All I wanted was a simple kind of life

Lizbeth Rusewicz is living her dream life.

She is the eldest daughter of the Thatcher family and is known for her independent, straight forward demeanor. Lizbeth's healthy interest in yoga and environmental causes, which she developed as a teenager, have always helped define her as a role model for her 5 younger Thatcher siblings.

Lizbeth and her mother discuss sister Lauryn, who married into the Valdari family and now rarely comes around.

Lizbeth's father, Nico, loves cooking and sharing recipes with his family.

Lizbeth utilized a web dating service and met Jace Rusewicz. Jace was a very "hot" commodity at Sim Labs, a secret laboratory located in Sim City. Jace immediately connected with Lizbeth's passion for enviornmental causes and the two were married after only 6 weeks of dating.

Keeping it limber!

Little Zane was the first addition to the family. Darling daughter Zoey followed a few years later.

After Zoey reached kindergarten, Lizbeth went full steam ahead in terms of working for various causes. She is currently a well known whale protector and loves canvassing Colonial Village with "Save the whales!" literature. Inspired by his wife's ambition, Jace turned the heat up on his career and is now one of Sim Labs most elite Theorists. Both Lizbeth and Jace have a lot of fun at their jobs and they raise their children to figure out their own passions and apply themselves to those causes accordingly.

Lizbeth loves feeding her family fresh organic foods.

Life moves swiftly and sweetly for the Rusewiczes. Lizbeth and Jace look forward to retiring and spending 24 hours a day devoted to their "other" passion - their marriage. For the time being, the waters are calm and serene.

Lizbeth looks to the future.
