THE GHOULSON FAMILY

Samantha Ghoulson re-read the flyer as she sat in her parents living room. It sounded like the ideal place to raise her three children, two year old twins, Grant and Lizabeth and 6 year old Veronica. Samantha and her children had been living with her parents ever since her husband Steve had been deployed to Iraq. She had been informed only a month ago that Steve had been killed in a roadside ambush, leaving her a widow.

The children all had her red hair. She had hoped that at least one of them would have Steve's lovely blonde hair, it had not worked out that way. She did see Steve in their actions and facial characteristics though.

Although Samantha's parents had said there would be no problem with her living there, Samantha knew she had to make a new start. Laurel Valley sounded like the ideal place to take her children. She had 20,000 simoleons saved up in the bank. She knew it would not be easy. She would have to get a job and get someone to care for the kids. The first couple of years would be really difficult. Samantha picked up the phone and started dialing the number on the flyer.

THE MCNAIR FAMILY

In another neighborhood, far, far away, Michael Mcnair saw the same flyer. He lived in small studio apartment by himself. Nearby, his twin daughters Carmen and Carla lived together with their sons Conner and William. They had recently gotten a divorce from their husbands. Michael knew they were having a difficult of it. Although Michael was not rich, he decided he wanted to get a house n Laurel Valley and bring his daughters in with him. Michael called his daughters and they agreed, since thier husbands were not giving them any alimony and they were about to lose the house they were in. Michael called the real estate agency in Laurel Valley.

The Toliver Family

Kaitlyn Toliver had big plans. She wanted to become mayor. Not of this city where she was currently living with her parents though. She had had enough of it. After all, she was 21 now. Too old to be living with her parents. Kaitlyn had worked odd jobs and had accumulated a nest egg of 20,000 simoleons. She was going to move to another community, one that was just starting out perhaps. She walked out to the mailbox and looked inside. She saw a flyer from someplace called Laurel Valley. Hmm, nice and cozy. Something she was looking for. Kaitlyn walked back in the house with a smile on her face. She picked up the phone and started dialing.

The Xavier family

Paul Xavier sat on the couch with his wife of 40 years, Margaret. They still could not believe the news they had recently recieved. Their son, Johnny, had been sitting on the ground looking up at the sky, when a Satellite re-entered the earth's atmosphere and came crashing down on him, killing him instantly. Johnny had left behind twin teens Jeffrey and Jerry, and toddler John, his namesake. they all had his brown hair, a trait that Paul was sure would be passed down from generation to generation.

Paul had already taken the boys into his and Margaret's apartment, but there wasn't enough room for everyone. After discussing it with his wife, Paul decided they would look for a new community. This one held too many sad memories for everyone. They had to get a fresh start.

Paul held the flyer to a place called Laurel Valley in his hands. It didn't say much. It did seem an ideal community to raise his grandsons in. Their were only four lots currently available though. He had to act quickly to grab one of them before they were all sold out. Paul gave his wife a kiss on the cheek and then picked up the phone.
