Why do you like riding old mares?
Oh this is a fun story. So one of the horses I loved riding the most was this old mare named The Lady. Beautiful mare, white with speckled grey all over. Started riding her when I was probably seven or eight years old down in Tennessee.
Now the thing to note about Tennessee, especially the Gatlenburg area where I was at, is there's a lot of wildlife.
Anyway, we were riding through the Smokeys on a thin trail one evening, and the horse in front of me started wigging out. Young stallion, maybe three years old. My brothers horse, also a pretty young man, also started to freak out. But Lady? Nah, no fucks given.
This old mare watched the colt in front of her piss himself and back in to the brush, and just munched on the very same bush, like it's the office water cooler during crunch time.
So we take a peek around the bend and see a black bear just vibing near the path. The other guy and my brother spot it before I do, scream, and that's enough to scare it off. But the two colts WOULD NOT LEAVE THE BUSHES until Lady got tired of their shit and just started walking.
And honestly? That's a level of girlboss I can get behind.

J’ai pensé à tous les endroits que j’ai voulu visiter ou étudier à l’etranger. Mon liste comprend des destinations comme New York, Londres, Tokyo, Hawaii, et Paris. Cette année, j’ai été à Orlando, Los Angles et Gatlenburg, mais j’espère voyager plus bientôt. Certaines des chooses que j’attends avec impatience lorsque je voyage sont d’essayer de nouveau alimments, de faire du shopping, et de visiter de parcs à thème, comme Disney ou Universal.

August Thirtieth; May We Always Be Awake to the Wonders
August Thirtieth; May We Always Be Awake to the Wonders
Shark!! One place that I have been fascinated and amazed by since the first visit, is Ripley’s Aquarium. Like a kid in a candy store, I was excited to be able to visit the one in Gatlenburg, Tennessee while we were there last week. We really contemplated going up to that new suspension bridge but the cost was prohibitive for us. I simply couldn’t see spending all of my son’s hard earned money…

Intro- 1/13
My name is Lilly, I’m from West Jefferson which is a village outside of Columbus. I love being outside even if it’s just in my backyard. It’s most definitely where I find my peace. My favorite season is the spring, I love cool misty mornings that warm as the sun wakes up and chilly nights where the grass is wet and you start to notice the sound of bugs again. I love the outdoors so much I am graduating with an Environmental science degree in the spring (Sounds about right, right).
Traveling is another passion of mine. I am curious about the Earth and love exploring. Sometimes, when I play open world video games I find myself spending hours collecting resources instead of following the main quests. I wish i could run around looking at things forever.
I’ve been very lucky to have many opportunities to travel. I have yet to find a place I don’t enjoy. I love city life. Some of my favorites I’ve been to are Chicago and Philadelphia. Both have amazing food, which is probably my one of my favorite aspects of traveling, specifically to the city. If I’m not at home or in the middle of nowhere I better be eating good. I also love museums; art, natural history, old prisons, aquariums, please sign me up.
My favorite vacations are always the more scenic though. My most recent trip was to Montana. I got to go horseback riding and experience the extremely short autumn season that occurs there. I’ve watched the sunset off the Pacific coast  in Washington state and visited the Olympic mountains there as well. I stayed in a cabin in Gatlenburg and hiked a five mile waterfall trail (My boyfriend was NOT happy about me dragging him on that). A couple years ago I visited Destin, Florida for spring break. On that well, I’ll just say that the panhandle is still cold in March. I spent more time in the hot-tub than the ocean. But, it’s not everyday you get to read on the beach under a blanket. (I still somehow managed to get sun burnt too). 
By far my favorite and most impactful trip was two summers ago when I had the opportunity to go to the Peruvian rain forest for a school trip. This trip was life changing. We began in the city of Cuzco, where I got to eat authentic Peruvian food and visit so many amazing ancient landmarks. Then we took a van down the side of the Andes Mountains to descended into the Amazon Rain forest. I got to see monkeys, birds, caiman, bugs, plants, and fungi. I hiked miles and miles in rubber boots and got about a million mosquito bites. I have yet to see a night sky as full and bright as the stars I saw there.
I truly have been so lucky to have had the opportunities I have. But I still have so many places I want to visit! I want to go out west again, and might even be considering moving out there after I finish school. I would love to visit Asia in the next few years. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan.
I’m looking forward to learning more about the world both by experience and in a classroom setting. I can’t wait to keep exploring :)

Seasons Tag!
I was tagged by @xcynicalsimsx to do this tag today, and I decided WHY NOT! I don’t want to clean my room so this is a good way to procrastinate... 😂
1. Which season are you going to play with first?
I don’t really know honestly... I’ll probably just let the game start me where it wants too!
2. From what you’ve seen in the trailer, what are you most excited about?
Oh, definitely the kiddy pool and the swings! I don’t have Backyard, Kids, or even Toddler stuff so my game is really lacking in items for the young ones.
3. What’s your favorite season irl?
I’m an Autumn girl! I hate the rain and when the weather is too hot/cold so Autumn is perfect!
4. What’s your favorite flower/plant?
Orchids and lilies!
5. Are you going to create a new sim/family or are you going to keep your current household?
Defiantly going to keep my current households! I have like 8 already... I’ll just incorporate the new items into those sims.
6. What would you like the see in this new add on we haven’t seen yet?
Nothing in particular... the Easter items?
7. How do you feel about not having a new neighborhood?
I mean I would have liked one, but I understand why they didn’t make one. Seasons DO effect all the neighborhoods so I’m not upset.
8. Snow, rain, sun, or wind?
Snow! I like building snowmen with my sister.
9. Favorite refreshing drink in summer?
Lemonade! I’ve already made two pitchers this Summer and it’s only my second week off.
10. Favorite hot drink in winter?
It’s not hot but egg nog. My friend gave me this recipe and it’s LITERALLY the best nog I’ve ever had in my life!
11. Walk through the forest or by the beach?
The beach because I can walk through a forest whenever I want (there’s one literally down the street from my house) and honestly ticks, snakes, and coyotes are the worst!
12. Swimming pool or the ocean?
Swimming pool since I hate sharks!!
13. Where would you like to travel if you could leave right now for a week?
Gatlenburg! I haven’t been there in SOO long! I want to see the Smokey Mountains again...
14. What new traits would you like to see in the new add on?
Probably just Loves the Cold/Heat like in the sims 3.
15. Do you like the play with supernatural creatures like vampires and aliens? And if so, would you like to have withes/fairies/elves?
YESSS!!!!! I can make one mean looking alien (vampire not so much) and I would LOVE to have witches, fairies, and even mermaids back in the game!
16. What is your favorite thing to do during Winter?
Stay inside and watch Christmas movies while drinking hot chocolate/nog.
17. During Spring?
Look at all the flowers around my area.
18. During Summer?
Going on outings with my friends (we’ve been planning a trip to Holiday World on the 23 and I’m HYPEEEE)
19. During Autumn?
Pick pumpkins with my family and have a ROCKING Halloween party with my friends!
20. Have you already pre-ordered seasons? And if you haven’t, are you going to or just wait until it comes out?
I’m just going to wait... GIRL DOESN’T HAVE MONEY TO BE THROWING AROUND ON GAMES RIGHT NOW!
21. In which neighborhood are you going to play first with seasons?
Probably Forgotten Hollow surpringly. I’ve been playing a lot of my I’m A Lover fam bam and that’s where they live so... YEAH!
22. Do you listen to music while playing? And if so, what are your favorite songs to play to?
Today I was watching Gray’s Anatomy and making football/cheerleaders for my Cliches Challenge 😂 but I usually listen to One More Drink by GJan since it’s my fav bop atm!
23. What’s your favorite thing to do in the sims? Creating sims, building, etc?
I REALLY like creating my sim babies! I mean I’m like everyone else and can’t make different looking people, but I try and that’s all that matters!
24. What’s your favorite kit/pack/add on?
Probably Cats and Dogs because I find myself using the stuff SO MUCH!
25. And finally what add on/pack would you like to see next?
Ooooo, I’ve been craving a tropical island esk pack where my simies could swim in the ocean and be mermaids and such! It could be like Jungle Adventure in a way, where it’s kinda an open world, but instead of forest there would be a giant island!
Whoever wants to do this can, since I don’t want to type a bunch of URL’s 😂
