There was definitely some upheaval in the McCarthy family this spring. They moved into their new home with very meager furnishings, but Angela was making pretty good money, in addition to Jennifer's income, so they were able to purchase some much-needed items. Mid-week, Jennifer's niece Robin joined the household, after the untimely death of her mother Wendy. Robin had barely settled in when Angela passed away at the age of 77, leaving the family a tidy sum in life insurance money, which they used to buy a car and a business lot for George. Shortly after her mother's death, Jennifer became fixated on having an affair (don't know if this was her grief or if she knows about George's dalliance with Danielle Duncan) and began romancing townie Zeeshan Mamuyac. Despite trying for baby several times with her husband, it's now Zeeshan's baby she's carrying, or babies I should say, as she helped herself to some cheesecake after the fact. And this was the branch of the family I thought would be drama-free! No such luck lol. At the end of the round, the McCarthys have $3620 and will remain Lower Middle Class.
Amanda Owens moved into her apartment with very little, so she got straight to work trying to get promoted in Law Enforcement and trying to woo her boyfriend Charles Bendett into moving in with her. She was more successful with the latter, though just barely. I decided to have her go for a community college degree, since she had earned a $1000 scholarship, and it would make getting promoted easier. She finally moved Charles in mid-week (he brought $7000, but no job), and I thought they'd immediately want to get married (she's primary Family and he's secondary Family), but they were not on board. Instead, they adopted a couple of puppies, Charles started working on a Uni degree for his LTW of Science and took a job in Entertainment, and they basically ignored each other until the very end of the week, when Amanda finally rolled the want for a date, which led to the want to get married. So, they are now Mr. and Mrs. Bendett, Amanda is about halfway through her degree, Charles is nearly finished with his, and they have $1355 remaining after rent/crime syndicate payment. They will remain Working Class and, hopefully, be starting a family next round.
Happy Simming!
