19 year old actress

and

[name]Connor[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]Sterling[/name]
21 year old pediatrician[/i]

[name]Connor[/name] and [name]Lottie[/name] were best friends since elementary school, they lived across the street from each other and stayed close throughout middle and high school. When [name]Lottie[/name] got her first acting job, the role of a little girl in [name]Tim[/name] [name]Burton[/name]'s “Miss [name]Peregrine[/name]'s Peculiar Children”, he kept her grounded. She continued acting, eventually landing a lead role at age sixteen in a fairy tale turned upside down sort of movie. That same year, he left for college across the U.S., in [name]Boston[/name]. They wrote letters and stayed close, but [name]Lottie[/name] dated a handsome actor while he dated a girl he went to school with in [name]Boston[/name]. When he graduated he returned to San [name]Francisco[/name] for Medical School. [name]Lottie[/name] recently broke up with her boyfriend. Now, [name]Connor[/name] lives in a two bedroom apartment with his friend, and [name]Lottie[/name] is living with her parents in their townhouse, while attending Acting School. Still just friends.

[name]ONE[/name] YEAR LATER

[name]Lottie[/name] and [name]Connor[/name] soon realized they were meant to be together and dated for three months before he proposed on a trolley car, headed to the beach for the day. She accepted and spent the next nine months planning their wedding aboard a big fancy ship. Wedding Dress: http://sangmaestro.com/wp-content/up...ng-dresses.jpg Bridesmaids: http://www.theweddingyentas.com/wp-c...maid-Dress.jpg Ship: http://www.glamour.com/weddings/blog...rk-city_we.jpg . After the honeymoon in Santorini, Greece, they buy a small three bedroom apartment in the heart of the city. Soon after the move, [name]Lottie[/name] find she is pregnant! They decorate a beautiful new nursery for their new son http://www.potterybarnkids.com/room/...nur/romnurses/. And nine months later, [name]Lottie[/name] has a little boy named [name]Louis[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Sterling[/name] [name]Louie[/name]. Later, the three adopt a young Newfoundland puppy, and name her Darling.

TWO YEARS LATER

[name]Louie[/name] is two, and [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Lottie[/name] decide he needs a little brother or sister to keep him occupied. [name]Lottie[/name] grew up with three brothers and a sister, and [name]Connor[/name] was an only child, so he knew the loneliness of being the only kid. [name]Lottie[/name] also finished up recently with her latest movie, she was a mermaid. With that money she earned, they finally buy a nice house of their own, with a big yard for their future kids. http://zephyrsf.com/san-rafael/80-montecito-rd . They decorate one of the rooms as a nursery. http://www.potterybarnkids.com/room/rom/romnur/romnursan/ . Nine months later, they have a beautiful son, [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]Sterling[/name].

FOUR YEARS LATER

PART [name]ONE[/name]:
My name is [name]Joanna[/name] [name]Fay[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]. I am 23 years old. I have been married to my husband, [name]Kristopher[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Webber[/name], for about 6 months. We met when I we both worked for [name]Barak[/name] [name]Obama[/name]'s first presidential campaign. I was 18, just out of highschool, and [name]Kris[/name] was 19 and in his first year of law school. We had such dreams then, and [name]Barak[/name] was the hometown choice here in Chicago. After we won the presidential election, I prepped myself for journalism school, dreaming of the day I would see my byline in the newspaper. I never expected to get married so young, but I found out I was pregnant and we rushed into everything. We had some spotting 3 days after the wedding and found out that we had a blighted ovum and we would not be having a baby. It was sad, but we worked through it and don’t regret getting married so soon. My parents had been putting away money for my wedding for years, and since we did the quickie wedding, they had about $12,000 to give us as a wedding gift. We used it on a down payment for a lovely old farm house on 10 acres in [name]Malta[/name], just south of Chicago.

PART TWO:
[name]Just[/name] after my last blog, we decided to try for a baby and we got truely blessed. We found out we were having triplets. Almost three years ago, on [name]September[/name] 16th, I gave birth to Anntonia [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Krista[/name] [name]Fay[/name], and [name]Morgan[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Webber[/name]. They are the light of our lives. Anntonia, who goes by [name]Nia[/name], is very outgoing. She loves clothes and dancing. [name]Krissy[/name] is quieter, she loves to “read” books and is very in to nature. [name]Morgan[/name] is a little car nut. We call him “Speedy”. He loves to look at things that go, especially if they go fast. We got the kids a pet frog ([name]Kris[/name] is allergic to dander) and the kids named him [name]Kermit[/name] after their favorite frog. You should have seen their faces when “[name]Kermit[/name]” started laying eggs. [name]Kermit[/name] is now Karmin, and we are waiting and watching for the tadpoles to hatch.
PART THREE
So much has sappened in the last two years. I went back to work part time, made it about six months and discovered I was pregnant again. Can you believe it? I gave birth to 10lb 2oz [name]Nolan[/name] [name]Kristopher[/name] [name]Webber[/name] in [name]June[/name]. The kids all call him Nono, because every time they got to rambunctious around him we would say No No. Well, it stick, and now he is Nono.

PART FOUR
Time has really flown by. My baby is no longer a baby. We just celebrated his 2nd birthday. On a side note, [name]Kris[/name] lost his job a few months back. [name]Rick[/name] [name]Bryant[/name], the founding member of the law firm where [name]Kris[/name] worked, passed away suddenly from a heart attack. His 2 sons, [name]Davis[/name] and [name]Parker[/name], and his daughter, [name]Lena[/name], began fighting over everything, and rather than work together, they closed the firm. It was a really sad day. I guess everything happens for a reason because after 6 months of searching he found a positon consulting on a new legal drama along the lines of [name]Boston[/name] Legal with a lot of young stars. It is called Over Ruled. We are really excited to see where this leads. It’s going to be mighty fun!

What’s their story?
[name]Ariel[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] grew up together, they lived right next door from each other since [name]Ariel[/name] was 6. In high school [name]Leo[/name] asked [name]Ariel[/name] out, because his feelings for her where so strong. They were always referred to as the “forever couple” he was the athletic one, she the artsy. He spent his time either on the fields or with her, and she spent her time in the art studio her parents had set up for her, or with him. Their senior year of high school they won prom queen and king together. He graduated a year before her and decided to stay in town and go to the community college 20 minutes away. He waited for her to graduate and then proposed in her favorite spot, the beach that they went to as young children. She of course said yes, and 4 months later, in [name]September[/name] they got married. Upon returning from their honeymoon they settled down in a 4 bedroom townhouse in Seattle, [name]Washington[/name].

A year later, established in their careers they have both decided they aren’t ready to have children, they want to wait until they are both a little bit older, but they quickly take in their best friends, [name]Katie[/name] and [name]Mike[/name]‘s three children when the young kids’ parents die in a horrible plane accident. [name]William[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] is just barely 3 months old, and twins [name]Kaia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] [name]Finn[/name] are 3. [name]Katie[/name] and [name]Mike[/name] had just gotten two kittens, so [name]Ariel[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] take them in, knowing the children will adjust a little bit better with their animals. Their names are [name]Riley[/name] and [name]Nora[/name].

They decide it is time to move into a bigger townhouse, since the children are getting older and they want to have a child of their own. They move into a 5 bedroom, upstairs/downstairs townhouse not far from where they where first living. Everyone gets their own room and one room is turned into a nursery for twins 3 months after moving in when [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Ariel[/name] find out they are expecting! [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Lola[/name] and [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Leo[/name] are born 6 months later!

[name]Story[/name]: [name]Arabella[/name] and [name]North[/name] met while they were in highschool, and fell in love immediately. [name]Arabella[/name] was a freshman and [name]North[/name] was a sophmore. They were in the same study hall and gym class together. After dating for six years, [name]North[/name] finally popped the big question! They had been happily engaged for 8months and tied the knot in the middle of [name]Spring[/name] on a nice sunny day. They live in [name]Denver[/name] where [name]Arabella[/name] is the official owner of the [name]Colorado[/name] Avalanches-[name]Colorado[/name]'s finest hockey team. Being the daughter of the previous owner, and being a huge sports fan herself, it only made sense her father would pass on the rights to the team to her. [name]North[/name] attended the University of [name]Denver[/name]. He majored in Sports Medicine. He too is a major sports fan- probably one of the reasons [name]Arabella[/name] and him get along so well. After graduating, [name]North[/name] became a Sport’s Medicine [name]Doctor[/name] and treats the hockey players on [name]Arabella[/name]'s team. He also sees many other famous athletes from [name]Colorado[/name]. [name]North[/name] and [name]Arabella[/name] live in a gigantic farm house and own horses. The two of them have three horses that race in the Kentucky [name]Derby[/name].
After being married for a year, the couple’s best friends from highschool die in a plane crash. They left Mr. and Mrs. [name]Holley[/name] their three children: [name]Orson[/name] [name]Wyn[/name], [name]Ella[/name] [name]Dee[/name], and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Ann[/name] [name]Anderson[/name]. Not knowing how to help the two older children cope with their pain, or even how to begin to explain to them why their mom and dad will never come back, [name]North[/name] and [name]Arabella[/name] bought them a puppy [name]Jack[/name] [name]Russell[/name]: [name]Todd[/name]. The children loved [name]Todd[/name] so much. They particularly enjoy watching [name]Todd[/name] run with the horses.

Two years later the two have their first child together. He is a healthy little baby boy named [name]Brett[/name] [name]Dunstan[/name]. [name]Orson[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] are physched that they are have a little brother. [name]Ella[/name], however, is jealous and fears that she isn’t getting the same amount of attention. After a few months [name]Ella[/name] warms up to baby [name]Brett[/name].

Four years down the road [name]Orson[/name] and [name]Ella[/name] are in third grade and [name]Iris[/name] is in first grade. [name]Todd[/name] is getting lazy and isn’t as fun as he used to be. The children are sad and think something might be wrong with him. Fearing the worst, [name]North[/name] and [name]Arabella[/name] tak [name]Todd[/name] to the vet. Luckily, [name]Todd[/name] is perfectly healthy. He is just lonely now that the children are mostly away in school. And since [name]Todd[/name] isn’t really [name]Brett[/name]'s dog, [name]Brett[/name] never really played with [name]Todd[/name]. [name]North[/name] decided to cheer [name]Todd[/name] up by bringing hi=me a two year old cat named [name]Ponce[/name]. [name]Todd[/name] is thrilled to have a new friend. For a cat, [name]Ponce[/name] doesn’t mind his dog companion.
