December 2011
We got a little sick of Giano for a lot of different reasons, the biggest ones being the random jerkwads wandering around, and then there was the pedo. Giano is a really nice place, but it seemed like the "Community" wasn't there, nor the concern for the actual community members. Events weren't happening, and some of the people were just getting on our nerves. For this reason and a few others, a bunch of my family and some of our (mostly Dev's) great friends came together, and we created our own community. Back in the middle of December, we started with 3/4's of a sim on the Umbrella region and we named it Misthaven. Misthaven bloomed slowly over the next month as we put in lots of hours getting our dream community settled in. Christmas came in the middle of that and it was amazing for us. I had at the time, the best 5 children in all of second life. Now, I am thankful to say I have 6. Christmas was magical in Misthaven, we had Santa and snow, and love and only a few minor annoyances to deal with. The kids were spoiled rotten and we had an amazing time.
January 2012
I don't even know if I remember January much LOL. We somewhat expanded Misthaven slowly, and just kept plugging away.. oh and I think I had that terrible nasty Flu in January too.
February 2012
Sadly in February things between the Muggins family and ours went poof. There was much too much manipulation, and drama concerning one of my then nieces, and we were fed up with the crap and game playing. At the time of the ending it was very hard, but it's funny how, when you let something toxic go it's own way.. the sun shines through, and you can feel the warmth, see the smiles, and the laughter returns to your heart. Though this ending was a really difficult one, and sometimes I think of Kenni.. and only Kenni.. I know the right thing happened in the end. Misthaven has grown to a full sim, and we are not only fully rented, but thriving and have a wait list. Family life has also become way less strained and worry filled now that we are not always having to deal with a certain greifer/game playing jerk. Life is good in family land, and in Misthaven.
March 2012
Misthaven had a coloring contest for St. Patty's Day and we went on vacation.. whoa.. craaazy vacation.
We started out on Cannibal island, which was neat, but very open and somewhat strange.. and.. well.. full of noobs! Most of the time we were there, it was fine, we enjoyed not having to work on things (mostly) and just getting to be with each other. There was one night, i sat just listening to the kids playing Sowwy, and reading my book. I was a quiet observer, and it really was nice to not chime in or think much.. and just "be" with my kids.
During our vacation, we enjoyed getting to know Dev's buddy Trip Hastings. He stayed with us on the island, visited Hawaii with us, and came along on the cruise on the Galaxy. We liked Trip so so much, that we Tripnapped him. Trip is the newest Darkfold kidlet in the mix. Though he's new.. he's definitely loved.
April 2012
OY can I say buuuuuuuussssyyyyy! Misthaven had an egg hunt.. 300 eggs in the park.. and a sprained clicker finger! It was super amazingly fun, and Easter overall was great. Kerwin's birthday, mine as well, plus his Rezday, Dev aging to 5, Lia de-aging to 3, Trip joining us, new house being built, new family "settling in" Misthaven tenant changes, Doctor D's house finishing.. Kidz Klub no more.. AAAAAACKKK holds my head.. oh.. and.. a new crush..
Stop the presses.. a new SL crush? really? MMhm.. Jewel has been chatting it up (oh I mean I have) with Gideon Darkwatch.. who lives in the newest section of Misthaven with his 3 children Miriam, Evie, and Noah.. Oddly enough.. yes.. my lil brother Noah.. straaaaange things in Second Life huh?
Ami moved back into Misthaven, adopted Enzo, so guess what.. I am still an Auntie too! Woooot!

Love,
~Jewel/Mommy/Auntie
