Location: Cleveland, OH
DH: Eric Joel Moore (wavy brown hair, brown eyes)(police officer)(23)
DW: Micaela Roselyn (Elliot) Moore (wavy red hair, brown eyes)(pastry chef)(22)
Eric and Micaela were married six weeks ago. They met sixteen years ago, when Micaela's family moved to Cleveland. Eric grew up there. He followed his father's footsteps and graduated from the police academy a few years ago. Micaela took some classes at the community college and has loved baking for as long as she can remember. She is employed as a pastry chef for a small specialized pastry business. The two of them are living in a studio apartment in downtown Cleveland, but are saving up to move into a townhome in a nicer area.
Year 1: career--pay raise
Location: Cleveland, OH
DH: Eric Joel Moore (wavy brown hair, brown eyes)(police officer)(24)
DW: Micaela Roselyn (Elliot) Moore (wavy red hair, brown eyes)(pastry chef)(23)
Eric has been working hard over the past few years, and got a pay raise this year as well as some extra responsibilities at the station. It isn't an official promotion, but he and Micaela are enjoying the extra money--they nearly have enough for that townhouse!
Year 2: fired/laid off/quit
Location: Cleveland, OH
DH: Eric Joel Moore (wavy brown hair, brown eyes)(police officer)(25)
DW: Micaela Roselyn (Elliot) Moore (wavy red hair, brown eyes)(unemployed)(24)
Micaela lost her job this year when the pastry shop she worked for went out of business. She is actively looking for another position, but is also enjoying trying out some new recipes on her own. Though money is a little tight, Eric and Micaela still manage to set aside some money towards that townhouse--which they're hoping to purchase once Micaela lands a new job.
Year 3: pay cut/hours cut
Location: Cleveland, OH
DH: Eric Joel Moore (wavy brown hair, brown eyes)(police officer)(26)
DW: Micaela Roselyn (Elliot) Moore (wavy red hair, brown eyes)(self-employed)(25)
Micaela looked for a long time, but has been unable to find a new full time job. She has, however, opened her own pastry business, which she runs out of their tiny kitchen. She gets a few orders each week, and is starting to branch out into the wedding business. Eric's job at the police station is more stable, and he is up for promotion to lieutenant next year, if all goes well.
