We tried moving our house to a new lot to get the Headmaster to show but he didn't. We decided to let Ella go to Public School and let her get an after school job when she gets older. I made pancakes for breakfast. Ella was excited to go to school and a lil nervous.






Vince has a lifetime aspiration goal of 50 dream dates so while Ella was at school, Vince and I had a date. It made both of our meters fill to platinum. We took advantage of it and started working on building our skills. Vince wanted to paint a portrait for creativity.



Since my lifetime aspitation goal is to be a Celebrity Chef, I used the thinking cap to build my cooking skills.

By this time, Ella was home from school.



She enjoyed her first day and met a few more new kids. She brought one of them home. It was Brielle Ollie (daughter of Ellie and Ralph Ollie).



Ella brought Brielle in and offered her a snack. Another little girl from Ella's class was walking out front. She introduced us to her classmate, Melanie Kim.

The girls stayed over until it was dark. Ella wanted to start building her skills too, she figured it couldn't hurt her for school. She started with art.

I got so wrapped up in building my skills that I wasn't giving Vince much attention.
I took a break and had a dream date with him to help him achieve his lifetime want. We're starting our own Restaurant with a bakery and bar area but I wanted to get an idea of how to layout our rooms. Since we were both platinum, I sent Vince to check out the Bakery in Bluewater Village while I finished racking up on my skills.



Vince gave me some great ideas for our place. We talked about building it across from our home and having our kids work for us when they get of age.
Ella, heard us talking about the busnisses and wanted to start something of her own. We bought her a Lemonade stand. She was thrilled! She jumped right on making a batch to sell.





She sat out there for a while without selling any; so she got up and greeted every townie she saw walking past to get them to buy from her.

She made a new friend, Lisa. She could be Ella's twin.






That night we had a special visitor come to the house. It was the old Damara Ollie.



Ella and Vince were playing around b4 getting ready for bed.


Now that i'm done building skills for the culinary career, I started my job as a waitress. All I need now is to build my friendships to top out as a celebrity chef.



As soon as I got back I had Vince and Ella call some ppl over to work on the friendship part.

Seeing me get promoted impressed Vince. So he changed his lifetime want to become a celebrity chef too. He used some of his aspiration reward tools to get him up to the top of his skill level. For instance, he used the simvac to absorb the aspiration out of other sims to keep him high enough to wear the thinking cap to study.






Vince was still going strong the next day, raising his skills so that he could go into work with me.
I went out to check the mail and finally got the chance to see my sister, Marie and her husband Gilbert.


You might recognize Gilbert. He used to own a bakery in Bluewater Village.

Ella spent her morning trying to bring up her grade. She has a D+ and she's upset about it.


To get her mind off of it, I told her that she could invite a friend over and go swimming. She called Vanessa over and swam for a while.


Ella showed Vanessa her best cartwheels.



After Vanessa went home, Vince helped Ella with her homework.


Vince took the first availabe job in the culinary career and went to work with me the next day.

Ella sure did miss us. She ran out to greet us when we got home.

After a few more days, Vince and I both became Celebrity Chefs.

Since we've both achieved our lifetime aspiration, we opened up our restaurant, Sims Cove.
This is the front

and the back, this is where all the guest are seated to dine. Inside is a bar and a small bakery section.
