Chapter 40 A Story, a Wedding and a Double Abduction

 

Just look at me being a good parent and reading to my children. I am really enjoying this part of my life and my little family. There is one thing missing though. Yeah, a dad and husband. Oh, I don't need someone else. I can do it all on my own which I think I have already proven. But I want someone special in my life. I want a father figure for my children. 

All three of my kids get along very well with one another. Of this I am very proud. We are a happy family.

Myra visited the other day. If you recall she is my friend and agreed to offer her DNA so I could have a science baby. We ended up having twins! She has been great. She keeps up without trying to interfere. She is always welcome but never takes advantage of that. 

I just had to share. THIS is what the game did to my little brother Ronnie when he aged up to a teen. Really? Really? WHY???

Anyway, we got rid of all the ridiculous makeup and hair and found a handsome little brother beneath it all. He looks like his dad Leo, but I do see a smidgen of Amber in there.

While you look at this picture of my genius daughter, I will tell you what happened. So... here's the story. While I was at work Violet received a text from Charles. It was something like. "Hey. I found this engagement ring in my belongings and am wondering. Should I say yes or what should I say to your mom?" She replies, "Say yes!" And just like that Charles and I were engaged. I guess that was his way of asking me to marry him? At any rate. We are engaged!

By the way, Violet has maxed her logic skill and has completed the whiz kid aspiration. She has also maxed her social and mental skills. I'm so proud of her. 

Charles and I are getting married.

Exchanging the rings.

It's official! Charles is now a huge part of this family.

I had to get at least one picture with both Baborka and Tyrian in it. It was hard to get them together.

Mr. and Mrs. Ashley and Charles Berri. Happy day.

Are you as surprised as I am? Mom is expecting another baby! Dad has been an elder for some time now, and she is very close to aging up. I guess not before having another child!

I'm adding this one because it's funny. "No thanks Mom. I already ate!"

I'm adding this one because it's so sweet.

Sharing the wedding cake.

There were so many family members at our wedding. Our home was full, and they all seem very happy for Charles and I. (the guy with the beard was the caterer who didn't cater a thing.)

Just one more of the happy event. I want to remember it all.

Violet, Charles and I counting in a new year while the younger ones slept. We are excited to face this new year together.

So... something weird happened. First Charles went out to investigate the strange lights.

He got abducted by his fellow aliens.

Then I went out to investigate some strange lights, and I also got abducted!

While one spaceship was returning Charles, the other was taking me! It was a very active night for aliens. Did the marriage between Charles and I upset them? Anyway, the good news is we both survived our abductions just fine and were returned safely. Charles is not pregnant with an alien baby. I did, however, develop a fear of the dark. No kidding!

Moving on...

We updated the home a little bit. It's still not ideal and room is tight. It works for now, but if Charles and I decide to have a child I'm not sure there will be enough space. We are certainly not there yet.

Violet has a BFF and school friend Breanne Duff. (No relation to Myra Duff, science babies DNA mom.)

Birthday time for Baborka and Tyrian. (Baborka aged up first and is already doing homework!)

Baborka and Tyrian Berri. School aged children. They definitely inherited Myra's eye color, and they inherited Ashley's hair color. Their features seem a good mixture of the two.

Charles doing what he does best! Just kidding but he is always on top of keeping things clean around here.  It certainly balances out my tendency of being a slob.
