The recent story that I submitted was based (somewhat) on my experiences during and after the time that my long time boyfriend was deployed overseas to the war in Iraq. We're not actually married yet, (we've been together for several years) and I didn't have a baby with him, but a lot of the experiences I wrote about were things that we've been going through since he got home. Anyway, I thought you all might like to meet the "real life" Jessica and Thomas......which is actually me (Robin) and my boyfriend Dan. My Sim "Thomas" looks so much like my boyfriend, that it's uncanny! I didn't do so well on making Jessica look like me. (she's much prettier!) This first picture is one that we took right before he was deployed. We were able to spend several days at the beach before he left. This is the "real" me. This is the "real" Thomas. And this is Dan when he finally came home. And this is a picture I had a friend of mine take of me while he was in Iraq and I sent it to him.
