Diary of a Country Girl

Hi everyone. 🙂 This is the continuation of a story I started back in March on the old Vanilla forum. If you were a regular follower of the 'What Happened In You Game Today' thread, you already know Aurora and her little family. Her save started out as just for fun. To explore things within the game that I never had before. I was just going to share a few screenshots with captions. The original idea for this save was to only be about Aurora and her sidekick, her Bernese, Piccolo.

But I realized a couple of weeks ago that, yeah, it had become a story.  And it deserved its own space here on the new forum. This post and the next couple will help those of you who aren't familiar, become familiar. And since the previous updates were scattered over like 75-100 pages of the old WHIYGT thread it's a nice reminder for everyone that had been following along. 

The title is also a hint at another change. I'm going to start writing each update like it was an entry in Aurora's diary. I may still write something here and there in a more traditional style with dialogue though. I'm also getting ready to start the reboot of my other story and by writing this one like a diary it's a lot easier to do both and still keep this interesting. So let me introduce you to everyone.

Aurora Westbrook-Carter  

Aurora came back to her country roots. Her parents left Chestnut Ridge just as she entered her teens. She still came back to see her grandparents during the summers. She loved those visits and getting away from the city. After graduating high school she went to art school where she honed her painting and photography skills. But she never lost her love for the quiet country life in Chestnut Ridge. Now she's back where she feels most at home.

Tre Carter

Aurora's husband Tre came from an entirely different background. He grew up on the streets of Del Sol Valley just like his father. His mother came from Ciudad Enamorada. Yet Tre has always fascinated by the country life. He has an abiding love for horses too. Even if his first real life encounters weren't exactly smooth. 

Piccolo

Aurora's loyal sidekick.

Peanut (l), Nashville(back), and Spirit

Peanut is Aurora's champion American Saddlebred. Nashville is Tre's horse and Spirit is the newest addition to the family.

    Good luck to them preparing for the climb! And on the plans for the ranch. It will be nice when it is all done and they can have their friends and family there for the vow renewal! ❤️

    Woah, a lot going on. Building a new home, trip to Mt. Komorebi, vow renewal. They're going to be busy.

    I know the vow renewal ceremony is going to be beautiful. Can't wait.

    simgirl1010 gidget1234  Ellupelluellu  BlueSeaWaves Thank you all for the wonderful comments. ❤️

    I also owe you all an apology. I forgot to mention Aurora's dreams of climbing Mt. Komorebi when I did the recaps. It's something that was part of the updates I did on the old forum. It hasn't been a big part of the story even back then. 

    Her dream of climbing Komorebi goes back before she met Tre. As their relationship grew they decided to train so they could do the climb together. Neither one of them has enough rock climbing skill yet to attempt it. With her and Tre beginning to seriously consider becoming parents I thought it was the perfect time to bring this storyline back. Will Aurora's dream of climbing Mt Komorebi come true before she becomes a mom? Or will her dream go unrealized? She and Tre still don't have enough rock climbing skill to attempt the climb so it could go either way.
