Well here's Kasha blowing off some steam after our visit to her "home". She was mad that we were mad and for the life of me I couldn't understand why! WE were the one's shelling out money for an education she threw back in our face.....WE were the last ones to find out that our DAUGHTER was in a serious relationship.....oh by the way she was also engaged! And never told us! We were so hurt and so disappointed in her!



Just look at him.....I can't believe that THIS is what my daughter threw her life away for! I mean he's nothing! But Kasha made it very clear that he was what she wanted whether or not she had our blessing but she really did want to have it......now what could I say to that?



Her and the loser went out to dinner to discuss mine and Anna's offer. I told her that I would not oppose their marriage IF: 1.) They had to move into the empty duplex beside ours.....that house they were in needed too much work on it 2.) She had to come work at her mother's store, Picture This!, to work off the money we had paid into college for her and 3.) this was Anna's stipulation, she had to let us throw her a big wedding like we did for Aiden. Kasha was pretty stubborn and wanted to play professional sports not work at her mom's shop. I told her she could play sports as soon as she had worked off her debt! The loser, I'm sorry, CRAIG told her it wasn't a bad offer and if they were close to us we could help them with their kids.....KIDS? I hadn't even really accepted the marriage yet!



In other news, Rochella Jalise was really getting into fashion and all her cousins were wearing her designs by this time.....she talked her dad into loaning her the money to start a small shop while she was still in school so by the time she graduated, she would be established. Now AJ was tight with money but he also believed in his daughter's talent and wanted to support her.



And so was born RJ Taylor....she didn't think it was too egotistic to name it after herself, after all they were her designs! AJ promised her if she could get her business up to at least level 3 he would get a house for her and Gabriella Elise to share that was in a given price range! They were so excited at the possibility of owning their own home!



She got to work designing the inside and before they knew it, it was the grand opening of the first RJ Taylor! Gabriella Elise was so proud of her sister and wanted to help her succeed.....she was excellent at hairstyling and promised her sister that once they got the money to afford a chair, she would help out by also offering make overs.....Rochella Jalise was excited to work with her sister.



The store was a success and the girls knew that house was as good as theirs! Rochella Jalise spent all her time when she wasn't studying in the store. She loved dressing people in her designs and seeing them walk out better people!



Here's just an example of the wonderful work she did. She even had plans for a big runway show when she could get enough models together....she may have to get all the women in the family to be her models! Seems we had an awful lot of girls! I hoped that I would get a grandson soon!



Gabriella Elise spent her time studying and working out.....her dream was to play on a WNBA team or even a women's soccer team....she just loved all sports! She took time out from all of this to help her sister out with the store.....she wanted that house just as much as her sister!



Meanwhile, we broke the news to Kelly and Aiden about Kasha....they couldn't believe she would do that....but Kelly also thought it was kinda sweet.....I failed to see the sweetness! Aiden wasn't too happy with his little sister either! But he had other things on his mind......



Because he and Kelly had had a beautiful baby girl that they named Fallon.....oh my first grandchild....and she was so gorgeous! Aiden was so excited that he was a father....I knew that little girl was going to be rotten! I also hoped I would get a grandson soon!!



Jayla was learning to drive and was anxious to get on the road by herself.....she was still looking for a modeling job that could jump start her career.



And Jordan and Damien felt the time slipping away from them so they decided they hadn't been spending enough time together....so they got dressed up and Damien took her out for a night on the town....she was so surprised and happy!



And as for me? Well my Anna was getting overwhelmed with Kasha's wedding coming up so I decided it was a perfect time to take her on a second honeymoon back to Twikki Island. But this time we stayed in the nice small vacation home I had gotten for us before retirement.



For years this beautiful woman had graced me with her presence and blessed me with 2 wonderful kids and I could not have asked for a better partner to share my life.



This vacation was just what we needed to forget about all the trouble brewing at home with Arlen and Keven and Kasha and Craig.....we just wanted to relax and enjoy being together....it was just like when we first got married, before we had the kids.



Anna brought out the fun in me.....she made me not take life so seriously and appreciate the smaller things.....and I reminded her of this when she started worrying about Kasha.....after all we had raised her very good and she was a smart girl and I was sure this would work out for the best.....but I would never tell Kasha that! Hmph I wanted her to SWEAT!!!



No one could ask for a better wife....and I kinda hoped she felt the same way about me! I did everything I could to make sure that she was always happy in my arms....



Because she was the most beautiful girl in the world.....



And I was the luckiest man alive! Well you know, other than having an insane daughter!!
