Sul Sul! My idea for this thread is to have a dedicated space to document what is happening in my game surrounding my favorite sim family - the Holdens! It’s like a hub for all things Holden family...

Winter | Week 2 - Part II: New Year, New Memories
Weekend Highlights
FRIDAY
As the weekend rolled around, Keaton went on a solo train ride to Del Sol Valley to meet up with Lucia. She was in Del Sol Valley for an acting gig. Remember that talent scout that attended Copperdale's production of Wicked? Well, he liked what he saw and spoke with Lucia after the show. Everything happened so fast, but she did manage to land a role in a movie! Once Keaton got to Del Sol Valley, the two went out to dinner at SolCaf to catch up on each other's winter breaks.

"It was so cool!" Lucia expressed to Keaton. "I mean, I only had two lines, and my part was for "Girl 2" in one scene, but still— it was amazing!"
She and Keaton laughed about Lucia's small role, but it was still great that she got to experience what it was actually like to land a real acting gig.
"I'm so happy I did it, and I'd do it again, but I'm not going to ditch the books anytime soon" she went on. "I've already looked into the Drama program at the University of Britechester, and I think it'll be a perfect fit! I'm talking to Mr. Sorenson about a recommendation letter as soon as we get back to school."
This news made Keaton a little worried. Everyone had their future figured out and knew their next steps, but he didn't. He also was a little bummed once he heard Lucia planned to study at UBrite because the only education path he was potentially going to follow was a better program at the Foxbury Institute. He didn't really want to separate himself from her. What would happen to their friendship?

As the dinner ended, the two stood out in the front of the restaurant blabbing for two hours!
"Do you have any New Year's Eve plans for tomorrow?" she asked.
"Uhm yeah, totally! — No, haha I don't actually. Are you doing anything fun?" replied Keaton.
"Well, this girl on set was raving about a party at the Sky Deck in San Myshuno, so I was going to check it out. Wanna come? Oh! And Dallas can come with River! That'll be fun, don't you think?"
"Sure" Keaton replied with a laugh.

"Awesome! Well text me tomorrow, and I'll give you the deets!" Lucia said as she turned around to head back to her hotel.
The two started going their separate ways as Keaton turned around and yelled "Lucia, wait!"
She turned around, and Keaton felt a lump in his throat, so instead of talking...he just went for it! (finally!)

He stood back, smiled at her and said "See you tomorrow" in a low, hushed tone as he walked off leaving Lucia speechless.
SATURDAY
Saturday was New Year's Eve in my game and it was time to party! The Holdens didn't have much going on during the day, but they each had big plans that evening. Wade and Darla had a charity gala to attend for Llama International, while Dallas and Keaton had plans to attend the New Year's Eve Bash at the Sky Deck in San Myshuno. It was going to be a magical night!

Dallas and Keaton met up with River and Lucia in San Myshuno and they all went up to the top floor of the Sky Deck together to get a table for the night. They all ordered meals and drinks (no one carded them, shh!) :p

Dallas got a little too happy with the drinks...

With all of that juice, Dallas was really feeling herself! They all danced, laughed and celebrated throughout the night.

Well, okay, Dallas got a tad annoyed when she saw that someone had the same dress as her at the party..

But she quickly got over it once the clock hit midnight and her and River rang in the new year with a New Year's kiss!

Don't forget about Keaton and Lucia's New Year's kiss!

SUNDAY
The next day, Keaton and Wade went on a day trip to the Granite Falls cliff for a rock climbing adventure! Darla took Dallas out on a mother-daughter spa day at the Contour Spa. They did a little bit of rock climbing too :)

But they got to enjoy some hand massages afterwards — ahh, lovely!

Don't forget the stone massages!

Or the mud baths!

The girls spent all day at the spa, literally from 9am - 9pm! So much relaxation happened. Once all of the family members returned home, they focused on getting ready for the week ahead of them. Wade was going to return to work, Darla was going to get ready for some spring cleaning, and the kids were getting ready to go back to school. It was going to be Dallas' last term at high school, so she's hoping to make it a good one!
