This is Jan with a quite update on my love life and life in general. Christopher and I have become best friends and have been on four wonderful dates. On the last date, Christopher had had a bad day, but I managed to cheer him up which made me happy because I don't like to see any of my friends hurting. Am hoping that he is the one for me as I have fallen in love with him but haven't had the option to have our first kiss, yet nor to confess my love for him.
Silver says that generations seems to have made the dating scene a lot harder. You use to be able to do those things as soon as there was some kind of romantic activity. Right now we get to 'amorously hug', 'watch the stars', and hold hands. I get the 'invite to stay overnight option' but I don't believe in that until after marriage. I used to get 'confess attraction' in my other stories when I had hopeless romantic trait on other Sims but that option is not available right. It even takes awhile for the "Ask Sign" or "If single" option comes up. Those options can prevent embarrassment when interacting. Guess the game is taking a 'learn the hard way' approach to dating as Carol can attest to and she'll tell you about that later. While some glitches are funny like the switching voices one, if this is a glitch it is kind of annoying. So I guess I'll have to get creative as my relationship with Chris develops
Enough of Silver's blurb, back my story. I celebrated my midlife birthday with my friends and then entered a midlife crisis because I hadn't reached my lifetime time goal, yet. To help combat that, I've started learning a new recipe everyday as I wasn't able to change my lifetime wish to DNA analyst one in law enforcement but that is secretly my wish at this time as I'm over half way there. Life gets in the way of my other goal in life.
Life has sure had its ups and downs in the romance department which are not helped with the game glitches where none of the romantic options that lead to marriage have been working. This is where creativity comes in handy. Things are starting to turn around. I got Christopher to move in with me and decorated a room just for him upstairs as his favorite color is green. Since I have the downstairs in my colors, it seems appropriate to show my love in little ways by also putting a green/forest theme wallpaper. Christopher also likes fishing so I gave him my mounted fish that was sent to me for being a celebrity.
Good news, Chris and I shared our first kiss while cuddling on the couch watching TV, so we're official in the romantic interest stage of our relationship. Due to the romance glitches we won't be able have a public wedding as I have to go down to the municipal offices to legally change my last name to his and even if we probably won't have the wedding papers to show it, in our hearts we will be finally married and then we can have children. (Just a side note, real Jan's father wanted her to get married in front of judge but she did have a lovely wedding just the same and that one is more important than a real wedding here. If anyone wants to add her as friend on facebook, her wedding pictures are posted there.) In case anyone is wondering Chris and I are very much in love no matter how our wedding works out.
Before Chris moved in, I went on a trip to China to learn Martial Arts for my boss. Had purchased a training dummy and boards but they must of got lost on the plane somehow because they weren't in my inventory upon my return home. Oh well, my boss, Justine Keaton wants me to go back to China to meet four more locals and learn more about their culture, so I have to get new Martial Arts equipment then.
Chris has gotten a job at the local diner which is our favorite place to eat out at. He has already received his first promotion towards reaching his lifetime goal of reaching the top of the culinary career. It's sometimes hard as I work in the day and he works evenings so we haven't been able to go out on a date since he moved. Chris has the next two days off, so hopefully we can do something fun together then.
I've almost reached the top of the DNA specialist unit in my law enforcement career and am now '3D Crime Scene Modeler'. Hopefully all those CSI shows I watch will come in handy now. Am working on my logic and painting skills to improve my work performance. I also need to get out and interview some locals and write up some reports.
I would prefer to have a real wedding with Chris, but for now that seems impossible. Chris and I have decided not to wait for fixes to the marriage issue as we are very much in love with each other. So, with Chris's blessing I've had my last name change to his and we got our wedding rings by visiting the local jewelry store (aka: plan outfit). Maybe someday we can have wedding party for our friends but we consider ourselves to be happily married in around about way. Being married this has one advantage in that the paparazzi are always looking for ways to break up marriages, so if they don't know were married, they can't spread any cheating rumors. The other rumors that surface from time to time are bad enough.
So Sunset Valley might not know that Christopher and Jan are now married but we all know different and they are living as a married couple. Please join me in congratulating the happy couple.
Christopher and I are settling into our lives together and are still very much in love. We love playing with our water toys together when not at work and then we cuddle, kiss and do all that romantic stuff. Even though we're not in the most ideal situation by not being able to get married, we are making the best of it. Bye the way, I have reached the top of my career which makes me very happy.
The best news of all is that I just gave birth to two beautiful bouncing baby girls, Charity and Johanna, which are names that are the real Jan would have used had she had children. Chris is a proud father but of course the paparazzi had to stick their noses where they didn't belong and accuse him of fathering a child out of wedlock. It doesn't matter what they think though because in our hearts Chris and I are married and someday hope to show the world that. The twins have already been sent special dolls by a long lost aunt. I pretend that they're from real Jan's great aunt Peggy who was like a grandmother to her and just recently passed away. Since the real me would have been a stay-at-home mom if she had children of her own, I plan to quit my job and look after our children and focus on learning the recipes for my lifetime wish. Christopher and I also plan to adopt as we want to give other children who need loving homes a fighting chance in this world.
Before the birth of our daughters, we had my friend from Egypt, Samir Amin, visit us for three days. We had a good time becoming best friends with him and because I was an only child, I consider my closest friends as the brothers and sisters I never had, so Samir even though he doesn't know is an honorary uncle to our children. Samir got a chance to hold Johanna before he left which was special.
