To keep my site updated I was planning to build a ton of lots and then set them to release slowly over the next few months till such time as we are settled on the other side. Unfortunately after completing 3 lots (and before saving them!) my computer has died without any warning and since we are leaving soon we have decided not to replace it. Now I am working from my laptop with is great for getting on the net and my work but not really not set up to run the sims2. I am hoping to still be able to get a few lots done on the laptop but they will have to be base game only as that is all I can run on here (although I want to try uni and see if I can get it to work) :-) Anyway, this is the start of a new adventure for our family and we are all very excite (and stressed at at this point) but I am very glad to know that no matter where in the world I go I will still be able to keep contact with everyone here on TSR.

I was extremely spoiled by my very special Secret Santa, Evi, whom I have admired for ages for all her amazing kids creations! She created a set of special Christmas PJs for the sim version of my real kids :-) They are over the moon with 'their' PJs and I just love it! Thank you so much for this amazing gift I will always treasure it. I hope you all had a magical Christmas and that 2008 will be full of excitement, love and peace for everyone!

Since then our house has seemed extremely empty without her following me around all day long. Initially I was not interested in getting another dog as I did not want to ‘replace’ her, however my kids have been begging us to reconsider and I could see how much they needed a puppy to love and play with. My husband and I eventually agreed and after many hours of research we decided on getting a Dalmatian puppy. We were very lucky to find a lady selling pups just around the corner from where we stay and when we went to look at them I just fell in love with a little lady that has one blue eye and one brown. Needless to say she came home with us the same night. We have named her Blue and she has settled beautifully. She has already been for her first set of inoculations, chewed up all the fingers and toes in the house and stolen the hearts of everyone she comes into contact with. I had Dals growing up and know how excitable they can be so we have already found a local puppy school and will be taking her for training early in the new year. Welcome home Blue!

Recently I posted Waves Edge Apartments and the Lost City Resort. I'm currently working on a sea side village and a mountain lodge. I hope you are all having fun with BV!
