things have been going downhill quick with julia gone

with things being so rough between her and her bosses, she was really wanting to move on with her life in a new career. and luckily since things with kason were going so well they decided to get married. her final night working for the love family she decided to make them a nice lobster dinner and some baked alaska, which penny helped her with. first thing the next day she went off to start her own family with her wonderful husband <3 i tried getting pics at the wedding, where penny was a flowergirl for, but it was a bugfest so i didn't get anything good











immediately after she left dishwasher broke and alaina went off on percy about it. since he graduated early he has more time to fix it but he very quickly got tired of his moms digging in on him. lacy is lazy af and she leaves her clothes everywhere which he has to clean up. he and penny have such an age gap they hardly talk. he has bigger and better dreams than being some maid to his snooty moms. so the second he was old enough he packed up and moved in with his girlfriend poppy. so good for him. but without julia, penny is straight up all alone in this world. she's been distracting herself with knitting and coloring but the loneliness is pretty unbearble and she turns to the stuffed dog for companionship.

something good out of julia leaving though is lacy met a nice boy named kody at her wedding and they really hit it off. and with penny taking care of the cleaning now that percy is gone, heather and alaina have plenty of time to spend together and with their christmas kitten. and hot tub lol. cause alaina wanted a hot tub as she's going through a midlife crisis.

something cute about that knitting pic is that penny knit that pink bear beanie herself and she is sitting with the plant julia left behind











something else to deal with her midlife crisis besides that hot tub, alaina went to the cemetery and sat at her mothers grave for a while. she was young when she died. she knew she was.... unpopular... in this world. but she wishes she could have known her more. after all, she's basically identical to her
