Guess what???

I am moving in with my boyfriend this summer! Both of our leases on our separate apartments are up at the end of June. He has been talking about buying a house all year and recently met with a realtor and started looking at homes. Though I'd definitely thought about it, and we'd hinted, we had not discussed living together. When I told him about my hesitancy to resign my lease, he said he understood. And I said I had been thinking about where I wanted to be in a year, and he said he understood. THen he said "Why do you think I asked you to look at houses with me- I don't want to live in a big house by myself!" We are going house hunting again this weekend.

For the record, we intend to get married, though there's been no official proposal yet. Neither of us are morally conflicted about the situation. Please don't offer words of scorn... but if you have any encouragement or practical advice, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

I am a teensy bit scared... I've never made a move this big before... But I am very excited. :) Ya'll know before all of my family! hehe


THANKS for being so supportive!!

THANKS EVERYBODY!!

Everyone has been so encouraging!

Rely- thanks for your anecdotes and advice. I know- I will be very excited about decorating, and everything. As a teacher I have the summer off, and I've been trying to get a part time job. Now I am thinking that it'd be nice to be home and fixing up things... but without some extra moolah, I might not be able to anyways! lol

And Shawna, Shawna, Shawna... Maybe you can motivate me into being a cleaning nut. :)

Luckily my huy is 31 and has been on his own, cooking, cleaning, doing his own laundry, for years, so I feel pretty confident in that I won't have to do it all. :)

Thanks again!!

I thought I had posted here to you already, but I guess I lost it somewhere....

Anyway, I am so excited for you! Rob and I lived together a full year before we got married, and it really gave us a chance to understand each other better before we did marry. Looking back, if I'd lived with my exhusband before I married him I could have saved myself an expensive wedding, sad marriage, and painful divorce.

Good luck and I hope you find the perfect house for you!
