Gilley Sheehan: Hello, my friends! And a mighty fine day to ya! Let me introduce meself. I’m Gilley Sheehan; straight from Tralee, Ireland I am! Only been here in Central City a few months. How do I like it so far, ya ask? Well, I got off to a rocky start but now I’m flyin’ as high as a sheep on green pastures! You’ll have to excuse my sheep sayin’s; I used to be a sheep farmer ya’know. Yep, yep. Sheepin’ was me life. I used to love the smell of the grass all green and wet with the mornin’ dew when I’d take me herd out to pasture. Me kids used to wake up early and follow me out. They grew up with those sheep. Broke their hearts to have to leave ‘em. Now in the mornin’s, we all wake up and get ready for the day. The kids go off to school on this big yella wagon-bus. Now it’s me followin’ them out the door; only I do it to get the paper and wave goodbye to ‘em. I sure do miss those sheep.

I can’t believe it’s Christmas already! I hope you all are having a great time with your friends, family, and loved ones on this wonderful holiday! I know I haven’t been posting much lately, but I’ve been super busy lately. I got a new job and now work 50+ hours a week, my fiance and I moved into a new apartment last week so we’ve been packing and moving in all of our spare time, and of course…we’re busy planning our wedding! So things have been out of control for me lately! But don’t worry, I’m still going to be updating with my dear ol’ Simmies! They are just dying to tell their crazy life stories! So, it wouldn’t be a good post without a few pictures! Here’s my families from my Prosperity Challenge all decked out for Christmas, and ready to wish you good tidings and great joy this holiday season!

I know it’s been awhile since my last Brooks’ Legacy Update, but I miss them terribly! So here’s an update about what’s happened with them! Last we saw of them, Blake and Marisa were expecting their 4th child and desperately hoping for a son to carry on the family name. Camille, or Camie for short, was in the midst of her teenage years and very happy to have finally been accepted into private school. Daphne, or as her family lovingly calls her “Daffy”, is as absent-minded as ever. And last but not least, Claudia was a happy and joyful toddler. Now to see what’s happening!

Blake Brooks was the proudest father in the town. His three beautiful daughters were happy and growing faster than he could believe. Camille was already in the middle of her highschool years, Daffy had not failed out of school yet (which was a miracle in and of itself), and little Claudia would be having a birthday soon and joining her older sisters in school. As Blake looked around at his daughters, he just couldn’t believe how fast they were growing up.

“Daffy, didn’t Daddy tell you that baby Claudia is not a play toy?”

Hey everyone! As you all know, I’ve been quiet for awhile! I was participating in NaNoWriMo, and it took up almost all of my spare time. But since that’s over with (and no, I didn’t win…only got to 20k words) I’m back and ready to start posting some new and juicy stuff again! I’ve got quite a few projects in the works now and I’m sure those of you who are new to reading my blog might get a little confused! I’ve also got a legacy family into its 3rd generation posted on another blog and I’m thinking about bringing it over to this blog, but condensing it a little bit. Anyways, here’s an expanded list of my projects and what to expect!

Brooks’ Legacy Family
This was my first ever blog story attempt of the sims! I only ever got to generation 2 on it, and you can find it under “Brooks Legacy”. I may start playing them again, in fact I probably will! They were a cute and quirky bunch, so we’ll see!

Running from a Forgotten Past
This is a story, not a challenge of any sort. It’s actually a really really shortened idea that I have been mulling over for a book that I would love to write. It is set in the Victorian Era, and has a host of loveable (and not so loveable) characters. It gives me a nice break from challenges, and it really gets my creative juices flowing!

Prosperity Challenge
Yet another of my challenges! This challenge encompasses 5 different families: the Akunaga’s, the Persea’s, the Parson’s, the Sheehan’s, and the Okapi’s. Each family has their own unique background and their own unique personalities. Since they live in the same town, their lives (and stories) intertwine quite a bit and even though I’ve only posted for the first weeks on 3 out of the 5 families, the stage is already set for some big drama! This challenge promises to be quite a lot of fun!

Montgomery Legacy Family
This is my other Legacy Family. So far, it is at generation 3 and I have been really enjoying playing them. Currently it can be found on my other blog: The Sims Chronicles. There are a lot of posts to it (but each post is really short), and you’ll have to check out the archives if you feel like reading the whole story! But they are a fun family…the only thing I don’t like about them is the fact that there is no drama! Lol. But, they’re cute and I have fun playing them! I may bring a condensed version of the story over to this blog, but I may just pick back up with the Brooks for now. We’ll see!

So that’s the overview of the projects I have going on and how my attentions are split! So, what do you all think?
