are currently laying in bed staring at our beautiful new daughter. We weren't planning on starting a family yet, but we were both very happy when I found out that I was pregnant. My pregnancy went very well and I enjoyed every minute of it! I had some morning sickness, but as soon as that went away it was wonderful. All of the friends we've made over the past year were so excited for us and some of the girls on the team I work with threw me a baby shower.

This year something suprising has happened. Some unknown relative of DH died and together with a large amount of money we also inherited a cannabis plantage from him. Oh dear...Year 3:
We really needed a vacation so we decided to spend inheritance money on family trip around the world. In the end we decided that we won't be bothering with going all around the world, instead of this we stayed in Japan because we liked it so much. Year 4:
DH and I presented our daughter with a trip to a theme park as her birthday gift. She loved it!Year 5:
I got sick of my job and because money is not a problem (inheritance money + cannabis business going so well) I decided to quit. Year 6:
We have moved to a Kangaroo Island. Now we are surrounded with kangaroos, koalas and other stuff.

I fully intended to stop at 20 years, but I was having too much fun. :P I finally stopped (with a huge family) at 26. I'm hoping I didn't mess up the ages somewhere along the line.DH: Greyson Kai Winchester

Ellie and I met as freshmen in college when we were put on the same team for the orientation activities. We later discovered we were in the same math class as well. We got talking, and it didn’t take long for us to hit it off. I proposed to her our senior year, but we decided to wait until after graduation to get married. We were married last year, and the birth of our baby girl this year marked the start of many new adventures. Lucia Honor Winchester, pronounced loo-SEE-ah, has a mass of curly black hair and brown eyes. She looks just like her mama.DH: Greyson Kai Winchester [25]
DW: Ellie Krysina Winchester [25]
DD: Lucia Honor Winchester [nb]Year 2
This year, we decided to move. I got transferred to a different hospital because ours had plenty of doctors and nurses, but St. Joseph’s was highly understaffed. St. Joseph’s was a bit too far to drive to every day, so we moved to a new house closer to the hospital.DH: Greyson Kai Winchester [26]

We had another baby girl this year. Laura Amelia has straight brown hair and brown eyes. She looks a lot like her mum and her sister, but her hair is a few shades lighter.DH: Greyson Kai Winchester [27]

Ellie and I decided to adopt a child this year. The 13-year-old twins are from Liberia. We fully intended to adopt someone closer to Lucia’s age, but Ellie really fell in love with Miata Sia and Kollie Saa. The twins’ first names honor their mother’s tribe, and their middle names honor their father’s tribe. Sadly, their father abandoned them when they were ten, and their mother died when they were eleven because of insufficient medical care. Both children have very dark skin, black eyes, and coarse black hair.

DH: Alton Jerome
Hair: Red, straight
Eyes: Blue
Job: ActorDW: Julia Vianne
Hair: Brown, curly
Eyes: Blue
Job: Writer
Year One: Alton and I moved to England after college and marriage. He acts in the theater and had gotten a part in a West End production of Les Miserables. I got a job in a publishing company doing editing work, which allowed me to spend much of my time at home and gave me time to work on my own writing career. The time at home also came as a real blessing when I discovered that I was pregnant! Our daughter was born shortly before our first anniversary, a beautiful girl with her father’s bright red hair and my bright blue eyes and freckles. We named her Lily Cathleen, after our mothers. Both of our families came from the States to be there for her birth and first week, and we settled into our new roles as parents eagerly.Year Two: The novel I had been working on for several years was finally done, and after submitting it to more publishers than I cared to think of, it was finally picked up. It was such a proud moment to finally fulfill the dream I’d had since I was little. I was able to give up my job editing, and moving from editor to writer was such a thrill. I loved being able to be home with Lily almost all of the time, and when I had to do a bit of publicity or business, I can always count on Alton to take Lily to work with him; the actors playing young Cosette and Gavroche both adore her!Year Three: During a brief publicity tour in New York for my book, my mother called me to tell me my maternal grandmother Samantha had died.

Stephanie and I have been married for 3 months now. :) Our wedding was beautiful, with all of our friends and family there. We had an evening ceremony at a gorgeous garden an hour outside of Sydney. There were string lights, lanterns, and candles everywhere and a small orchestra playing. We both wore handmade gowns that we had to preorder 18 months in advance! But they were beautiful and Stephanie looked gorgeous! It has been 3 months already, but our apartment is still packed with wedding gifts that we haven't found a place for yet! After our honeymoon in Bali, I gave Steph a wedding present from me. :) An adorable little Chinchilla that we named Ozzie. She has wanted a Chinchilla since she was little and was so surprised and excited when I showed him to her! We have both started back at work again, which was hard after spending two amazing weeks in Bali. I do love my job at the hospital though and missed my coworkers. I work on the pediatric floor, which can be hard at times but also very rewarding. Stephanie is a chef at her friend's French style cafe. She is an amazing cook and I think she would love for us to move to France someday! Year 2- Birth (Stephanie)
Kelsi and I just welcomed our beautiful new baby girl into our lives. After we were married last year we both knew we wanted to start a family. We both love children and hope to have a big family. We looked into several different options, but in the end decided to use my egg and a sperm donor and Kelsi would carry our baby. Her pregnancy was such a special time for us and all of our friends and family are so happy for us.

In 2012...DH (24): Nathan Travis Bledsoe
- straight brown hair, blue eyes
- chef
DW (21): Jill Clover Atwood
- wavy brown hair, hazel eyes
- actorJill Atwood and Nathan Bledsoe are Americans working in Japan who meet, fall in love, and marry. Nathan is a chef in an American-style restaurant, and Jill is an actress on a Japanese soap opera. In 2012, they move back to the United States, to the little town in Maine near where Nathan grew up. In 2013, the restaurant where Nathan works burns down, and they have to move again. This time, they opt for a big city, and pick St. Louis, where Jill goes to Washington University to earn her degree--finally. In 2014, she graduates with a degree in history. In 2015, they adopt their first child, a 10-year-old boy from Kazakhstan, named Miras. He has wavy black hair and brown eyes. They add Asher as a first name, but still mostly call him Miras. In 2016, they take a family trip to England. In 2017, Jill gets ill with cancer, and quits her job as a history teacher. She recovers and in 2018, they adopt again. This time it's a 14-year-old girl from Colombia named Ester Concepción. She is mestiza, with straight black hair and black eyes. In 2019, to let the kids soak up some Americana, they take a family road trip to Virginia, and ride the roller coasters at Busch Gardens. In 2020, they take a fascinating trip to Mexico City, where they visit the zoo. Ester serves as their translator. In 2021, they celebrate Jill's 30th birthday with a weekend-long bash for lots of friends and family. In 2022, Jill gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl, who could not look any less identical. Though they both have brown eyes, the boy, Calvin Donald, has curly black hair, while the girl, Nola Chrysanth, has straight blonde hair. In 2023, they take a family trip to China. But in 2024, Nathan loses his job, and the family moves to New Mexico, where they open up a little hobby ranch with horses. In 2025, they adopt a 3-year-old Ethiopian boy named Alem Neh, who they call Ali. He has curly black hair and bright black eyes. In 2026, they take a family trip to Alagoas, Brazil, where they spend a few weeks lounging on the beach. In 2027, Nathan's beloved mother dies.

Hi, my name is Nolene Alysia Hoffman. I live in Brazil with my husband Titus. We go married just last December, so this is the first year of our marriage. This year, I got laid off as my job as a Police Officer. Not a good way to start our marriage. Oh well, now I can get more done at home. We haven't even started unpacking yet!

Year 2
This year we decided to start a family by adopting. We were orignally going to adopt a baby, but we got the opertunity to adopt an older child, so we took it.

Ella has been adjusting very well and is loving it here in Brazil.DH: Titus Yadon (27)

This year, we took a huge family vacation. We met up with my two sisters, their husbands' and children and went to Africa. Everyone had a great time. Ella's favorite part was going on a safari and meeting her cousins. She quickly bonded with her cousin Alice, who is only a year older than her. The worst part of the trip for her was not being able to take Aviva.DH: Titus Yadon (29)

Yeah I'm cool with some things being changed to make it actually make sense. Occassionally I do that if it makes everything fit together and the longer you go the more will probably have to be changed.
