Arla Starts Things off with a Kick!

It's Arla's first day in Twinbrook and she's a happy new home owner!  For roughly $15 500, Arla purchased her first home, a two bedroom, one bath bungalow.  Arla loves the fact that the home came with an outdoor entertaining area equip with BBQ and picnic table.  When looking at other homes in the area, at a comparable price-point, Arla chose this home for the second bedroom that others did not offer.  She is eager to start a family, and does not want to have to move or renovate to welcome a new baby, making the second bedroom perfect!  For now, the second bedroom is acting as a studio, for Arla to practice her creativity and research fashion.  The house came furnished, and although it is not the style that Arla would decorate with, she is confidant that she'll be able to use her creativity skills to decorate and refurbish the home to her liking.  Arla's definitely a DIY kind of girl!

Arla began her first day by practicing her fashion drawing.  Although she could just join the fashion oriented career path, she isn't confidant with her skills yet to do so.  To pay the bills and ensure that she has plenty of time to practice drawing, Arla has chosen to temporarily work at the local spa part-time.  She put in her resume and was hired as a beverage consultant, working 5 days a week for 15 hours/week.  To start, she make $33/hour.

 That afternoon, Arla walked around the park near the spa and introduced herself to some of the people in town.  She met Rod Lee, and the two seemed to hit it off great.  Although Arla wants to have a large family in the near future, her fear of commitment gets in her way, and she failed to ask Rod on a date.

Later that night, Arla felt discouraged and ate ice cream straight from the carton.  It's not even her favourite food!  She came to her senses and gave Rod a call.  They chatted for almost an hour!  After hanging up the phone, Arla felt great and threw the ice cream out and made her favourite meal, macaroni and cheese... even is it was horrific quality.  Exciting things lay ahead for Arla Knight!
