Sophia gave me a sullen good morning. Our Love Day marathon had amounted to nothing…again. I didn’t want to make Sophia feel worse by reacting to her, so I just took several intentional deep breaths. It was moving day, and I wanted to bring positive energy into our new house. But man was that hard to hear. The doctor said we had a chance, but it seemed less and less likely with every negative test Sophia tossed in the trashed. Even I found it more difficult to stay positive. The excitement of moving was our only saving grace that day.
To make matters worse, rain greeted us upon our arrival in San Sequoia. The universe seemed determined to crush our spirits. Why would it do that? We were good sims who never hurt anyone. We didn’t deserve any of that. Still, nothing could stamp out my excitement that day. At long last, I stood in front of my very own house next to the woman I loved. Life was good.
Hello! It’s me, Jess. I’m gonna temporarily pause the story here while Luca and Sophia get moved in and settled, but they will be back soon! Like legit soon. I already have the next few chapters written! I’m enjoying this story so much if I don’t pause, I’ll never make it back to The Piersons & Friends. Enjoy some exterior pics until we get back.
Here’s the front porch with the swing he was excited about.
The side yard is supposed to be a garden area, but the only gardening Luca is gonna do is tending to the money tree, so I thought it was perfect to do some yoga classes if he decides to start doing them at home again.
This is the other side yard (we’ll call it the backyard) view from the street. It’s a nice size yard for the kiddoes to play and ride bikes. Can’t wait for him and Ali to build the treehouse together.

And finally, the upstairs balcony off the master bedroom. Luca’s got his gear out there to record his morning yoga. Sophia has already claimed one of the rocking chairs.
After these messages, we’ll be riiiiight back!
