Well guys, I’m back with some happy/sad news. I lost my job in Appaloosa Plains (to the Principle’s niece no less) and because of that I’ve had to move. I’m so sad to be leaving my Grandmothers Victorian/Farmhouse behind, especially since I’d spent so much time and heart renovating it just how I liked.

But the good news is I’ve found another job in Winchester as a school teacher. It’s a much smaller school but I think it will be a good change. I’m coming on as a full time teacher and also an administrative aid and I’m hoping that during my time here I can really make a difference. So far I’m loving the small town community vibes here.

I’ve also been able to move into my own little farm here. Complete with garden and a little barn with a studio on top. I don’t paint but maybe I’ll have to start trying. The fall weather is so gorgeous and inspiring. The house needs some updating so I’m currently painting to start. As I make progress I’ll share.

Here’s to my favorite season and some new beginnings. Cheers.

Reblog this if you doing Simblrween for THE SIMS 3!

~ F A L L ~  “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.

“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”

Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first  moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”

Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”

“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.

“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”

Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”

Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.

“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.

“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.

“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.

“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.

"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”

“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.

Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.

“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.

“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”

Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”

With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

Thanks for collabing with me @plumdrops Holly is such (!) a beautiful sim! Thank you to Frankie for the fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun

This little cutie made my day today! For our English project I asked students to write on someone inspirational. Most picked presidents or Astronauts but not Sofia. I was blown away to find she picked me! Moments like this are what make teaching so worth it, when you realize you are impacting a child’s life and future.

——

Thanks to @lumospixels for sending me her lovely Sofia. I love following her IG and it was a privilege to collab with her. Plus, just look at this cutie! And thanks to Frankie for the collab challenges!

Gracie sat beneath the warm sun, her nose in a book and the nagging feeling in her mind that she should put on more sunscreen. She peaked up from her book as a group appeared and began setting up volleyball nets. There chatter slightly annoyed Gracie, as she missed the sound of simply the ocean and seagulls.

Gracie sat up with a huff and switched from her current pleasure read, a Jane Austen of course, to a work book she’d been meaning to read on effective tutoring for struggling students. She pulled out her pencil case of highlighters and note cards and switched to study mode, reapplying sunscreen and begrudgingly trying to keep her hair out of her face.

“Grace?”

Gracie’s eyes widened as she looked up to find Matt starring down, a casual smile on his face. ”H..h..heeey” Gracie said slowly. She suddenly felt very exposed both from his critical eyes of her note cards and in her current lack of full clothing.

“What are you doing Grace?”

It’s Gracie, she thought to herself as she shut her book and set it on top of her supplies to hide her obsessive organization. “Oh you know, a teachers summer life. All play and no work doesn’t sit well with my kind. Figured I’d get ahead on my reading while I still have time.”

He quirked an eyebrow at her and she felt even smaller beneath his towering stature. Her mind filled with excuses but her lips couldn’t swallow any of them. He looked indecisive for a moment before offering her his hand. “Come on”

“Where?” It was her turn to quirk and eyebrow and look at him as if he had a second head.

He smiled and shook his head in unbelief. “Into the water smarty pants. Let’s go, I command you to have some fun.”

She grabbed his hand and took a leap of faith to trust him.
