Also, after a lot of hard work, I'm proud to say that Diana earned a service award!:

She spent a few hours at City Hall, getting the award and probably listening to a boring speech made by Selkirk County's non-existent mayor.

Not long after Diana got her award, I developed a plan as to where I wanted to go next with the Hutterite sims...besides getting their colony, of course. The plan may or may not involve a genie lamp, which is why I had Jakob go to the mausoleum one day...

...Unfortunately, he was not successful in his endeavors, and his clothes wound up paying the price! But it was nothing that a good shower couldn't fix, fortunately.

I also had Rachel go to the mausoleum as well, but she wasn't successful in her attempts either.
With spring, though, came a glorious day as my sims eventually got enough money to buy one of the colony houses! They had already bought the Hutterite cemetery and all of the other non-house Hutterite lots (and were going to run out of room on the starter lots as soon as the next baby wave came around), so I decided it was now time for them to move onto the colony!

Of course, in order to move they first had to get the farm set up, which took an entire sim day for Jakob, Isaac, Paul, and John to do!

This was the end result of their hard efforts. The amount of plants planted are by no means the final tally, though - just the result of not getting all of the plants at one time (mainly the SP ones, but most of the flame fruits and other special plants also were planted at a later time).

The next sim day, I had them move onto the colony. It was kind of bittersweet, because all of the babies had been born on either the starter lots or at the hospital up until now, but it was necessary both for the challenge and because of how tight the quarters were!

All of them gathered up into a taxi for the move - why they couldn't have just used one of their trucks, I'll never know!

Then they arrived at Oak Lake Colony, with Jakob for some reason appearing near the office lot (which will be the main lot from now on), while everyone else appeared much farther away once they exited the taxi.
And I think I'll stop it there for now, as it's getting late where I live.
Until next weekend (hopefully)!
