Help[Games] neondaisies' Year Game (6/24)
Welcome to my first game under my new posting name! This posting name will be my permanent one.
This is my take on an old favorite- the year game! If you'd like, you can continue the same family each time I post. I'll be posting this year game with minor changes approximately every two days. Enjoy!
For the nationality/ethnicity/country of birth for each parent, use this website: https://www.randomlists.com/random-country?qty=1&dup=false
Choose a city from that country to base your family in.
For looks, you can either choose hair texture/color and eye colors that match the ethnicity/country, or you can use this website
http://www.generatorland.com/usergenerator.aspx?id=20110
For Career, use this site
https://www.randomlists.com/random-jobs?qty=1&dup=false
You choose the parents name, ages, and genders.

I just want to say that I love this game! There's another forum I am on, and I did it many times on there.
I'm going to do 15 years, as that's how I have played it.

DH: Anton Vincent Kohler {22}
DW: Larissa Odette {nee Hakiza} Kohler {22}
Anton is a 5th Grade Elementary School Teacher from Germany. He moved to Alberta, Canada to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Teaching. While there, he met Larissa (a Statistician), who is from Burundi (which is in Africa). They became study partners, and later started dating. In their Junior year, Anton proposed to Larissa, in which she said yes. Anton has wavy, blonde hair and hazel eyes, while Larissa has black hair and brown eyes. Soon after Anton and Larissa graduated, they got married, and settled down not far from their University.

YEAR 1:
DH: Anton Vincent Kohler {23}
DW: Larissa Odette {nee Hakiza} Kohler {23}
It has been a year since Anton and Larissa were married, and things seemed to be going pretty well. They were both settled into their jobs and their love for each other seemed to be growing each day. One late evening while grading papers at school, Anton receives a phone call from Germany. His mother passed away. He was shocked. His mother wasn't even sick. Anton notifies Larissa, and after he informs his boss, he is on the next flight out of the country. He is gone for a month.

W (26): Mirela Ylli (Shehu) Andrist
Daniel is an architect from Switzerland with light blonde, smooth straight hair and grey eyes. Mirela, an elementary school teacher, is Albanian and has dyed black frizzy curls with green eyes. They met when Mirela came to study at university in Geneva, where they now live together.
Year 1 – 8 Career event
Aged 31 & 27
Mirela has shifted her job to a new– albeit related–field where her passions for language and helping children led her to become a speech-language pathologist.
Year 2 – 4 Pet event
Aged 32 & 28
Daniel and Mirela decided to get a dog, which they named Lilou. She is around 25 lbs. mixed breed with sandy brown, straight-haired coat and green eyes.

H (33): Daniel Christoph Andrist
W (29): Mirela Ylli (Shehu) Andrist
S1 (dec unb): Christoph Bashkim Andrist
The couple had been trying for two years to have a child, but tragically they suffered the miscarriage of their son at 22 weeks. They decided to name him Christoph Bashkim, after his father and an Albanian middle name meaning “together”.
Year 4 – 8 Career event
Aged 34 & 30
Mirela has been having a difficult time since last year’s loss, and left her full-time job as a speech-language pathologist, channeling her emotions into art. She has had unexpected success with her new creative job, selling a few pieces to friends. One caught the eye of a collector who encouraged her to build her portfolio in hopes to get her work in a studio, which she’s looking forward to as a goal.

DH: Emiel Leonard Van Laren (Belgium)(straight blond hair, blue eyes)(web developer)(24)
DW: Dania Malak (Kamau) Van Laren (Somalia)(straight black hair, brown eyes)(personal care aide)(22)
Emiel and Dania met eighteen months ago when Emiel spent a semester studying abroad in England, where Dania's family moved when she was seven. Dania was working in her father's Somali restaurant, and Emiel went with some friends to try the cuisine. He was struck by Dania's beauty and returned weekly for the rest of the semester. Before returning to his hometown of Ghent, Belgium, he made plans to see Dania a few months later. The two communicated via phone and email until he went to visit. Emiel knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Dania, and she felt the same way. The pair decided to get married. Fortunately, Dania's parents could see how smitten she was with Emiel, and agreed to the union. The two were married in England in a Somali ceremony, then returned to Belgium, where they were married in Emiel's boyhood church during a second ceremony. Emiel graduated from college and now works as a web developer. Dania, though she graduated from high school, did not go to college, but spent a number of years working in her father's restaurant. She now has a job as a personal care aide at a nursing facility.
Year 1: Career Event: New Job in New Field
Location: Ghent, Belgium
DH: Emiel Leonard Van Laren (Belgium)(straight blond hair, blue eyes)(web developer)(25)
DW: Dania Malak (Kamau) Van Laren (Somalia)(straight black hair, brown eyes)(waitress)(23)
Emiel and Dania's first year of marriage has been a little rocky for both of them--integrating their two cultures has been more difficult than either of them imagined; however, they are starting to figure out what works for them. Dania decided to take a new job as a waitress--she just didn't enjoy some aspects of her previous job, and wanted something in an industry she was familiar with. She found a job waitressing at a small, upscale restaurant, and has enjoyed it much more than her previous position.
