Just Wishing Along - Joanna 1.1

I'm starting again since I can

--

Joanna Powers just moved to Hidden Springs

As her first action, she joined the science career

She wanted to learn the logic skill so a trip to the bookstore was needed

While there, Joanna talked to her boss, Liam O'Dourke

Her first meal was mac and cheese

It didn't go so well

"Ugh. I need to get better at this..."

Since she has the rebellious skill, Joanna wanted to beautify her lot

"My room definitely needs a pick me up"

Joanna headed to the library to sign up for online dating. She wanted to get married and have lots of children

After work, she checked her messages and was happy to see there were a few

Joanna really wanted a motorcycle and decided to do curbside murals for extra cash

It was, however, tiring work

It was leisure day and Joanna got her face painted

Perfect

She also made a friend

The festival wasn't the greatest hit as it was raining. Joanna had fun regardless

She made a puppy friend as well

Joanna, still on a quest for that motorcycle, started collecting flowers and critters. Sometimes she got bit

She was wanting that upcoming promotion and started a small garden

Joanna decided to spend her weekend talking to the men who messaged her

She met up with Andrew Song at the festival

It was an interesting time out

The motorcycle dream was still not quite in her grasp

She met up with her boss at the local tavern, as well as met Carl Abbot (who is attracted to her but I feel is too old). Joanna felt she had a bit of a choice to make on who would be a good husband.

ISBI - Van 1.1

Rules I'm Using: Here
Scoring System: Here
--

Van moved to Windenberg for his music career.

He preferred to stay inside, especially when it was the dead of winter

Van also enjoyed gardening but couldn't afford a greenhouse at the moment

Since he had no friends, a snow pal would do

Menacing

Van's neighbours visited and brought fruit cake. He actually liked it.

Since he didn't have a computer, Van took a trip to the library to write some jokes

Bella came by to say hello. She is a fan of his

Van decided to get some coffee from a near by booth

"Hey fountain, I'd like a girlfriend if that's cool"

It was than that Julia Wright appeared, as if fate itself threw Van a bone

They seemed to hit it off

They went on a date later that day

The nightclub was packed but lovers stayed near the bar to talk

The couple, who weren't actually a couple yet but details, went on a lot of dates

This time, they went to a cafe

Van really needed to work on that painting skill

His cooking skill was to be desired but he was a quick learner

It was Winterfest and Julia came to visit, which was convenient since Van was going to invite her over anyway

Van brought out his book of tricks to finally reel Julia in

It seemed to be working

It was now or never
"Julia, would you be my girlfriend?"
"Wasn't I already?"
Awkward

Van sealed the deal anyway

And gave her a key to his place

Tis the season!

Why Julia seemed so shocked I will never know...

Julia came by pretty regularly and Van was used to seeing her for breakfast dates

She invited him out to a cookout in Brindleton Bay

There was a lot of making out

When the event was over, Van asked a very important question
"Julia, will you marry me?

"Yes, of course!"

Van couldn't help but have a 'big yes' moment

-throws hearts-

Julia was so happy she jumped into his arms!

"Since we're engaged, did you want to move in with me?"
"Sounds good!"

With the money Julia brought in, we could finally afford a greenhouse!

While Van was outside, Julia danced

She at least learned where she should sleep

Well...I guess not

Julia got with it eventually

Van had to admit...Julia was something

We interrupt this love story to present you with THIS!

This ISBI might go well after all

The dance party suddenly became a date

 They eloped because we're poor

The love is real folks

And thus...the woohooing began

Bonus Shots:
Van made him while I was waiting for an age appropriate lady sim to show up.

Van also made this snow pal to protect us from the stalking Vlad

This pic is literally the epitome of sim events
