"I can't believe I'm here. I'm here with you." I say quietly as we gaze at our run down property. I squeal as Champ picks me up and carries me to the entrance of the house. We kiss and then he sets me down.

NOTE
At this point, I had built their new little house with the funds that they had but I was having weird issues with the doors, windows, and arches on the lot.
So... because I like to do things the hard way, I decided to create my own world. I spent a week making a new world called Misty Isle (which you can check out and download on my sims Facebook account. It's far from perfect and there are quite a lot of issues with is, but it works for what I want. Also, it was my first time using Create-a-World and I wanted to finish it ASAP). I finally moved Calla's family, Calista and Adam, Calla's siblings, the Dhavals, Antares, Chartreuse, and Rina and Champ's brother into the new world.
The pictures starting now are in the new world, Misty Isle. But for story purposes, the big move isn't going to be mentioned. The characters are going to act like it never happened because it would totally be weird in the story if they just moved all of a sudden.

With the help of friends and family, Champ and I finally finished renovating our house. And it only took a month! It has three rooms - A kitchen/living room/dining room, bedroom, and bathroom.
"Ready to take a look at our amazing house?" Champ asks me as he grasps my hand in his.
"You bet!" I exclaim.
As we walk through the living room/kitchen and bedroom, I admire my decorating skills.
"It doesn't look too shabby, does it?" I casually point out.
"You definitely have an amazing decorating sense," Champ chuckles.
Mom and dad invited us for dinner to meet Champ for the first time. He begins a small garden to the side of the house before we leave.
Seeing mom and dad is great, especially after all I've gone through this summer. They're pleased to meet Champ, which doesn't surprise me. We all eat dad's homemade goopy carbonara.
Now that I'm a somewhat decent chef, I can finally relate to dad's cooking hobby and we have a nice chat about the spices and herbs he put into it.
For the entire rest of the dinner, mom can't help but subtly point out that I actually have a boyfriend. I guess she assumed I'd be single for my entire life, and knowing what I was like as a child, I don't blame her.
After a long night of laughs and family bonding, Champ and I return to our newly built home.
"So, your parents. They seem really lovely, so young too," Champ says to me, as we snuggling on the couch before bed.
"They are. They're really really truly in love. They're too perfect for each other, as my siblings and I put it. Also, I'm not supposed to tell anyone but they did drink a 'forever young' potion, so that's why they look so young still."
"Really? I had heard about that but I didn't realize anyone had tried it."
"Yes, they knew the man who created it so they got first dibs. I'm glad it worked because if it hadn't... I don't even want to think about that." I shudder.
Playing dumb, I ask, "What exactly do you mean by that?"
Champ says nothing but instead leans forward and kisses me. Things get pretty steaming so we take it to the bedroom and have quite the night.
The next morning, Champ and I are eating a delicious breakfast when I notice his outfit is much more formal than his usual shredded up gardening jeans and plaid shirts.
"What's with the outfit?"
"Oh, this? Well... since you asked..."
At this point we're done with our food so I get up to put my dishes away while Champ speaks. Before I can pick up my plate, however, he grabs me and kisses me quickly on the mouth.
"Cham-" I start to say but he holds a finger up to my lips.
Then he kneels to one knee....
"Ms. Calla Cohen, I know we haven't known each other long but I feel like I've known you for eternity. You're the sweetest, smartest woman I know and I love to make you my wife. Will you marry me, Calla?"
I'm shocked and instantly tell him yes. He places the ring on my ring finger and it fits perfectly.
We hug each other tightly and cry tears of joy. For most of my life, I have never fantasized about who I was going to marry or how many kids I was going to have. It was always about studying nonstop. So this moment is completely surprising and new to me and I replay it in my head over and over again. It's definitely the start of a new kind of life for me. A happier, healthier one.

Sorry this post seems so scattered. I had a bunch of random pictures and I had to kind of tie them together. Plus, as much as I had disliked staging and planning my posts to fit the worlds from the book, it's much more difficult for me to write anything now that I finished the book in the last post and have nothing supporting me at the moment. I guess it'll take a bit of time to get used to writing and using my own ideas (how sad is that?? x'D).
Anywho... there's only one more post after this one that I will be writing on this blog. After that post, I will be posting my "playing for fun" pictures my tumblr. ^_^
