~ Year One ~ Spring ~ Week One ~ Sunday ~

Hello! I'm Idalia Vega and I have no idea what I'm doing! I will not pretend to be an expert at anything at all and I will take each day and challenge as it comes! My sisters think I live life recklessly and they just might be right but what is life if you're sitting down waiting for things to happen? Sounds BORING to me. I'd rather be SOARING through it even if I might run right into a glass door and end a little sore and...heh heh, do not get me started!

~Year One~Spring~Week One~Wednesday~

So this is my second date and I must admit he has a better chance at being a mate, perhaps it is even fate because Corbin Fernandez is a fan of horses and he wears a cowboy hat at that too!

"Why'd you ask me about horses any ways?" he asks, after I had spent the introduction of our date asking how he felt about those majestic creatures. "Do you have one? Lots of folk around here seem to have one or two, more horses than cars in this town I think."

"Oh no, I don't have any at all and that's the issue! I'd like one someday."

"I don't have one either but looking to get into the business of owning them. Always hard to start at the ground floor though."

Corbin here wants to breed horses and sell them, not so much ride them, but he says he can if he needs to. So far, I like him! He's not the most handsome of men and despite being around my age he looks a little older? I think it's that silly stache he has, but other than that, there is something here!

"Nectar huh? Homemade too? How's that going?" He asks, seemingly impressed with my entrepreneurial spirit.

"It's a lot of fun but isn't really paying off right now I fear."

"Don't worry about it, that hard work will pay off eventually. Always does."

What will be, will be. I hope I left a good impression but life moves on and I need simoleons. So, I searched for an odd job to fill my pockets and also pass a little time!

Well, it looks like it’s me. I’m the sister that couldn’t do without family. The one who couldn’t move too far away. The one who had to stay close to home.

Soledad.

Did I draw the short straw or the long one? With my family, it’s hard to say.

Papa has become something of a disgrace. He’s distant, unreliable, and doing whatever it is he does. As for mama? She’s done so much for all of us that it’s hard to ask more of her.

So that leaves me.

I’m here for her. She needs one of us to stay behind, to be there for her when she gets older and needs help. I’d ask the same of my own kids someday, after all, we all need someone to lean on, but that’s all in the future.

Right now, I need to worry about finding a job, because if I don’t, I won’t even be able to take care of myself, let alone also taking care of mama.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much out there for me job wise.

~ Year One ~ Spring ~ Week One ~ Tuesday ~

I'm a woman who likes to wake up early because there are a lot of benefits to it, actually. I would get into that but I'm sure most of the details might bore you BUT before you night owls freak out, please understand that you are just wired that way and unfortunately the world isn't wired for you. Not many options for a night owl when it comes to work.

As for cats? Well, they sleep whenever and wherever they like and you better get used to that.

I suppose I should get to explaining a little bit more about my life. A summary at least?

Well, I'm Nayara Vega, as I've already mentioned and I've moved as far away as possible from my family just to simply challenge myself. Despite being an honor roll student, despite being labeled a genius, despite getting scholarship offers from every institution that you could probably think of, I turned them all down and I must admit to you all, I have no idea why.

A life of science or medicine or politics sounds torturous to me and I feel I'm only showing my intelligence by dodging each one.

What then will I do with my life? Yeah, I have no idea. I figure life will figure itself around me one way or another and besides, I can always seek higher education if I wish at a later time. I'm still a young adult with most of my life ahead of me!

~ Year One ~ Spring ~ Week One ~ Tuesday~

Instead of throwing my name out into the job market I decide to look into other things to create so that I can sell. Crafts and arts and things like that. There's candle making and pottery, either one I think would be a good skill to have but I also have no experience with either. Not like that's going to stop me from trying but it is something to make note of.

Meet Soledad Vega...

The glue that holds the women of her family together, a warm and gentle soul who is easy to love. She's a magnet of likeability who radiates good vibes.

She likes to consider herself connected to the world around her, not in an outdoorsy way, but in a spiritual way. Always wanting to do what is best for the community and world around her and trying to see the good in the world and everyone in it.

Being the oldest Vega sister means she is the heart of her family, the pulse of it. With Idalia she has become a grounding force for the youngest to look up to while with Nayara, things are little more complicated, but even then, the middle sisters intensity calms before her.

She's also a creative soul! A woman who loves all kinds of crafting and hopes to give the world just a small piece of herself through her art and crafts...
