Well our break has been extended until April 15th, yay! I'm really enjoying it here. I've had plenty of time to think and relax.
Chad and I decided that June was not going to work for our wedding, so we're doing the wedding in August. It works better with my color scheme (sage, brown, white, tan) and gives me more time to plan. Now I need to chose my bridesmaids, we have our honor attendants (his brother and sister) and I guess I need to start dress shopping. Daisy is helping me look at a few things around here. I suppose we should start a guest list...that would work.
I've also decided to open another resturaunt once the repairs are complete. Euphoria will be moving to Apple Valley proper, but will be near the more modern homes in the hood. I want to open Tati's, a more ethnic resturaunt near the town centre. Nicole has been telling me about the plans for the new Apple Valley (as residents have started calling it). They sound exciting. I can't wait to see it.
*yawn* I think I'll go take a nap, make even take a walk.
until next time

News from Home
Things are fine here, just relaxing and enjoying the break with my future family ^_^
My friend, Nicole emailed me. She and her husband, Lyndon, are going to be moving. Not anywhere far, thank goodness. Apparently Lyndon applied for and recieved the post as the new pastor in Apple Valley. They're going to be moving to the little parish behind the church. Lyndon is going to lead weekly services, special events (weddings, funerals, baptisms) and oversee the spiritual welfare of the hood. The salary sucks if you ask me (only $1000 a simweek, that's about $150 a day), but they have a home and I think a car as well. Apparently they're going to plant a small garden for food and Lyndon might write some articles for the newspaper occasionally.
Nicole is excited for him of course. She also told me that she's leaving the entertainment industry, partly because of the hood council's new career restrictions saying only sims with international assignments may stay in the show business career and partly because she said that she's not interested in the art anymore. She's thinking of becoming a cashier or a waitress, maybe I could hire her. They're still waiting for thier child to come, especially with repairs being so long.
With the repairs and the news of the recreation, I'm thinking of establishing a resturaunt in Apple Valley proper. There isn't a resturaunt in the hood and residents must travel downtown to go out. I don't know if I will keep a modern vibe or start a homey type establishment. Maybe both. I could get a manager at one resturaunt, well actually both, and simply let them run. Euphoria, with it's ecletic menu and modern furnishings, could be established in the modern section of town, and then I could establish a down-home style diner on the main drag with comfort foods like mac-and-cheese and fried chicken and worn in furnishings. I need to talk to my investors about that possibility.
until next time!

Oscar Results and a Break
Finally a break! The production company has given the cast the rest of the month off, *phew* I am pooped! I've been filming almost 24/7 and things are still not done. We don't know when the repairs will start or how long they will last, so we have this month off and we are scheduled to resume filming in April.
Chad and I are going to visit his sister, Daisy and the rest of his family. I plan on just relaxing and napping and talking. No more Pahala Shore scripts, maybe even a wedding planning break-we have to decide if we want to marry in June or August or September. Yes, I know, we had plans, but now those have changed...maybe.
I plan on taking this break and relaxing to the max. Don't be surprised if you don't hear from me ^_^ All I need to make this better is a good book, wonder when STAR will come out-I'm a sucker for gossip, just to see if they have it right. Sometimes they are incredibly wrong that it's amazing :P
The Oscars were fine, can't say anything until it aires.
until next time
