Narrated by Melissa

I guess every parent kind of wishes their kids move back home after graduation, at least our parents were wishing that. But both Margot and I never intended to do so. So after college we moved in to a nice house with our friend Belinda.

Of course mom and dad had to come and check our new place, to see if it was suitable for us, and to check if we were taking goof care of outselfs.

I think they were kind of impressed with the house we're renting. I know I was, it's location is great, on SimsVille Avenue, and it's not too expensive.

I like living with my sister and my best friend, but I'm afraid it's noting going to be very long, especially not with Margot's upcomming wedding. We talk about het plans quite a lot, and I'm very excited for her, but I'm going to miss her.

Since Belinda mostly works evenings and nights, Margot and I usually have the mornings together, and we really take every minute we can spend together.

Sometimes I wonder if Margot never gets tired of all that wedding-talk. She talks about it with me quite a lot, which I don't mind, but I'm pretty she it's allmost all she talks about with Jason as well.

They go to check out diffent venues, but still haven't decided yet, and they weddingdate is getting closer.

I gues they get distracted a little bit too much sometimes.

Belinda loves what she's doing, but I miss having her around when we're at home. She gets home around 2 or 3AM, and gets up when we're already at work. She's home alone most of the day.

She sais it might be for the best, since we might get tired of her practising all day long, but I still miss being able to talk to her.

On his days off, Dominic usually drops by to see her. With Belinda's strange workinghours, it's difficult for them to meet, but somehow they make it work.

I'm glad they are making it work. Dominic really is a good guy, much better than Niels ever was, and he really seems to love Belinda.

Since I have Mario, I wish everybody to be as happy as I'm! We're not talking marriage or anything just yet, like Margot and Jason, but I definatly feel like it's right.

He really seems to get met. One day we went to the Rock Aquarium, I kept telling him everything I already knew since my trip with the elementary school 2 years ago.

He just kept listening and when he was tired of it he grabbed me and started kissing me so I forgot where I was.

I really don't need to go to all those fancy diners, and restaurants, I have just as much fun at the restaurant of the aquarium.

Extra:

I decided I wanted some pictures on their walls, so I took some pictures and decided to share them with you. I have to admit they didn't make it on to their walls just yet.

Melissa and Margot - I figured their parents might want some pictures as well.

And again; Lars, Melissa and Margot.

Notes:

• Officially the girls bought a house on SimsVille Avenue in Simmeria, but that isn't realistic I think, so I gave them their money back, and decided on a rent, that I'm taking from their householdfunds every week.
• This update is the only update you'r going to get from these roommates. Margot is getting married in November, and will be moving in with Jason after that. In game that has already happend. And Mario is moving in with his girlfriend. So next time this will be the Burrie - Mertens - Stevens household, with Mario, Belinda and Melissa.
  I have no idea how long this household will last and if Dominic will one day be moving in.
• Belinda started rolling wants for Dominic this round, so I figured she made up her mind, they are officially dating at the moment, but with Belinda's weird hours it's not easy to go on actual dates. We'll see where things go from here.
