So because we have been hurting financially, everyone had to take on jobs. Everyone except Billy and Randy, of course. We can't have child labor going on now, can we? Actually, why can't we? I mean, I know that they are now in school learning the basic stuff, but is it really too hard for them to also work? And it is only the two of them at school right now anyways. Kind of boring and lonely if you ask me. Regardless, they tell me that they like school a lot. Something about the fact that they get to play on the school playground almost the entire time they are their. I don't know how that is learning the basics, but I guess I have to trust that David is running the school in a proper fashion since I don't know how to run a school.
Anyway, I digress. I am working as a cashier at the [[Fanon:The Genesis Project Lots#325 W Business Loop|real estate agency]], Andrew is working at the [[Fanon:The Genesis Project Lots#402 S Business Loop|art gallery]] also as a cashier, and Ed is working at the

First off, Jason and I both had out birthdays and are now elders. It is odd how Jason looks a lot like our dam, Kyle. I guess I do in some ways too, but I look more like my sire, Chris. Kevin had his adult birthday. He is really looking more like me everyday. Then we also had an addition to the family, Adrian. All I can say is that there are exciting times ahead for Adrian in our family. I can't wait to see what sort of things he will grow up to do. I'm not sure how much I will see, but my guess is that I will be a few days if I live anywhere as long as my dam. Who knows, maybe I will see him just about to start his own life like Kevin was not too long ago.
At the decision of the community to move all businesses off home property, I have moved "Kyle's Pottery" to one of the stores under the apartments that I had bought a while ago. It will be a while before it reaches the level of business in the new location to what it was before the move, but I am confident that it will get there and grow even more. I also built the [[Fanon:The Genesis Project Lots#505 S Business Loop|town hall]] on the other lot that I had purchased last season. I wasn't sure what to do with it until it came to me that the community needed to have a central place to meet and handle community matters rather than meeting at various homes. While there were some hesitations for me to own the land of the town hall, everyone agreed that we needed to have one. Since I was the only other family other than the Harper family to have land available for use and was more than willing to do so, it made sense to go ahead with it.
I had gone ahead and used a lot of the family money to build it up for some good use. I built in a couple of offices and a courtroom. I even build a section of holding cells. I personally hope that we never have to use them, but it was a suggestion made by a few in the community. Something about punishing such acts like stealing from other neighbors would put it to use. I only remember that happening once, and it wasn't even that big of a deal. However, the argument is that as the community gets bigger, it will be more likely that something like that will happen - especially if people figure out that there isn't any serious punishment. I guess that makes sense. That is also why I built the courtroom, so that we can have a community passing the judgement of the crime rather than placing it all on one person. I remember how my sire was quite upset that the burglary was swept under the rug and hidden from sight. It took him a long time to get any amount of corporation with Tyler after that. I remember that there was a while that Chris couldn't even look at Tyler without contentment. So hopefully this way if there ever is a need for any sort of punishment outside of individual family affairs, the person being punished won't feel singled out like Chris did. I hope that I can get a good picture of the place once all of the snow melt now that it is spring.
