Since getting married, Jonas and Fawn have spent the majority of their time skilling. For Jonas that means creating a bunch of useless wood sculptures, but at least becoming handier :smirk:

He prefers woodworking to using the fabricator. Someday's fabricating is more of a hassle then others :lol:

Fawn was a great student as a child, so it's no surprise she's doing really well in University. Here she is practicing for her first presentation. (Thank you @OJenn for telling me she could take notes while away at class, that's made the biggest impact on her grades!)

Jonas' gets up bright and early to rummage through the dumpster for recyclables. On this morning he noticed a new Marketplace had popped up downtown :wink:

I'm burnt out on building, and though I should build my own community lot, I'm super happy I didn't have too :lol: @JordanNicoleJJ 's Marketplace community fits in perfectly! :heart: :smiley:

Jonas has a huge collection of c*ap he's made :lol: Fawn encouraged him to see if he could make a living selling his crafts. She was really hoping someone would take that sad clown statue off his hands :grimace:

Gloomy Jonas doesn't have the best salesmanship lol He sold a few thing, but unfortunately for Fawn, the clown remains. (The two brunette sims are Uncle Knox's kids! They have very um... distinct...? features :lol: and the other sim is @Kiwicantdie 's Lilah :heart: but we're mad at her cause she didn't buy anything :joy: )

Fawn met Jonas halfway between their house and the marketplace after her class finished. They just couldn't make it home and decided this dumpster would do lol :lol: I can't get over dumpster woohoo being a thing. Who comes up with this stuff?

The next day they took a little day trip to Sulani. Jonas is a child of the ocean and was even sadder then usual from missing the water.
https://i.imgur.com/P2aRZXK.png
He and Fawn deserved a break and took full advantage of being in paradise.
https://i.imgur.com/pr6mUCj.png
I don't think I've ever seen Jonas so happy. I could easily believe he and his family relocated from Sulani. He was completely in his element. :blush:

They arrived at the beach around 2pm, before they knew it the sun had set and it was almost time to go home. But not before enjoying some romantic moments at the bonfire :heart:
https://i.imgur.com/Da4wRED.png
and Jonas couldn't resist riding on the jetski :love: brb adding a jetski ride under the stars to my bucket list!

When Fawn went to use the bathroom and came out and autonomously started doing her homework I knew it was time to go home. She's so responsible she could probably get through college without much help from me lol
https://i.imgur.com/C1umPQd.png
That next morning she finished up the last of her homework and left to take her final exams!
https://i.imgur.com/tmaIZ4J.png
While she was taking the exam her Mother left work unexpectedly and showed up in front of a random lot and died! :worried: :dizzy: :bawling:
https://i.imgur.com/fdMlQjW.png
Noticing this, Jonas left the house and rushed to his mother in-law's side. He caught Grim just in the knick of time and begged for Iris' life. I didn't expect Grim to give him a second thought, but he did!
https://i.imgur.com/DqnNgWF.png
Immediately following Iris' resurrection, Fawn returned home from class with her grades. :lol: She aced everything.
https://i.imgur.com/pmenwva.png
BUT Grim wasn't done with Iris. No sooner then she had hugged and thanked Jonas for saving her, she was once again dying!?!!? By this point Fawn was making her way over to rejoice that her Mom was saved, and Silas had just randomly and miraculously shown up. Fawn pleaded with Grim, but he was merciless.

All 3 were devastated, especially Jonas who had thought for a brief moment he'd be able to give his wife good news.
https://i.imgur.com/ltIgukJ.png
What was supposed to be a happy and relaxing break from classes turned into a cry fest. :disappointed:
https://i.imgur.com/YSFdTiB.png
She finally had a free moment to try out fizzing, but was too sad to enjoy her first batch of inexplicably blue colored lemon fizz. The lemons were grown by her Mom. Perhaps that just made her sadder...
https://i.imgur.com/HXgJMY9.png
Jonas' Dad came to visit and was really upset to learn Iris had passed. Then shortly after he passed away himself. :disappointed:
https://i.imgur.com/Abr0pdP.png
Jonas tried to keep himself busy after the double loss, but everything he did was tinged with sadness.
https://i.imgur.com/Ns2zyu5.png
I was just grateful his crying onto the electrical upgrades didn't lead to his electrocution and accidental death :lol:
https://i.imgur.com/JVbC69z.png
His sorrow filled upgrade spree did lead to the house finally being in compliance with the eco appliance NAP though.
https://i.imgur.com/pMXjFna.png
And eventually both he and Fawn overcame their grief. :smile: They're a very hardworking couple, and work really well together. I love seeing them "adulting" together.
https://i.imgur.com/HHwidjk.png
Fawn's still working on her cooking skill though :wink:
https://i.imgur.com/Qr2U5Dv.png
Jonas got a bit bored of fixing things up around the house and decided to enroll in the military. (With his wealth aspiration he kept dreaming of promotions that just weren't coming as a manual laborer. RIP cute work outfit.)
https://i.imgur.com/YiXfMsO.png
His Dad may be gone, but his Mom is still alive and looking as youthful as ever. She seemed proud of her son. :smile: I just wonder when she's gonna age. She could pass as his sister :lol:
https://i.imgur.com/FdhLGq5.png
While doing the pee waddle home after practicing his army march, Jonas was flanked by the ghost of his mother in-law. I think she's still angry his attempt to save her resulted in her living exactly 10 more measly seconds :lol:
https://i.imgur.com/exTxv9V.png
He passed out before making it to the shower. :grimace: He's still adjusting to waking up at the crack of dawn to work.
https://i.imgur.com/GZEbQoU.png
Fawn decided she could relax a bit this semester after getting such good grades the first time around.
https://i.imgur.com/McwsKHf.png
She even made time to see her good friend Selene :smile: Fawn's always telling some dramatic story.
https://i.imgur.com/J6hd2Gg.png
Before I knew it fall had arrived in Evergreen Harbor. And Jonas being the handyman of the house made sure not a single leaf went un-raked. He's such a great house husband, they don't even need a maid.
https://i.imgur.com/8rb4eUV.png
Fall's arrival also brought the conclusion of Fawn's 2nd semester of classes.
https://i.imgur.com/ImFcS02.png
She got all A's yet again. :mrgreen: but I'm pretty over this whole college thing. It takes WAY too long to get a degree, and homework and other task take up too much of your sims time. Not a fan :smirk:
https://i.imgur.com/w1sfaBd.png
To celebrate his wife's hard work he took her out for dinner. Since the weather was still warm they enjoyed their meal on the patio.
https://i.imgur.com/uDdCVmE.png
Anavrin must remind them of when they got engaged because they're always super flirty when they're there. (Risky woohoo at 3% is safe btw, they woohoo everyday and no baby. It's not quite risky enough for me. I'll up it to 4% lol)
https://i.imgur.com/gd49nuq.png
Woohoo didn't happen that night... because Jonas got food poisoning! He called and let the restaurant have a piece of his mind. This was the first time I'd ever seen him angry. I kinda liked it :joy:
https://i.imgur.com/HXsrxuM.png
Fawn was on the phone that night too, but with a very different kind of call. Silas was looking for some sisterly advice. I absolutely love this! :heart:
https://i.imgur.com/F0WShLW.png
She told him she thought he and Ashlynn were ready! And apparently they're gonna start trying for a baby :smiley: (Silas and his wife just became adults and I was wondering why he and Ashlynn hadn't had a baby despite my MCC settings being set to allow it. The timing of this call was perfect.)
https://i.imgur.com/B5q4zrD.png
After talking about babies with her brother, Fawn decided to bring the idea up to her husband over a fancy dinner. She argued that she was now managing her 4 classes with ease and with his work schedule they'd be able to care for a little one. (That's Jonas' Mom in the background. I think she must've overheard she's likely gonna be a Grandma lol)
https://i.imgur.com/33dgQLH.png
I think Jonas is on board with this plan. :wink:
https://i.imgur.com/tELdkQM.png
I hope I can manage 2 more semesters of college and a baby :grimace: I'm just so over the whole college thing and ready for babies lol so I'll make it work. Happy Simming! I'll try to have a smaller update next time.
