The morning of Edwards funeral was one the hardest days of my life, i just didn't want to get up. I guess it's because i didn't really want this day to actually happen, then it would all be real and Edward would really be gone. 

 
After another long week the weekend was here again, and this one was a special one. Florence was at a big milestone in her life, aging up into a Young Adult. On the moringing of her birthday we had a small celebration in the kitchen, just the three of us. 

 
It's been a few weeks since half term holidays and Florence has been busy at collage, Edwards art career has really started to pick up and my garden is looking great. Anyway, It was Last Friday I think when Florence was getting ready to go out to the cinema with her friends.

 
Hey all, 
So now that Betcy's story is coming to an end i thought i would give you all a tour around her home. Its a house based on this house by Spechless, i absolutely loved the look of it from the outside so i recreated it in my game - i change it a bit but the basic shape is still there, also the layout is different to the original because it didn't meet my needs for the house. I think Betcy's house was one of the first houses i made on sims 3 so its not amazing, but at the time i was really happy with it. Anyways i hope you like it :) 

 
Now that its moving more into the warmth and sun of Spring like weather and Winter is feeling less cold, not the the seasons ever change around here, i thought we should all go out for a day trip. One evening Edward and i were discussing it, i suggested a shopping trip and makeovers for me and Florence but Edward wasn't very keen on the idea and suggested a good fishing spot up the river. We though a fishing trip in the country would be a nice break from work and a nice relaxing day for all 3 of us. 

 
Hello again everyone, hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. So now the Christmas period is over, its back to normaility for us all. The post-lady is back on her usually rounds of the neighborhood, and the school bus arrived on the dot of 8 for Florence.

 
Merry Christmas everyone, It's Betcy here. Christmas was a few weeks ago and we got very much into the Christmas spirit. Just before Christmas we put our tree up in the living room and decorated the rest of the house. It was all very festive. Christmas has to be my favorite time of year, all the celebrations and spending time with the family, its just lovely. Once the tree was up we all just looked at it, very happy with it, but also Florence got excited about all the presents underneath, shes still i little girl inside.

 
Its been a few weeks since I've told you about my life and what we've all be up to. Its all been rather ordinary lately, we're just living the suburban dream. Florence is back at collage after the summer, and is busy doing her work a lot of the time. Its a lot harder doing her A-levels than i think she thought it would be - but shes doing very well and Edward and i are extremely pleased with her and her hard work. 

 
After some more building in Toddington, and looking at the rest of the island which i still needed to build, i became completely overwhelmed by the whole Isle of Newshore project! I was really enjoying myself but there was just so much to do and i couldn't really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, a whole world is just too bigger step at the moment. Don't get me wrong it's really great looking back and seeing what you've created from scratch but i just takes so long, so as you may have guessed i went back to Betcy, i just missed the actual playing of the sims and i missed Betcy so here she is...

Hello again everyone, how are you all? Its been a long time and a lot has changed so i should probably get on and fill you all in. 
Its been just over a year since Bertha died and it hasn't got any easier for me to live without her. Edward and Florence have been wonderful, obviously they know what it feels like to loss somebody. They really helped me through the first couple months, which were the hardest, but i feel a lot better now, of course the pain never goes away, you just get used to it, and i still really miss Bertha. I go to her grave at least once a week just to talk and put down some fresh flowers. I find the graveyard so quite and peaceful and the sound of the running river in the background is just so soothing.

Ive had the most terrible week this week, firstly the computer stopped working, so i called the repairman but he said he could be up to 3 hours so i thought id give it ago my self, OK people don't try this at home, i went and electrocuted myself, what a silly billy i am, so i decided i would just wait for the repairmen instead, and i thought it would be best if i went to had a shower, i was all dirty from the electric shock.
