Hi! And welcome to the Applewind Legacy. This is my first attempt at a legacy, so bear with me. The story is told from the perspective of each heir and when the heir becomes a teenager, the story-telling will be passed down to them. Oh and by the way, I don't follow ALL the rules. I follow most, but if it get really incovenient, I may cheat a little. But to all you strict legacy people out there, I am not keeping score because that wouldn't be fair.

I follow most, but if it get really incovenient, I may cheat a little. But to all you strict legacy people out there, I am not keeping score because that wouldn't be fair. Hi! My name is Rose Applewind. I am the the beginning of well, my legacy. I just moved to Legacy Falls and I'm excited to meet the people here. A little about me:

 Here my small, fairly pathetic house. I'm an optimistic gal, and I bought a huge lot so that all my children, grandbabies, great-grandbabies etc. will have a place to live! Needless to say, after the initial price, I had very little funds left over. This is the main room. Has my bed, bookcase, tiny fridge, counter and of course, my vital stereo. Oh, and of course the tiny bathroom. On with the story. Time to get a job. While I wait for the paper, I might as well get started on those skills. Especially cooking. I'd rather not have my tiny house burned to the ground. There's the man of the hour. Poor guy has to deliver in the rain. Oh well, he's bringing my future!
 Hey, I was just trying to make friendly conversation! Ok, let's see. Culinary, Journalism, or Adventurer? I chose culinary. All those cooking skills come in handy when raising a big family! And the friendly neighbours have arrived! I wonder if any of them are potential for romantic relationships... Ew. Oh well, there are other fish in the sea. With nothing to do until work, I dance the morning away... I'm off! Time to start rolling in those simoleons! Yay! Home from work with a promotion! On the first day! I love it when that happens. *does a little happy dance* Thankfully the promotion brought enough money for a shower! (the sink that was there is in the main room). I was feeling very grimy! Off to a community lot. I need a boyfriend ASAP! While I wait for the boys to arrive, I might as well enjoy myself. All day I saw quite a few hottie's, but none that I really hit it off with. I was dissapointed, but there would be more times I knew. A/N: I really don't like this guy. Neither does Rose. He was walking by and Rose said hi. He procceeded to enter Rose's house and she tried to send him away several times. He bragged and pranked her. And it led to this. Finally he left. I've discovered a new passion! Painting. I love it! And as a result, I brought home a promotion. I am now the Fast Food Shift Manager. This guy was walking by one day so I said hi. Actually, he's quite the catch. His name is Drake Curtin. We hung out for a while, and I think I may have caught him looking at me! I love the snow! It's so soft and fuzzy... Hey, what can I say, I love to dance! Hope I didn't scare him off... Ooops, don't know how that got in there. I guess the picture says it all. Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, I got promoted to Hostess. Yay! With the bonus, I bought a small garden. But I still find time to paint. And I also painted/floored the house! Looks a lot more homey now. I think it may be time. Shaking like mad, I got down on one knee and popped the question to Drake. He couldn't have been more pleased! Here's Drake after a major makeover. (I really didn't like his blonde hair.) He still needs new clothes though. ;)
Here's a bit about him.

This is a picture of the inside, which you probably can't see very well, but I think it looks great. Our first night together was like a dream (no pun intended). Don't worry, nothing too intimate until we're married. We went to the store to get Drake some much needed clothes. No! Put the pink shirt back and no one gets hurt! This is much more his style. While we were there, I also tried on some wedding gowns. I like this one. (Omigosh! What happened to my hair!!!) Much better! We'll take it. What, you don't like my cooking? Oh yeah, that's when I burnt the grilled cheese. You'd think I could cook now, being a hostess and all. Finally, the big day arrived. We had a small celebration, attended only by my friends Kennedy and Gilbert. I didn't think I could, but I got through my vows and finally slipped the ring on. Drake also did his vows and now we were finally married! Our first kiss as a married couple. I can't wait to start my life with him. Drake did a great toast to me. I love this guy! He may be shy, but he really has a talent for words. We of course had our fun as well. Now, joined by law, we were free to do whatever we wanted! You can leave now. Oh! I had no idea I was pregnant! I haven't been sick at all! Lucky me... I can't wait to tell Drake. Aren't I cute! I really lucked out on these clothes. When I told Drake I was pregnant, he didn't say anything, which got me worried. But then he hugged me and told me he loved me, all choked up. He was so cute! I awoke with the strange feeling that something was happening. I was suddenly struck with the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced. It was time. Drake had no idea what to make of it. Husbands are not help in this! But it was all worth it when I saw the bundle of joy in my arms. Meet Aurelie Applewind. My pride and joy. Isn't she just the cutest. I love her skintone. It is a perfect mix of mine and Drake's. I can's wait to see what colour her hair is. Judging by her eyebrows, it looks like it's dark like her daddy's. Drake is smitten. He cannot stop playing with her. Of course, I get my time too. After Aurelie was born, Drake and I decided we should renovate again. After all, we needed a nursery, and we had the money to expand. Here's the new layout. Aurelie has our old bedroom, and ours is right above it. To the left is the living room. We finally separated the living room from the kitchen (lower left). Our bathroom is above the kitchen. I love it! I love Drake. He's so funny. Every time I remind him to clean, he does a "yes" move like this or claps his hands. That's what neat people are like I guess. This girl needs her diaper changed CONSTANTLY. It's really crazy. I guess I should be thankful I didn't have twins. It was time for Aurelie's second birthday. Drake got the honours of bringing her to the cake. We were pumped. Drake "assisted" in the blowing out of the candles. Aurelie grew up! Isn't she adorable? Finally I can tell you more about her.
She takes after her daddy in so many ways.

We've got a live one on our hands! I got promoted to Prep Cook. I can only go up! Drake is so sweet, looking after Aurelie's every need. He dotes on her like you wouldn't believe. I love it. I was thrilled when Aurelie finally learned to say "Mommy". That same night, we were burgled! There was a huge fight and I got a front row seat. But the cop walked out without her man. She was so dejected! The little trickster brought her toy to the highchair! It was Aurelie's fifth birthday. We had a quiet party at home. As you can see, Aurelie was a little over-eager. We blew out the candles. Drake and I cheered her on as she grew. Into this beautiful young girl! After Aurelie grew up, Drake and I heated things up a little. While I was at work, Drake decided to go to the mall with Aurelie and get some new duds. She got to pick out what she wanted while Dad paid! She picked out a couple outfits and pyjamas. When I got home from work later, I found that Drake had left Aurelie with a nanny when he left for work. This made me laugh, because at the age of eight, Aurelie was capable of taking care of herself for two hours before I got home. At least she had some company. Aurelie may have gotten many things from her dad, but her love of snow was definetely from me. This penguin came by one day, and Aurelie went out to pet it. She is such an outgoing little girl! The other thing I love about my little girl is she is so playful and imaginative. She can have fun doing or with anything. Even the bathtub. And there we are! Another little one is on the way. If it's anything like Aurelie, we have many more happy times ahead. Aurelie just loves being outside. "Mommy, why is your tummy so big?" Aurelie asked me one day at lunch. "Oh, sweetie," I laughed. "I have a baby in my tummy." Aurelie thought about this for a moment and took another bite of her chili. "But Mommy, how did it get there? And how will it get out?" I smiled. "I will answer those questions when you get older, but babies are made when a mommy and a daddy love each other." Aurelie was dissapointed, but then cheered up. "You mean I'm going to have a little brother or sister?" "Yes, honey. In a few months, you will have a brother or a sister." "I think that's really awesome!" Aurelie said giving me a hug. She got a questioning look on her face as she stepped back. "Can I say hi?" She asked, pointing at my protruding stomach. "Yes," I nodded. She bent down and said quietly. "Hi in there. I'm your big sister Aurelie. I can't wait until you get here. I'm really excited. Come quick ok?" With that, Aurelie ran out to play. Aurelie finally had her first day of school. So many things came up so she didn't get to start until now. When she grew up, it was Friday, so she had Saturday and Sunday, and then Monday was a snow day. While Aurelie was at school, I continued to get bigger and bigger! When she came home, she was less than pleased to find that she still had to do her homework. I tried to help her, and by the end of the night she learned how to study. Christmas morning was upon us in a rush. Aurelie was so excited she woke up at 5:00. Drake and I dragged ourselves up just to humour her. Drake gave her the first gift, which was an easel. She had seemed interested in mine, but I always had a painting on it. So we got her one of her own to use whenever. Aurelie got me a pot of roses, I got Drake a telescope and he got me an apple tree. Drake was so hyped about the coming baby, he just couldn't stop talking about it! I settled down for an afternoon nap. Pregnancy is so tiring. When I got up for a bathroom trip (another luxury of pregnancy) I was hit with an awful pain in my stomach that almost brought me to my knees. No. Not now! Drake was at work and Aurelie was at school! "Drake!" I screamed, but the only sound was the echo of my own voice. I had no concept of time, only pain. Then it was all over. In my arms was a stunning young girl. This is Harmony Applewind. Isn't she the cutest thing? She has her daddy's hair and my eyes. Welcome to the world! After Harmony was born, we renovated again. We added a nursery and a rec room. The front room is now just a sitting room. That day, Aurelie came home with her first A-plus. She was thrilled. That girl is so smart, Drake and I have been talking about sending her to private school. Aurelie also got to meet her new sister. She was so funny, making faces, which cracked Harmony up. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. Aurelie has also taken an interest in gardening. I let her have half the garden for some tomatoes. Harmony has been a much more cranky baby. She is always crying. Just like he did with Aurelie, Drake dotes on Harmony to no end. It was time for Aurelie to grow up! With a few friends around, she blew out her candles. And grew up! She is now a beautiful girl. She chose to aspire to wealth and has the want to be chief of staff like her daddy! It was also Harmony's time to grow up. She became this lovely toddler. Here's a bit about her:

I get the feeling she is going to be quite the handful. But I understand now why she was so cranky. Now, it is time to pass the torch of story-telling to my daughter. I've loved telling you our story, and I'm sure she will do a terrific job of passing on her story. So long!

A/N: Hope you liked it! I will probably have the next part out in the next week or so.

    It was really good, but if can I give a few suggestions to make it a bit better..
    Well, for the pictures, I know that I would like it if they were a bit closer up(I never got to see the how pretty girls were up close!)
    Also, maybe try a little more humour or add a small plot or something to the storyline, it keeps people interested.
    You are very good at writing and I wouldn't spend my time giving tips if I didn't think it was worth it.\:D
