Day Twenty: Grace’s Interlude | Love is a Battlefield
https://historytolife.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/day-twenty-graces-interlude
Love is a Battlefield. Day Nineteen: Sarah’s Story. Day Twenty-One: Sarah’s Story →. Day Twenty: Grace’s Interlude. September 23, 2010. John’s letters to Sarah are heartbreaking. I can’t believe he missed the birth of his first-born child and that Sarah had to go through that entire process without him. Realizing what Sarah and John had to go through as a couple has really made me reevaluate the complaints in my own life. So what if I don’t want goopy carbonara for dinner? Who invented this crap anyway?

Love is a Battlefield. Day Ten: Emily’s Story. Day Twelve: Grace’s Interlude →. Day Eleven: Emily’s Story. September 22, 2010. June 3, 1878. I am so furious I can barely write. I fear I will stab my pencil through the paper, and render this journal scarred for life. That boy if he’s even human! William isn't the only one who can show disgust. The only revolting thing here is him. It seems Dear William's poor attitude is infectious. June 11, 1878. These fence posts have more personality than William.

Love is a Battlefield. Bringing History to Life: Day One. Day Three: Elizabeth’s Story →. Bringing History to Life: Day Two. September 17, 2010. I followed my mom’s advice today and decided to check out the attic. That was an adventure. Not only did I have to dig through tons of old, dusty junk to find the trunk, but I had to conquer my fear of spiders, too. (Okay, okay: I’ll be honest. I bribed my little brother to kill a couple spiders for me. They have eight eyes, okay? Spiders freak me out. You are c...

Love is a Battlefield. Day Nine: Grace’s Story. Day Eleven: Emily’s Story →. Day Ten: Emily’s Story. September 22, 2010. May 5, 1878. Spring has finally arrived! I think this is my most favorite time of year. Flowers burst with color. Napping on the riverbank. Waiting on the world to turn. Baby piglets are so cute! May 20, 1878. A far cry from the city. I have never seen the city; I have not been far beyond the constraints of the small town I call home. Grandmother's word is law. When I confessed to Gran...

After I saw his pale face, however, I had a change of heart. I remembered my humanity. War or not, how could I in good faith allow an injured man to die because I disagree with him? We’re both victims in this treacherous war. Keeping vigil over Samuel. Oh, how I loathe the uncertainty of war. July 16, 1775. Samuel's first steps. Until this point, I have only ...

Love is a Battlefield. Day Six: Grace’s Interlude. Day Eight: Elizabeth’s Finale →. Day Seven: Elizabeth’s Story. September 18, 2010. February 17, 1776. Now is the winter of our discontent. I finally understand Mr. Shakespeare’s famous words. The winter has dragged on, and the war shows about as much progress. The British troops still occupy Boston. The bane of my existence is among them. A dramatic broken heart. Were our conversations nothing but frivolity? And I, evidently, am a world class fool. A rec...

I received your letter yesterday. This is the first opportunity I have had to write back, and I am still struggling to compose an adequate reply. Words cannot express my joy at your news! My dear Sarah, with child our first! Home how I miss it! I apologize, my love. I do not mean to write to you of such horrific things. Ps My dear friend W...

Love is a Battlefield. Day Fifteen: Emily’s Finale. Day Seventeen: Sarah’s Story →. Day Sixteen: Grace’s Story. September 23, 2010. This might sound cliché, but I can really see history repeating itself. When Emily actually got to know William, she realized there was a lot to discover under the surface. His tough façade was just a pretense. Underneath it all, William was actually a pretty vulnerable guy. (Not to mention mama to a couple of baby sheep. Precious! Well, we’ve seen the power of love already.

Memoirs Of A City Girl: Chapter One (You Oughta Know)
http://memoirsofacitygirlsims3.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-one-new-town-new-life.html
Sunday, October 23, 2011. Chapter One (You Oughta Know). Welcome to my blog! Writing has always been one of my guilty pleasures but life got in the way, and I never pursued it. Luckily, I discovered a way to rekindle my love affair with the written word AND play my favorite game of all time, The Sims. Location: 99 Embarcadero Drive. Date: Thursday, 10/20/11. Cause the joke that you laid. On the bed that was me. And I'm not gonna fade. As soon as you close your eyes. And you know it. I hope you feel it.
