Greetings and welcome back! This chapter will be detailing mine and Sean’s trips to Granite Falls! Let’s get to it!
First thing’s first: Bug catching! I caught the most rotund lady bugs I’d ever seen!
I’ve met Gary Rucker. Apparently there’s a group that likes to dress up as bear at Granite Falls now. Right on!
Ahhh! Now this is what I’ve been waiting for: Roasting Beetles! Naturally Sean wanted no part of this, but I’m starting to miss him already. He’s back at the cabin, but I assumed he’d put aside his fears for me now and then…
Oooo! The Legendary Dragon-Dragonfly! Such a bizarre yet enchanting creature!
After our first fight, I asked Sean to be my boyfriend. We’d kind of been skirting around that question for some time now. I didn’t give him an ultimatum, but it needed to be addressed. Turns out we were both too cautious. Well, damn! Hopefully, I won’t make that mistake again… Oh well! Onward!
“Angee!” (Simlish for “cheese!”) It’s official now. We are romantic partners! I love Sean’s leg lift there hehe. Here’s too a loving and supportive relationship for hopefully many years to come!
I’m making up for lost time by reading love poetry to Sean… In retrospect, maybe I was being a little selfish for expecting him to eat beetles with me. However, I do hope we achieve more balance overall in participating in each other’s hobbies. After all, we’ve a long time to explore each other’s worlds.
To be honest, I’ve lost track of the days but this pic was taken sometime around the last day of our trip… He enjoys roasting marshmallows-who doesn’t? We had many deep conversations about where we stand on a variety of issues and our individual and collective goals for the future. This concludes our first trip together! <3
Chompy became an adult while we were away! Sean screamed and ran down the street when he first saw them. While I was frozen in fear initially, I had the instinct to play with Chompy. After all, they’ll always be my baby! <3 I hope becoming a mother feels at least this satisfying…
Chompy’s got quite the appetite! I’ll have to work on training them, however. I almost met the business end of those teeth upon their first meat-feeding! For a short time, I considered obtaining another cow plant berry. That’d be too risky though. I don’t even know much about the one I have. I really should go find Sean… Poor man. Keeping Chompy might be an astronomically big ask to expect of him… ::sigh::
After days of bargaining with Sean, he agreed to keep Chompy-on the condition that he’ll never become cowplant food… I’ll take it!
While on our trip, my good friend Tanvi passed away. I also maxed my herbalism skill-thanks to her vast knowledge. I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from her loss, but might as well water the plants with my tears I suppose…
Sean had already agreed to move in before, but I wanted to make sure he still wanted to, so I asked him again and he re-accepted! So relieved! We agreed that I’d cut down my bug collection and he can’t overrun our home with his collectibles either.
Oh! I went on a one day trip on my own and met Leanne Zavala-Tanvi’s mentee-in the Deep Woods. She has taken permanent residence in Tanvi’s home as well. Normally I’d probably wax poetic about Leanna, but I’m still feeling raw and devastated from Tanvi’s passing, so I’ll go over her traits: She’s a loner, erratic, and loves the outdoors. I believe Tanvi had a similar personality maybe sans a trait…
Sean agreed to try gardening but he absolutely loathes it! (Nooo!) Once again, we’re having a bit of an issue finding common ground in our hobbies. Oh well, more gardening for me! He’s now a “Writer’s Assistant” (lv.1) Quickly after, he was promoted to Blogger! (lv. 2)
Sean’s been hard at work mining things from rocks. His current aspiration is to be a Collector. Even I partake in mining a bit here and there. :D
The Parikh’s and Goth’s had a baby… (I’m trying not to be jealous but it’s hard!)
Sean and me went back to Granite Falls. I caught Locusts here. I love bugs, but these make my skin crawl!
I also caught Katydids and Monarch Butterflies! So lovely! <3 It’s going to be tough to determine which insects I keep…
Ohhhh noooo! I completely forgot Sean’s birthday! I feel so selfish! He didn’t say anything but he metamorphosed in the woods by himself! We’d planned to do something, but I was so laser-focused on bug catching… Well, he might have also forgotten? Ugh… I definitely need to make this right!
That concludes this chapter. As always, thanks for tuning in and Happy Simming!
