Meet Sophie and Ulrike Ballard-Faust, my sweet little cherub potatoes whom I will absolutely never get over.
After a bit of a whirlwind romance, they had a small but beautiful wedding on the beach in Tartosa with their closest friends. (Neither of them has any (human) family beyond each other... for now.)
Ulrike has made great strides in her art career, turning out masterpiece after masterpiece, and Sophie is well on her way to becoming a master nectar-maker out of their ever-expanding home and garden in Chestnut Ridge.
They also have a mare named Willow, who was Sophie's horse before they got together and who now loves both of them dearly. Ulrike, wary for the longest time of actually riding a horse, finally went for a relaxed ride with Willow yesterday! (Sorry I didn't get pics of that!) It was good for both of them, and she's got a mind to do that more often.
And most excitingly, Sophie is expecting! They wanted to wait until they had their shit at least relatively together before bringing kids into the mix, and they're finally feeling like they've got the basics down. They found a donor and are expecting a healthy baby girl!
More on this little growing family to come--I love them so much it's obscene, and honestly find someone who looks at you the way Ulrike looks at Sophie!!--but I just wanted to briefly introduce them and dip my toe into posting my own Sims before I lost my nerve :)
