Gloria's Diary
Eighteen at last! I got the most gorgeous teal dress for my birthday with a full skirt, and I must say I look stunning! Goodbye to high school— but Salim will be attending a local university to earn a business degree. (More of his parents' idea than his own, as his real passion lies with writing.)
I've thought about whether I'd want to go to college too, but Mom says that's not necessary as a man will provide for me someday. And if Salim asked me to marry him, I would accept without a doubt. I'm confident he and I could build a beautiful life together.
When Salvador is working, Mary sometimes comes to visit Mom and me with baby Estela and she is ADORABLE! I can see it now, the kind of life I'd want with Salim, with children of our own, after he graduates of course.

As Mary's due date neared, Salvador did what he could to support and care for his wife. He found himself reconnecting with Anton and reminiscing on their high school years. Though his attraction to Anton remained, above all, Sal valued his friendship.
One day, after Salvador arrived home from work, he found Mary in labor, and after a long grueling process, the young couple welcomed their first child, a girl named Estela Linda Morales.

Gloria's Diary
Salim asked me to our school's Senior Dance and I accepted, of course! I can't believe it's finally my turn to attend with my boyfriend after I was the one who told Sal to ask Mary to his dance in the first place. I wore a beautiful yellow patterned dress and Salim looked dashing in his suit. The gym was transformed with balloons and streamers. I spent a lot of time with both my friends and my boyfriend. Dancing with him felt like a dream!
We stole away out back to the courtyard and he told me, "I don't know how I got so lucky to have you, Gloria. You're beautiful, smart, confident, friendly— and I don't know what I'm going to do after school."
"We're only seventeen, Salim," I told him. "We have time. The night is still young. Will you help me make it last?"
And he did.

Much to consider.
May or may not be collecting CC and name ideas for my prospective Medieval gameplay save…

Dear Gloria,
Mary's well into her second trimester now and we're both growing more excited, though still nervous, about becoming parents. We felt the first kick just this past week! I'm doing all I can to learn how to be a good father from Mary's Papá. I wonder if this is how our Mom and Dad felt before I was born!
We even started to decorate the nursery and got the essentials. Mary selected a calming blue for the walls. We have begun to discuss possible name ideas. I know you will love your little niece or nephew and be a wonderful aunt.
Love, Sal

For much of human history, children were dressed similarly or identical to adults and this was true for the Victorian era which saw children dressed in stiff heavy layers that didn't allow for play. By the 1900s, in line with adult styles, children clothing became much less elaborate. Little girls emulated the elongated silhouette fashionable for adult women with drop waist dresses while boys' clothing became increasingly sailor inspired.
The 1910s established children's clothing as separate to adult styles. Sailor outfits were all the rage, particularly for young boys. WW1 meant rationing so hemlines crept up and clothing became less ornate in construction and embellishments.
After the war, in the 1920s, children's fashion remained simple, gone were the velvets and silk of the Victorians, instead sturdy textiles like cotton were used. Layering had also become a thing of the past, outfits were now often simple one pieces.
The Great depression occured in the 1930s and it left many families destitute. Children's clothing was handmade and sturdy fabrics like denim were favoured; "flour sack" dresses also became common place.
By the 1940s, many families had recovered from the depression but WW2 and rationing still meant that clothing had to be handmade with what was available. Many magazines at the time included simple patterns and any fabric was used even old curtains.
The 1950s are defined by the baby boom. Lots more children around increased demand for children's clothing and for a majority of families, life and finances improved after the war therefore they had money to spend. This lead to mass-manufacture of clothing using synthetic fibres..Young girls fashions were increasingly feminine:full skirt dresses,similar to their mothers, with bows and other hair accessories.
Boys' clothing became sturdier to allow for increased physical activity as the government of many countries began to mandate compulsory phys ed due to high levels of poor fitness exposed by the draft.

As Gloria progressed through her teenage years shortly after her brother's wedding, she began to find her attention focused on Salim Benali, who had worked up the courage to ask her out on a date. They visited the newest diner in town and the date culminated with the two walking around the city and sharing their first kiss. Before long, Gloria and Salim agreed to be girlfriend and boyfriend.

I've noticed a trend of creators uploading custom content to curseforge, and either not linking it here on tumblr, or hiding those links. If you go to a download link and "rightclick -> copy link" and see that the link includes "forgecdn", that is a curseforge link. But bypasses the page and downloads the content immediately. Before you can even tell its a curseforge link.
A lot of creators are trying to use curseforge to host their content, and then hide this from their blogs or download posts, hoping you wont notice when the link takes you to a direct download from curseforge.
stop using curseforge

In late 1949, Mary announced to Salvador that she was pregnant, and he was delighted by the news.
"We'll tell my Mom and sister soon," Sal beamed. "They'll be so excited!"
