One Year Anniversary of Forest

It was one year ago today that I moved into Forest. And I know that in City Folk, Tortimer will send you a letter and a cake on your one-year anniversary. However, as I found out today, New Leaf does no such thing. The cake is a lie!

Naturally, I was a bit disappointed. But that didn’t stop me from celebrating. To mark the occasion, I held some giveaways on the friend code exchange page. Congrats to all the winners! Here’s a picture of me delivering a blue pinwheel to Lily from Utopia:

Visiting Sasha.And my final giveaway prize was strawberry ice cream. Maddie from Moon was the last winner of the day.

When I went up to the Dream Suite, Luna told me that my most recent dream visitor was Natalia from Valyria.

Later on, I took a picture of my town tree. But first, here’s a look back at how it started out one year ago today. I had just moved into Forest and planted the town tree, which was still a sapling. Aurora, Yuka, Harry, Gabi, and Rory applauded the new town tree.

A look back at Forest's first day.A year later, the tree has grown quite a bit. Four of the five villagers that applauded me a year ago have long since moved out of town (only Aurora remains).

The Forest town tree after one year.Forest has changed a lot in a year. What will it look like a year from now? Stick with me to find out; I’m not going anywhere.

Have a good weekend, everyone! 🙂
