She finds it hard to understand Adelaide!<br /><br />I'm glad you like Lila and Connor together.

It's just like Kirstin to wait so long to take a holiday though!<br /><br />Poor Connor...he doesn't normally go over too well with the parents. He can be very standoffish and he wouldn't be the type to get into small talk. Kirstin is similar though, so she gets it. And David's well used to it after all these years with Kirstin. ;)<br /><br />Adelaide being such a black sheep is a lot of fun, absolutely. I have zero idea what I'm going to do with her when she finishes university, if she actually graduates. I'm just going to have to go with the flow with her. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-59354055616689486572012-01-29T11:21:57.364+11:002012-01-29T11:21:57.364+11:00It's nice that they finally got a holiday to t...It's nice that they finally got a holiday to themselves. I'm getting more on board with Lila and Connor--it's certainly nice that Kirstin likes him! I know he's had trouble getting parents to like him thus far.<br /><br />All those accomplishments in one family would be difficult to live up to--it's fun that Adelaide is so different from them (but probably a little frustrating, too!).Rachelhttp://simstoriesbyrachel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-61095954235884435592011-12-19T09:42:43.107+11:002011-12-19T09:42:43.107+11:00Fini, yeah, their last vacation was a seriously lo...<b>Fini</b>, yeah, their last vacation was a seriously long time ago! Poor David.<br /><br />Heh, Malcolm stuck his neck out to recommend Amar for the job, so Amar had to make a good impression.

Most of my lazies seem to be able to graduate in the end, though it may be with a very unimpressive GPA.

Yeah, this one was much better than their last.<br />I'm glad Amar got a job, now get him back into his regular clothes! He looks so weird in slacks and a button-down.<br />I'm also glad that Kirstin is finally down to one job. She can spend some time with her grandkids. And be glad that Lila's doing fine and worry about Adelaide. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't graduate, but I hope she does.Finihttp://nh.infinitynevermore.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-18296403233526917042011-12-18T08:47:08.476+11:002011-12-18T08:47:08.476+11:00simnovoris, it does really fit Adelaide.

She did roll the want to major in Political Science though, so she's one step ahead of Sophie, who just let the university put her in Philosophy!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, as I always say, it's good to mix it up a bit, isn't it? We'll see what happens with Adelaide. <br /><br />I was glad they got to go on a holiday too. Kirstin especially has been working very hard since her dad died and she took over the diner. Now she can be normal again. ;)<br /><br />Connor and Lila are great together but they have not even started to talk about kids or any other concrete plans for the future! Kirstin was 29 when she had the twins and I think Lila will probably wait until around the same age. Her job is her baby right now!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Nicky</b>, well, Adelaide already surprised me once with wanting to major in Political Science! I was honestly expecting her to just coast along and not care at all. <br /><br />I just hope Connor's life goes the way he's expecting it to, because he's not the type who would take it awfully well if it didn't. He's very set in his ways! Lila is less so, but they're still a good pairing.<br /><br />I adore Grace and Everett. I was just thinking that as I was playing them! I got a few cute pics I didn't get a chance to fit into the update. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-50359993616155697832011-12-16T00:33:54.002+11:002011-12-16T00:33:54.002+11:00Cheers for Kristin and David finally taking a vaca...Cheers for Kristin and David finally taking a vacation, about time. Even though they waited 20 years it made it so much more worth it.<br /><br />I'm with the everyone else and is interested in which way Adelaide's life will turn. She may just surprise us all and want to really study and achieve higher.<br /><br />I admire Connor's drive and that he has his life fully mapped out. Connor and Lila look adorable together. I don't blame Lila for wanting to wait to have children.<br /><br />Grace and Everette are my faves next to Declan and Caitlin. These two stole my heart the moment they were born. I can't wait till they are older and see what they will do to shake up the town of Sullivan. :)<br /><br />Awesome update as always.Hoseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112344786582178875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-314896285055960412011-12-15T19:50:10.061+11:002011-12-15T19:50:10.061+11:00I'm kind of with Maisie here; Adelaide really ...I'm kind of with Maisie here; Adelaide really should start working for school, but I do like it too that she isn't doing too much. It will be interesting where she will go :)<br /><br />That trip to Three Lakes was so wel deserved for them! And I'm with David here that I hope the next one doesn't have to wait 20 more years!<br /><br />I still like Lila and Connor together, and all that talk about kids, made me look forward to some kids from them, I know it's early in their relationship, but I can't help but wonder about it :)Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-8467411769616130632011-12-15T14:43:20.652+11:002011-12-15T14:43:20.652+11:00About time they had a vacation, but 20 years is a ...About time they had a vacation, but 20 years is a long time to wait.

Adelaide is going to have far fewer options career-wise if she ends up flunking out but it really does make a lot of sense for her character, if that's what does happen. I'm following her wants, so whatever happens, it'll be because she directed it. <br /><br />David really has been a saint with Kirstin - she's quite the workaholic! He's probably lucky he got a honeymoon and the vacation they took soon after that, the way she works. I love them together though, so I was glad to be able to send them away. <br /><br />I was expecting Kirstin to love Connor but I wasn't sure about David (in game, this was the first time they'd met, I think). Connor really does fit in well with the Sitkos. They all (well, except for Adelaide!) value education and careers very highly and so does he. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Choco</b>, I'm kind of interested to see that too! As I said to Maisie, I'm following her wants, so it'll be up to her. Whether she finishes uni or not, I hope she can find <i>something</i> worthwhile to do with her life, even if it takes her a little longer than average to find it!<br /><br />I know, 20 years, huh? Kirstin really, really loves to be busy, so it's hard for her to take time out like this. But it's a healthy thing for everyone to do, so David will probably try to force it a bit more now. ;)<br /><br />No, a diner isn't really Camilla's dream business! She has an LTW to own 2 top-level businesses though and because this one is already doing so well, she'll use it as kind of like her starter/practice business. It also brings in around $1000 a day, so the money will definitely be welcome for a young family. Eventually, Camilla will open her own clothing store and the diner will have given her a good grounding in business practices. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-20539212416864696432011-12-15T13:05:48.998+11:002011-12-15T13:05:48.998+11:00I'm interested in what will happen with Adelai...I'm interested in what will happen with Adelaide as she progress through university. It must be slightly intimadating with such accomplished family memebers. <br /><br />Wow, 20 years between vacations? How dreadful. That massuse must have had his work cut out for him when serving Kirsten.<br /><br />The diner doesn't seem quite like Camilla's point of interest but with two kids it might just be a good investment. At the very least, it will give them their first jobs and appreciate money as they get older.Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739717545188281648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-23140180353994422212011-12-15T09:18:10.883+11:002011-12-15T09:18:10.883+11:00I know it'd be good for Adelaide to start putt...I know it'd be good for Adelaide to start putting effort into her grades, but I actually like that she doesn't. I think it fits her so well, and I can't see her just suddenly being an honor student. She's fun to read about, you just don't know where she will go! <br /><br />I'm glad that these two took a vacation and had a nice time. David has been very patient with Kirsten over the years. So it's nice to see her take some time out to just be with David, he deserves some love too. <br /><br />I do love Connor, he fits with this family so well! And the twins are darling, I do love this family with their higher education, finer things, and government past. They are very well to do.
