"We finally were able to get away on a long over due vacation. The vacation home in Florida hadn't been used in a very long time, not since Mary was still home living with us. So we called the local maid agency so that everything would be nice and clean when we arrived. We spotted the maid leaving just as we pulled up."

August, Summer 2012, Mary Snowden and Marchon Cunningham are both 19. (Sorry, I got long winded in the update. You'll see.)

mini-update. Soundtrack: Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate

She's glad. She's sad. She's angry. She's depressed. There are so many emotions running through Mary that she can't stand it. One minute she's crying, the next she laughing. She's been up and she's been low. She just hasn't been right since the break up.

So, there was this party

April, Spring 2011, Mary Snowden, Lilly Sanchez, Nora Reed, AJ Christian, Ye T'ang and, Danny Ottamas are 17, Keegan Ottamas is about to turn 16 and, Suni Ramaswami is about to turn 14.





Mary is standing in front of her bathroom mirror practicing. She needs her best schmoozing skills possible. He dad reached the top of his career track and is now, officially mayor of Riverdale, plus the family wants to celebrate Gavin's graduation from Head-start. He will be starting at Riverdale Elementary next fall.

Footprints in the sand

September, Fall 2010, Mary Snowden, Lilly Sanchez, Nora Reed, AJ Christian and, Danny Ottamas are 17, Keegan Ottamas is 15




The group decides to met up at North Shore Public Beach. It's right across the street from Mary's new house, so she didn't have far to travel. But Nora complains about how hard it was for her to convince her mom to let her use the family van. She wanted to know why she had to drive all the way out to the suburbs at night. Of course she gave her a totally lame explanation, but it worked.

House Warming

May, Spring 2010, Mansur Sanchez is 32, Fatima is 31 and, Alani is 1
(Danny and Kristin Sanchez are 58, Lilly is 17, Anton and Kathy Snowden are 58, Mary is 16)




For Mansur and Fatima the year of 2009 brought a few changes to their lives. The first big change was the purchase of their first home. A nice brownstone around the corner from the hospital. They did decide to stay in town. Neither could picture living in suburbia just yet.

Spring finally came, and with it another year of school is slowly coming to a close. Which means, I'm getting closer and closer to graduation.

Mary Snowden Simdays 41 - 43

It is currently Winter of 2008 and Mary is 14 (Kathy and Anton are 45, Fatima is 26, and Masur is 27)



I'm so excited for many reasons, but my main two are really important. Well, to me anyways. First and foremost, see that picture behind me? That's my boo, Marchon Cunningham. He's from Simmington Hills, and for now we're doing the long distance thing. *sigh* Man, I can't wait until I graduate college and can be with him. My boo is so fine. I'm thinking about trying to talk my parents into letting me go to college in Simmington Hills. But we'll see.

Mary Snowden Simdays 36 - 40

Well my birthday came and went with little fan fair. I didn't want a huge party, just a well wishes from family and friends. I think I'm to old for the whole party scene.

But I have to say I aged very nicely! I mean, I thought I was cute as a kid but I'm very pleased to how I look now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not conceded I'm just happy that I'm not ugly.

Kathy Snowden Simdays 36 - 40

I was still a bit down by Mary not wanting to celebrate her birthday with a huge party. When she turned into a child she was thrilled to have one, but I guess turning into a teen wasn't such a big deal to her. *roll eyes* Teenagers, lol.

Fatima Snowden-Sanchez Sim Days 31 - 35

Finally! Our wedding day came. After graduating college and renting our first place, and not to mention starting our careers, I never though Masur and I would tie the knot. But we did! It was a lovely summer day on the 32ed day. It wasn't to hot,and I looked fab. in my dress.

I was so nervous, but thrilled to finally walk down, the grassy alsie, lol. Since we we decided to get married in a quant little park downtown, near our apartment. It was lovely. I wish I could do it again!

After the wedding the airport shuttled arrived at the park to pick Masur and myself up. We got to the airport an hour later and boarded the plan to Twikki Island. Soon as we got their we checked in and headed straight for our bungalow. We waited long enough to woo hoo. And I'm glad I did wait. Our first time together was magical. (I can't believe I'm sharing this with others,lol) Our room was right on the beach, the sounds of the once was wonderful to fall asleep to!


The fianl two days of our honeymoon turned into a desater. It turns out that I'm not to keen for tropical weather, and I suffered heat stroke and stayed hot the whole time. No matter how many glasses of water I drank, or took many dips in the pool, nothing helped. I was just hot!
But I did my best not to let it ruine my trip. We had fun, and decided to come back again maybe this coming winter or next spring. We'll see.
Soon as I arrived home my mom called. She was still on cloud nine about the wedding, and the first thing out of her mouth was "When are you giving us a grand-child?" I rolled my eyes and laughed. Not anytime soon I'm affarid. Mansur and I have a game plan and I plan on sticking to it. We are focusing on our careers first, then in the future we can think about having a baby. Besides, I have Zillya's daughter, Bri, to pure my love into. And if I get that "itch" then I think we'll adopt a dog or cat.

I just can't believe it! We arrive at college and I'm trying to get used to the idea of living without my mom and dad, and Mansur goes and does this! He asked me to marry him. I couldn't believe it. I just sat there for a moment looking at the ring, then at him, then at our twin bowls of chili. I find it very comical that he would pick dinner time at the dorms to pop the question. I could see that he was starting to sweat, I smiled then said yes. OMG! Can you imagine. I'm going to be Mrs. Mansur Sanchez.

_______________________________________________________________

Shortly after arriving to University my dad, The Mayor, lol. Announced that there would be a new deal, Free Time, signed. I thought the idea was pretty neat. That was until I realized that my love for dance could be turned into a real hobby. So I pounced, and now I'm addicted to it. I'm only one bar away from maxing out music and dance, and I spend all my free time (no pun) blogging about the joys of dance online.

Mansur doesn't mind since he does spend his free time playing LAN party games. I joined once just to see what all the fuss was about. It was fun but not as much fun as searching the web on the newest dance moves or new released music. And with all the dancing, it has paid off in the long run. My body is 100% fit and I look great. If and when me and Mansur choose to have children, I won't have to worry about losing my shape, lol.

_____________________________________________________________

I was so home sick. I missed my parents and little sister like crazy. So it was nice to be invited home for her birthday from toddler to child. It was cool to watch her transition. Another cool thing! How much we look alike, but also different. Mary looks more like our mom and I more like our dad.

So I was back at the dorms and complaining to Mansur about how much I miss home when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and screamed n delight. It was Daddy! I have him a super tight hug. It was so awesome for him to come visit me. We spend the day together, but it was cute short for my finals. I later found out that my sweetie arranged the whole meeting.

_____________________________________________________________

Zalliya got a make over, which I liked very much, but I though she did it for all the wrong reasons... a guy! So when I found out that she was pregnant I was a bit put off and not to mention surprised. I mean I have never known anyone pregnant who wasn't married and an adult. But she is one of my BFF's and I had to support her no matter what. It was cool feeling the baby kick. I can't wait until she gives birth. I hope it's a girl!

_________________________________________________________

It's getting harder and harder to say no. But I have to stick to my guns. I want my and Mansur's wedding night to be special, and if we go ahead and give into temptation now what will we have to look forward to? NOTHING! lol Plus, when it starts to get a little too heated, I hate to say it, but I think about Zalliya, and that cools my heels. I do not want to end up like her, having a baby and still in school.

Dancing Queen

Yup, that's what I am. After graduation from high school I entered college and that's when my dad signed the Free Time Deal. I was pleased to find out that my natural or chosen hobby was music and dance. That's so cool. I'm almost at the top of my hobby and I love it. Too bad I decided to major in something other than dance. *sigh* Maybe it's not too late to change my mind!
