x x x x x x x( ☆ ) !!! Biography
When I was much younger my parents were killed in a terrible car accident in the city which is where I spent the early part of my childhood. My brother, Jack, and I were sent out to Nirvani to our only living relatives - our grandparents. Although we had an older sister, she was only in college and couldn’t take care of us. So island life was where we headed. Growing up on the island was a complete dream for us! We had visited Grandma and Papa a few times but getting to live there was great! We had none of the issues that made city living bad, learning to swim in the ocean then as I got older to surf and sail. The only problem was when my brother and I outgrew the school on the island we needed more of an education then we could get there. So Grandma and Papa packed up everything and left the little island for good. Living in the city, making friends and going to college had me happy, but my heart still belonged on the island of Nirvani and I was determined to return at some time in my life. I had gotten the opportunity to travel all around the world with my photography degree, Australia, Greece, Italy, Barcelona, and many other places. I had given thought to traveling back to Greece and setting up a shop there when I got a call from Sophie, my sister, about my grandparents.
Grandma and Papa died in a car accident similar to our parents, shortly after my brother's twenty sixth birthday. The three of us were devastated at the loss of the two fantastic people who raised us. Two weeks after the funeral, we went through their home and figured out that things had been separated into three’s. Although our grandparent’s hadn’t planned to be killed, they knew something had been coming. Getting in touch with their lawyer, we found out they were taking precaution due to age. The had left each of us one of the houses – Jack got the country house because that’s where he and Papa fished and did “man things”, Sophie got the city house because she loved the city more than anything, and I got the island home in Nirvani. I helped box up the things for Jack, and the things for me and got in touch with people I knew close enough to the island. Getting the beach house back into a livable shape was a big job, but it got done. Now I get to pack up everything that I know and love and go to where my heart has lived for many, many years.
After spending so much time on the Island I left for a few years and brought my favorite cowboy with me. Tate and I had met while I was still traveling and kept friendly after I finished my PR job at the O'Ballivan Ranch. He met up with me out here and we co-habbed for a while. After a while we got so used to each other he couldn't keep anything from me. He had managed to keep something from me, his idea of proposing! I was completely floored when he asked but of course said yes. We got married back on the mainland with our families and traveled together for a while. Once coming back to Nirvani I realized that I was pregnant for the first time. Tate was floored with the idea of becoming a father and we ended up selling the beach house and moving to a house we built on some land so out child could have plenty of space to live. When the new house was done we traveled back into the city so I could be with my family when I had my baby. My little angel boy was born and has grown into the most adorable child.
In the seven years that’ve passed, it’s been nothing short of crazy. After Brody turned ten things changed -- Tate’s family farm was always profitable but one day they hit oil while digging some of the land. That of course was huge! We immediately traveled to the ranch so that the original O’Ballivan’s could figure out what to do now that they had the chance to earn so much money but also lose the family ranch -- which had been in the family for generations. They ended up deciding on trying to make the land still profitable while still pulling some of the oil out. Turned out that it worked for the best because it generated a rather large sum of money for everyone. Let’s just say that no one in the O’Ballivan family has to work another day in their lives if they don’t want to. As a family we decided to do some traveling with Brody all over the world as well as enroll him in another school off of Nirvani. We got a town-home in the city nearby my sister and over breaks traveled the world. It’s time now for us to return to Nirvani, I miss my photography work -- even though I’ve still done plenty since we’ve been gone -- and Tate now has a chance to own the bar where he once worked so hard. Things are looking up for my family even though my baby boy and I argue now more than ever before. Oh! And one of Tate’s brothers – Kyle and his wife Aly are moving onto Nirvani as well. It should be nice to have family close again; it had been hard before just the three of us. Aside from that, we had to end up rebuilding a house since when we left originally we sold what we had. The construction’s done now and off we go for a new chapter ~

Being raised on a cattle ranch is something that either makes you tough or shows how weak you really are. Dad was never tough on us more than he had to be, but things were hard when Mum died from cancer. I had to raise my sister, Kate, and my brother's Kyle and Cole on the busy O’Ballivan ranch which, let me tell you, sucked big time sometimes. Dad definitely carried the weight of the job, well along with our foreman. My sister’s always been a spitfire, one of the brother's - Cole - followed the most after me, and Kyle's the dreamer so I guess that means I’ve been the one who’s had to get s**t done. That doesn’t mean though that I haven’t gotten into my own shares of trouble through time. I’ve got a bit of a record with the cops for fighting but anything more serious isn’t me. The first to ride a horse out of the three of my siblings and my determination to show off made me a force to be reckoned with while I was on the rodeo circuit. I have some of the damn scars to show some of the more so fierce battles with the bulls. I had to retire from bull riding though when Dad passed about a year ago.
Before Dad passed, he had an idea for the ranch to get better known. For a few weeks we had this photographer chick out to the ranch. She was a smokin’ blonde with blue eyes bright as bluebells, who could wield a camera better than anyone I have ever met. Let’s just say we definitely had some fun in the hay so to say. The chick’s name was Amanda O’Conner and after the few memorable weeks we had, she left as a good friend. While I was gone on rodeo I would hear of how she was doing out in the world, it seemed that taking pictures for Dad won her an award and helped the company a ton. That’s the past though, after Dad passed and my younger brother decided he wanted to run the ranch with his wife, I set out again in search of new adventures. Amanda had sent me a letter about this tiny Island she had moved to out in the middle of nowhere. Sounded like my kinda place to live, and she said she would put me up for a while. I headed out to Nirvani, going to see the smokin’ blonde and let things handle themselves for a while and that worked out well.
In that bit 'a time I was on the small island, I found my nitch as the bartender in town. It worked out well, got decent tips and met some good people. All the while, me and 'Manda were getting closer to each other and starting to rely on each other. After a while I realized I loved my blondie and wanted to make it clear to anyone on the Island she was my girl. She was floored by the proposal which was embarrassing enough but she said yes which made me one damn happy cowboy. We had the big white wedding with a southern twist back on the mainland with our families and traveled together for a while. Once coming back to Nirvani 'Manda realized that she was pregnant with our first child. I was floored with the idea of becoming a father! I'll admit now that I probably got a bit overprotective about it but hell, first time father. We ended up selling the beach house and moving to a house we built on some land so our child could have plenty of space to roam free. When the new house was done we traveled back into the city so 'Manda could be with her family when she had the baby. It's been six years now and the boy's shootin' up like a weed.
In the past seven years we’ve done nothin’ but go crazy. Just after the munchkin turned ten things started changin’. The family ranch turned a profit in a whole new way - oil. Kyle discovered it one day after he had been diggin’ up some things. Once we got the call from him, we all packed up and headed towards home -- figured things out pretty quick between the four of us and now Cole’s in charge of the ranch and the oil riggin’. ‘Manda got this crazy idea to travel all over with Brody durin’ the summertimes so we got a townhouse by her sister’s place in the city and stayed there for a while. My blondie did plenty of photo takin’ and won a few more awards -- not that she’d tell you that since she doesn’t brag. Now the boy’s older and he needs to settle down more. So last I talked to Kyle I told him we were movin’ back to our island. Turn’s out he and the wife o’ his Aly are movin’ there too. Aw hell, two O’Ballivan men in one town may be too much -- but at least it’ll be fun. Should be interesting owning the bar now and since Brody’s been fightin’ with ‘Manda now more and more he’s got a job to tire himself out. Now that the construction’s done on the new house (since we ended up sellin’ the old one) we can head back to home, now we’re off on a new chapter~
