    @AllieMac Congrats on Dace's birthday and ... wow - interesting about his theory of what happened to Dusk!

    @alliemac, such a cool chapter! I already know how Dusks story ends but Dace's part of the story is very interesting!

    @Vihisha That's soo cool that you found Bullet Journaling as well!! Isn't it amazing how incredibly life changing they can be?!? My little channel is finally starting to gain some momentum. Go take a peek if you're looking for some inspiration. (The Mighty BuJo) Personally, I love watching other people setting up their pages. I find it so relaxing - especially the Mood Mandalas. I've got a lot of Drifter pages in mine now, so much in fact that I think I'm going to do a separate video on it. I'm tracking the Family Stats with it for House 005. No more having post it notes and scrap paper all over my desk with random scribblings that I can't read half the time. Last night I sat down and made a timeline for cooking Thanksgiving dinner. First year I feel ready to tackle that big meal. I'm about to finish editing that one and hopefully will be posting it this morning.
    It's crazy how much having a Bullet Journal has keep me organized & on track!! I Subscribed 2 your channel & I was able 2 watch your latest video! Fun 2 watch & I'll b checking out your previous vids as well..I'd love 2 c your journal!
    I have a couple Drifter pages..but they r mostly just 2 remember some frequently asked questions & that type of thing ;)
    My parents & I r splitting up the Thanksgiving tasks & we'll b @ their place this time, so I don't have much 2 plan out! Woooo! LOL But come Christmas time, I think I'll b adding things into my journal 2 space out all the things needing 2 get done!

    @Vihisha Awww! Thanks for subscribing!! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. And you're absolutely right - it's INSANE how much bullet journaling can actually change your life. Even my daughter commented on how I seem more "with it" since starting mine. haha I'll be doing a full flip thru of my first journal soon(ish). Once I catch up on everything. Tonight I'm HOPING to do my Christmas Prep pages. The plan is to publish that by Saturday, but we'll see. And I will have a bunch of Christmas spreads as well. :)

    @Karise & @Illusie I'm glad y'all like Dace's little contributions to Dusk's story! @Charliimai did such a great job his story. She pushed me to up my game so I could hopefully add another layer to it. :) And speaking of Dace & Dusk...

    @AllieMac Ooh intriguing. Just what have those aliens been up to? Hmmm? :smiley:
  • AllieMacAllieMac Posts: 925 Member

    @Vihisha No problem. They'll be waiting for you. :) I can see why you would have needed one when setting up the challenge! Hopefully I'll get most of my Christmas pages filmed today, but we'll see. Thanksgiving and tree assembly have to trump the bullet journal at least til Friday. Well maybe. hehe

    @Karise Those sneaky little Aliens! Who woulda thought, huh?

    @alliemac, Happy thanksgiving!

    Congrats on the alien roommate! Such a relief there still was a free spot!
  • AllieMacAllieMac Posts: 925 Member

    @Illusie I was sweating it the whole way through. I just knew that I'd end up with too many kids and fail the challenge, which would mean having to write House 004 FOUR times. *shudders in horror* But I dodged that bullet and snagged a roomie. :)

    29. Closure

    Just as Diego and Dace are about to go to work, the arrival of a visitor changes both of their plans dramatically.

    Grimm: “It’s time.”
    Diego: “Already?”

    Grimm gravely nods.

    @alliemac, yes and I'm glad you dodged that bullet!
    That is a bit a scary ending! I wonder what changes they made in Dace's memory. And there was me thinking Grim was an ally...
  • KariseKarise Posts: 1,198 Member
    @AllieMac Ooh more drama. Hope it turns out ok.
  • AllieMacAllieMac Posts: 925 Member
    @Illusie & @Karise I'm glad you're enjoying the dramatic turn things have taken. Hopefully this will have been worth the wait. :)

    @alliemac, I agree with what Karise said. It is a very good story and I like this turn of the plot!
  • AllieMacAllieMac Posts: 925 Member
    @Karise & Illusie Thanks! @Charlliemae was definitely a tough act to follow, but I had a lot of fun doing it. :)



    31. A Family Outing


    When offered to spend the day down at the festival with his children and mother, Dace jumps at the chance, especially once he realizes Navya will not be joining them because she has to work.

    After a brief discussion, they quickly realize not everyone is in agreement on what to do, so they decide to split up and to meet later in the day.

    The comment about being happy that Navya is not joining made me laugh. Poor Dace, the relationship really isn't that good. Do you regret choosing her?
    So excited to see Cassia again!!
  • AllieMacAllieMac Posts: 925 Member
    @Illusie I really didn't want Navya as his wife and she's the main reason I kept restarting. There just weren't any good options. I didn't like her traits, but she turned out to be so fun to write. She was rarely mean, she just ignored everyone and rarely interacted w her family. She and Dace basically avoided each other. And I LOVE all the great facial expressions I got from her. She wrote herself for the most part. :)

    @alliemac, you did a good job with writing her character.
    Such a sad chapter.
  • KariseKarise Posts: 1,198 Member
    @AllieMac So nice they got a lovely day out together before Grimmie came.
  • AllieMacAllieMac Posts: 925 Member
    @Illusie Navya did turn out to be quite the character. Didn't she?
    @Karise I was glad that they had that last day of fun together.


    33. Navya Strikes Again

    Late at night while all of her children are sleeping, Navya manages to break into the files of Lae D. Vi’s Law Office and discovers a file that should have been encrypted better.
