https://i.postimg.cc/zXnnDCZd/yogi-learned.pngClarence is working harder than he wants to right now. Just until he gets a roof over the head of his bride. He doesn't want her to regret joining the family. In addition to the Shrieking Llama in his own neighborhood and the Gnome's Arms next to where he sells his vegetables, he is playing regularly in the Evergreen Harbor bar now. That has the advantage of allowing him to dumpster dive after he finishes his set. He's found all kinds of interesting things in there-- some he keeps and some he recycles. Clarence's friend Maaike Haas came to support him, but she spent all night making eyes at Dominic Fyres. Hmm.
https://i.postimg.cc/pT2f3y10/0-maaike-and-dominic.pngClarence held a casual fruit salad get-together to introduce Becca to his friends.
https://i.postimg.cc/YqJ1MdsL/1-party.pngBut he was so exhausted that he fell asleep still holding his bowl.
https://i.postimg.cc/jdWzppZr/2-exhausted.pngHard at work together. Clarence is fixing up a stove he found in the dumpster. It needed a repair and a good cleaning, but it works! Or, it will work, once they have enough power to power it.
https://i.postimg.cc/y6pmr1hP/3-work.pngClarence does not find this fun but he is doing it anyway.
https://i.postimg.cc/tT23byK9/4-handy.pngOkay, so if you don't pay your bills on an off-the-grid lot, you don't have to worry about the utilities at all... but then this happens.
https://i.postimg.cc/bwk1J17C/4-repo1.pngBecca argued with the repo man but he wouldn't be deterred. She kept him from taking a couple of particularly useful objects, but he did take the candles Clarence had bought for the proposal dinner.
https://i.postimg.cc/LX6PNwnw/5-repo2.pngAnd... a tree, for some reason.
https://i.postimg.cc/GpjYPdhv/6-repo3.pngI guess we'll pay the bills in the future.
Poor Yogi got sick and it took Clarence and Becca a couple of days to save up enough to take her to the vet. Here she is looking pathetic afterward.
https://i.postimg.cc/gJnVG1mR/back-from-vet.pngHarvestfest came! And Clarence and Becca have been trying for a baby. Clarence has a lot of stuff stored out back for the baby already.
https://i.postimg.cc/mr4CFtRb/8-harvestfest-and-baby-stuff.pngI was very pleased to find out that the garden shop will purchase gnomes. The income from selling the gnomes and the contents of the seed packets was very helpful. Although, without much in the way of interior floor tiles, the gnomes didn't really leave many seed packets.
A quiet night studying while life is under construction all around
https://i.postimg.cc/qqWCB7jH/9-quiet-night-studying.pngBecca got a job. She rolled Babysitter from the part-time jobs. She got promoted to Nanny after a couple of days. She only works Saturdays and Sundays so it coordinates well with the university schedule.
Clarence and Becca went out to a restaurant for the first time ever to celebrate his birthday! Wow, short lifespan is short.
https://i.postimg.cc/JhKDDxPq/11-bday.pngIt happened to be Night on the Town but they still had to pay for the cake.
And then there was some big news... Clarence and Becca are going to be parents!
https://i.postimg.cc/KzzKnTWy/12-big-news.pngThe kitchen is coming together. (Some of the stink is coming from the plate in this picture, and some of the stink is coming from the cook...) That is a vintage icebox that Clarence saved up for and acquired. I was delighted to discover that if you "Add Ice," the icebox will work for a day or two even if you have no power.
https://i.postimg.cc/1R8BSV3T/15-kitchen-and-stink.pngLots of hardship here but lots of love too
https://i.postimg.cc/s1FvdNgV/16-love.pngFinally, a roof! It has solar shingles. Clarence now is very motivated to put a roof over not only his bride's head, but the baby's too. Somewhere to bathe a toddler that isn't outside in the snow might be a good idea too. Once that happens he can get back to slacking :)
https://i.postimg.cc/sg49mpTB/17-house-with-roof.pngSome interesting plants grew out of some trash piles next to the trash can. They bear funny little fruits that smell bad and look like trash bags. The fruits sell for only 1 simoleon each-- Clarence is testing them out as fertilizer, since lots of smelly stuff makes good fertilizer.
https://i.postimg.cc/nLVKPCW3/18-plants.pngClarence got annoyed at this flirty fellow who plopped down next to Becca at the bar. Clarence got him to leave after a few insults were exchanged. Meanwhile, Sara Scott's face says "Men are such idiots."
https://i.postimg.cc/pV3ZLV9d/13-pub-argument-1.png"Was that really necessary?" asks Becca. Let's hope Mr. Shirt back there doesn't try the same thing.
https://i.postimg.cc/GhYj80Yx/14-pub-argument-2.pngBecca went over to talk to Rahmi Watson who has a particularly incredible cold weather outfit.
https://i.postimg.cc/LXC17DPX/7-rahmi-outfit.pngBecca joined the Avant Gardes. They love reading and homework, so it's perfect for her. Maaike and Clarence are now officially best friends.

https://i.postimg.cc/XYbk92kS/20-hugo.pngClarence and Becca eloped in the Bramblewood. Weddings are expensive and all the hubbub can make you lose sight of the important stuff. A slacker's dream wedding: the sky for a church, the trees for a wedding arch, the ducks for guests. Wish them well. All three of them as you can see ;)
