(Chapter Two) Starting a Family of My Own

Fresh out of college I couldn't wait to start my life. Man, did I pick hideous clothes to do it in, or what??? (Believe it or not, it took me a while to change them, too. lol)

I immediately began to work on starting my career. Luckily I quickly found a job in my desired profession, Journalism. (I don't remember what he started out at but it was fairly high up.)

I had earned enough extra money at SSU to build a somewhat small, but comfortable home. It wasn't much but I was definitely far better off than some horror stories I'd heard of freshly graduated Sims living on their lawns. I couldn't imagine...

I quickly impressed my boss and became a Media Magnate in no time. I was saving money and looking forward to asking Suzanne to be my Bride.

Without wasting any time I called Suzanne and asked her to dinner at the finest restaurant in town - Londoste. I placed the recently purchased box on the table. (I guess it couldn't have been to fine - looks like they forgot to pay their heating bill because Mark NEVER took off his winter wear!)

Suzanne had a look of surprise on her face.

"Oh Mark! It's so beautiful!!!"

She put it on her finger and exclaimed, "YES! YES! YES! Of course I'll marry you!"

Full of love and hope we toasted to the life we were just beginning.

Suzanne and I had a small but intimate ceremony. We invited our closest friends from college and of course I'd invited my Urele-Oresha-Cham brothers.

Everyone was so happy for us. They couldn't have been as happy as me. The whole day was filled with promise.

Suzanne had gotten everything she'd dreamed of. I couldn't imagine her looking more beautiful.

What a happy day! Everything was so perfect and we had so much to look forward to. We were married... how soon before we expanded our family? Only time would tell...
