I've taken a lot of pictures of my Maroulis family just so I have them, but I am really looking foward to getting a new graphics card. Then I'll have a lot of fun with stories and whatnot.
But until I do get one (so my clothes wont be so damn blurry), I didn't want to *not* take any pics of my Maroulis family. It's going from one generation to the next :) :)
I love them.
I still need to upload a lot of them onto photobucket. ugh.
**EDIT** I just uploaded a shitload of em. Yayness. I still need pics of Bobbi and Haley though. In time, baby, in time.
Ok, so it all started with Honey and Bobbi Maroulis. (Yes, their daddy is Constantine from American Idol..hehe) Unfortunately, I didn't take pics when I first started playing with them, so I missed basically all of Honey's life. :( :( *tear* That depresses me.
Honey and Bobbi
Honey went on a few dates before finding the love of her life after Constantine left her and her daughter. His name was Stephan. They evenutally ended up having 4 daughters. The last one, Gretchen, was adopted. Honey and Stephan were elders, but weren't ready to give up parenthood just yet, so they adopted. :) So that was 5 kids for Honey, including Bobbi.
Honey and Stephan
From oldest to youngest, (I will post pics of everyone in time)....Bobbi, Haley, Helayna, Rayanne, and Gretchen.
Only one pic of one of the daughters as a child. This is Rayanne. I thought this pic was cute
So Honey and Stephan grew old of course. Didn't get any pics of Stephan as an elder, and only a couple of Honey. She was doing her famous yoga. They passed away a little while ago :( It was rough on the girls, but each day is a new day right?
The children grew up and went to college. Gretchen being the last one to graduate, but they all did with high honors.
Aspirations....
Bobbi- Did have the Pleasure Aspiration, but was changed to Popularity. She loves knowing everyone, but most of all, she loves everyone knowing HER.
Haley- Knowledge
Helayna- Popularity
Rayanne - Family
Gretchen - Romance (not exactly the nicest Sim, but she does love her sisters....
Their loves....
Bobbi is engaged to Romeo. She was in a relationship with him as a teen, but their love grew apart when she went to college. Bobbi dated a few other men, and even WooHoo'd with quite a few, but she never forgot Romeo. That's why she was thrilled when she found out he was attending her college at Academe Le Tour. Of course, she was a senior when he was a freshman, and because they fell so deeply in love, he ended up dropping out due to the fact he couldn't bear to be without her again. Bobbi and Haley graduated together and got a place of their own when they moved off of campus. Romeo is now back with his family until Bobbi is ready to settle down and have a family. But she's just having too much fun right now to do that.
Helayna and Rayanne went to college together and became part of the most popular serority at Acadame Le Tour. They had friends galore, and of course fell in love with their soul mates. (No pics of Helayna and Rayanne in college. :( ) But I do have pics OF their swimming pool. hehe
Haleyna fell for Puck. They were together as teenagers, and like Bobbi and Romeo, also ended up going to the same college. Helayna graduated before him. Puck was about to drop out of college because he wanted to be with her so badly, but one night, after Helayna and Rayanne got their own place together, Puck had come over, and well, little Connor Maroulis was brought into their world.
The very night Helayna gave birth to Connor, there was a fire in their home. This is when just the two girls, Rayanne and Helayna, were living there. Not a good time for her to go into labor. But...nothing she could do about that, right? Well, luckily, the local fireman hero, Connor Stedman was there to save the day. He saved their lives and made it possible for little Connor to enter this world. That's where he got his name. :) (*No pics of fireman* Grrr)
Puck knew he had to support his family, so he stuck it out in college and missed the first years (days) of his son's life. But, dont worry, it all worked out for them :) Helayna, just recently, gave birth to another baby boy, Marley. Awwww :)
Rayanne also fell in love with her highschool sweetheart, Amar Larrea. Amar, just like the rest of the boys, attended college later on, leaving Rayanne lonely until he did get out of there. Amar has the family aspiration so he couldn't wait until he could spend the rest of his life with her. Ok, now for some pics.......
We'll start off with Helyana and Puck. Awwww. So in love. (These pics were taken after Helayana and Rayanne graduated, but when Puck, Amar, and Gretchen were still attending.
Then we have Rayanne...She is Leading Lady of SimCity right now, and is really looking foward to being in the top position of the Show Business career. I'm thinking she's going to do it :)
This Amar. The love of Rayanne's life. :)
Rayanne loves his muscular bod ;)
And of course their special moments together :) :)
Amar giving Rayanne a backrub from a million miles away. hehe Gotta love the glitches.
Last, but not least, we have the youngest sister, Gretchen...The adopted one...
I love her face. She was actually not that attractive as a baby, child or even a teen..but once she entered college, she was a beauty. And she knew it. She has the romance aspiration so she loves loves loves to Woohoo...
Did I mention she loves to Woohoo? She was always kissing, flirting with someone, or just using her irrisistable charm to make the young men of Acadme Le Tour fall in love with her....She was very good at it.
She even tried new things once in a while...
This one day, she met Count Sam. He was a local vampire. She fell for him. Badly.
But that caused a few problems...because well...you see....
He fell for her too, and wanted her to be just like him
And so, that's exactly what happened
It wasn't that bad at first. She actually kind of enjoyed having a vampiric life ;)
But considering her classes were during the day and all, it was very hard for her to not...oh how do I put this, feel like shit all the time? Even flying at 90 miles an hour to her classes everyday didn't help her feel any better
So she called the local Matchamaking service and ordered a dose of Vamprocillan (sp?) She was through with that kind of life. It hurt a bit....
But it was worth it in the end. She was back to normal.
All through college, Gretchen seemed happy all the time. She loved her sisters more than anything. They were all very close. Although they didn't agree with the lifestyle she was leading, they felt she was happy and that was what mattered to them. Especially Rayanne. The two were closer than any of the other sisters because they gew up together. By the time, Gretchen joined the family, Rayanne was the only one out of the Maroulis children who were still living at home.
Rayanne tried talking to her baby sister a few times about changing her lifestyile. But Gretchen would just brush it off, and would eventually get upset if Rayanne kept pushing it
Gretchen loved that her sisters were happy. She also loved that they *thought* she was happy as well....But she's not.
She may seem it, but deep inside, she's very lonely...
And when she graduated college, she knew it was just going to get worse
As she was being escorted back to Veronville, she was terrified inside. The only thing she could think of was whether or not she was going to be happy. Oh yeah, and that the driver of the taxi was really hot.
That's all the pics I'm posting for now. Next entry with be Helayna and Rayanne's life after college :)
