Introduction: Julia and Paul Avery had a good marriage. Paul had a successful business career while Julia looked after their three children. Though Paul was uncertain about a live-in mother-in-law, Patricia was a great help as Paul's worked demanded longer and longer hours. This all changed the day Julia walked in on Paul having an affair with one of his coworkers. Furious, Julia served him with divorce papers and moved as quickly as she could. 
Julia: Well, this hasn't been the smoothest transition in my life, that's for sure. How was I to know that the man I loved was actually a filthy, no good, lying weasel? But life goes on, no matter what, and moving on is the first thing to do!
With a family to rebuild, the first step was to find a new man! After going through the yellow pages I found the dating section and chose a matchmaker. This woman's ad sounded good and she'd even come right to your own home! Convenience was just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with the first guy she set me up with. He was nice enough, but closer to my mother's age than mine!
The date was a flop, but that didn't mean I could sit around and mope. No sir! I have my three kids to see to. My mom is great with helping the kids with their homework. Thank goodness for my mother--I don't know what I'd do without her. Maybe still be back with that scumbag of a husband.
Next free moment I had I gave that old woman another call. Told her to pick someone younger this time! The guy she chose was alright, good-looking enough, but we just didn't hit it off. Between my job in Education, his in Law Enforcement, and my kids, there just wasn't enough time!
My love life might not've been tops, but everything else was coming along well. I was one step closer to my dream of becoming the Minister of Education! On the day that I was promoted, my twins came home with a pair of A+s. I couldn't have been prouder!
I was so proud, I decided to get a puppy for the family. See, Kathleen and Jason had really been wanting a pet, and Helen was heading off to college soon, so it seemed the perfect time for a little addition to our family. Oh, and speaking of Helen, well, that girl found herself a boyfriend! I sure was happy for her, but I'll let her tell it...
Helen: Ugh, my mom is so bossy. She's all 'Helen, do this; Helen, do that'. 'Get a job, Helen; help the twins with their homework'. What am I, an adult? I mean, I know things are all different now since Dad's a jerk and everything, but I just wanna have fun! Isn't that what being a teen's all about?
Anyway, even though I had tons to do, I still found a guy! His name's Ricky Cormier, and he's dreamy. We went on a date to the park and he gave me my first kiss! Wow!
My mom says to be careful and make sure he's the one, but I'm not worried at all. I'm certain he's the one. Also, he says he's going to the same college as me, so we'll be able to keep dating! Isn't that great??
Julia: Heh, that's a teen for you. As for the other members of the family, they're doing well. Mom's gotten far in her Gamer career, but she says she's too old to go any further. I'm sorry that she'll never be able to reach her dream of Game Design, but I sure do appreciate her help around the house.
Jason and Kathleen have been doing well, too. They've taken the move great, actually. I was a little concerned since they aren't old enough to really understand what happened. Then again, I suppose they were used to not seeing their dad much anyway, since that rat was always off at work 'working'. Ahem, yes. Like I was saying, they're doing great and I'm just so pleased. They even help out with the yard-work!
Time went on, and the twins had their birthday and grew into a pair of fine-looking teens. They say they already know what they want out of life, too! Jason is a smart young man who says he'd like to have his own businesses some day. I sure am glad to have a child who appreciates the importance of Fortune. As for Kathleen, well, I'm afraid some of her sister's bad traits rubbed off on her. She says she knows life is all about Pleasure, and all she wants to do is date! Can you believe it?
That's everyone! What about me? Well, as you can see, I gave Ray a callback and our second date was a real dream. Turns out we just needed a little more time to get to know each other. I don't know about him, but I'm already thinking of marriage. With Helen heading off to college and the twins in their teens already, my nest is starting to feel a little empty...
