1.1 The Beginning

Me - Pixie Forest
This is me, Pixie Forest. I'm starting out on a new adventure. I'm a little nervous and a little scared, but plenty excited to see how this all plays out. You see, I'm a Sim, but not only that, I'm a founder - of a Legacy! Cool, right? Let's hope so. 

I don't like to think about the "before" time, so let's just moving forward, ok? And so far, not much has happened in my life. I made the decision to go out on my own and start life anew. I plan on being remembered forever, throughout the generations of my family. 

Well, hopefully I have a family. I have no one and not much right now. 
Humble Beginnings Indeed

With the little money that I had, I couldn't start out in a real home. I couldn't even afford more than one wall. I got myself a cheap bed and a cheap toilet and I started from there. The first thing I did was head into town and buy some fruit. I planted some of it and saved the rest for when I got hungry. 
Apple Tree, Tomato Vines, Grapes

Then I went right out and got myself a job. I knew that I wanted to help people and I love learning and books, so being a school teacher just felt right. Of course, you don't start out as a teacher in Riverview, but that's ok - I have a feeling I'll move up the ladder pretty quick. 
Study Study Study

Things weren't the greatest for awhile. I didn't have money for furniture, so I hate my meals on the toilet! I didn't have a trashcan or sink, so dishes piled up wherever I had room to set them down. 
Gross

I didn't know anyone in this town, so I started making friends with the local wildlife. This bird was pretty friendly.
Look - a talking bird!

I'm not ashamed to admit, that I used the free grills in the part to cook a hot meal every now and again. There is only so much cereal and bread with jam a girl can take!! I should be lucky that I could even afford a fridge, but hot dogs seemed like such a luxury to me.
MEAT!!

A few trips to the bookstore later and working my butt off at work means I got a promotion! And with a promotion, comes more money and with more money, comes more stuff. I managed to snap myself a sink - no more dishes piling up!! 
Must Have Books

Books can really make a girl happy.

Clean!! I still need a trash can.

Finally, things were looking up. My garden was growing, and I think I might be in love! 
Fresh Fruit! Finally.

My new love.

Walter Grisby is a guy I met at the library. He's perfect for me! Except - he's married, with a daughter. Well, I don't think that will stop me from trying. He seemed to really enjoy my company. And I his. And since my family is supposed to be one of uglier and uglier generations - why not? Let the conquest of love being!
