3. Background And Info! Olivia was going through a harsh divorce, loosing everything she had from a lying, cheating, backstabbing, fat slob. Her friends from work begged her to go out and have a good time. In the meantime, she met Bridget who was also single and needing a roomate. Considering Olivia’s incoming salary was $45,000 a year with 1 child, 3 dogs, 5 cats, and a ferret; and Bridget’s yearly salary was $16,300 with 6 kids, 8 dogs, and 3 cats, they both were in need of some assistance. They bought a 5 bedroom house and Olivia downsized to a 1999 Ford Focus, because her best friend, Lynden, had one that she loved. Bridgette also bought a 1997 pontiac van to haul all of the kids; Olivia’s daughter, Ella Claire and Bridgette’s children, Chloe Ann, Cadence, Lexy, Brayden, Colten, and Dean.
