move in together

My man will soon be moving out into his own place for 6 months or so which will give us the opportunity to spend a lot more ‘domestic time’ together. I am planning to semi move in – meaning not stay there all the time, but at least half the time. Its a step towards moving in together.. and im glad we’re taking it slowly but steadily.
I’ve begun buying little household items such as linen, containers, laundry things and kitchen utensils, which i will bundle into boxes and present to him as a housewarming gift when he goes to move in. Its a bit exciting for us both really!

Exciting!
It’s something we talk about more and more, and now we’ve planned to actually do this at the end of the year. But it depends on me, first I have to graduate and get a job!!
Hopefully I’ll be graduated this summer. Right now we’re thinking about me moving in with him or getting a new appartment. And were already discussing about the interior :)

Note to self:
- graduate
- save my money
- make a plan (How we should split the costs etc.)
- make moodboards
- keep an eye open for nice appartments. (But we live in Amsterdam so thats quite difficult!!)

We’ve been talking about this a lot lately. We’ve been together almost 5 years now and its the next step really. I know we could do it for sure. Its just all about timing. Im not about to force something like this.

Once i finish university and get a full time job we’ll have better finances to perhaps even buy a house together. For now i’ll put this on my list as a long-term ‘for the future’ goal.

We’ve been talking about this for a while and had decided to go ahead but I got cold feet… Still, I really want to do it, I think I just hadn’t thought it through enough. It’s a really big thing to do and I need to be OK with it in my mind (he would like to do it now but doesn’t want to rush it before I’m ready!)

So – my goal is to get to a point where I’m comfortable with the idea of moving in with him:) Hopefully this will happen some time in the next few months – by the start of next year we’ll have been together for a year, which I think would be a good time.

I moved in officially with my boyfriend February this year.
In June we’ve been together for 2 whole wonderful years. <3

We got the keys to our apartment on Friday and we’ve moved most of our stuff in. There are a few odds and ends I need to reclaim from my ex and my parent’s house and there is a list of things we need to buy for the apartment (microwave, dresser, vacuum). It’s been so great so far and we’ve already fallen into a good rhythm of helping each other with household chores. This is just the happy fresh start I’ve been wanting for a long time. :)

The apartment manager called me today and my bf and I have been approved for the apartment we wanted! Looks like we’ll be moving in on the 29th of this month.

Now I just need to figure out what furniture I can swipe from my ex-husband from our old house and what sort of things I need to buy. Mostly I just need a bed and a sofa…of course the two most expensive things…

Off to craiglist and ikea.com!!!!!!!!

:D

So my boyfriend James and I have decided that we want to move in together! We went apartment hunting over the weekend and found a really HUGE 1 bedroom apartment right in the neighborhood we were looking for and at a really low price. I have all the completed paperwork for the place in hand and I’m going to drop it off with the manager this afternoon. I don’t think I’ve been this excited to live with someone ever!

Oh and before anyone tries to start dishing out advice, both of us have each lived with two other significant others before and so we know all about what to expect when living with a romantic-roommate. We’re both kind of starting over with our lives though, so we have hardly any furniture and will basically be starting from scratch! Good thing my half of the rent will be less than what I pay for my car payment. ;)

We’re still talking about getting rid of his desk to make room for a dining table. It’s not the same whirlwind feeling I’d get from visiting, but it’s so great in so many ways. I’m happy that I can still say that, 10 months later.

A while back, we spoke about what our feelings on moving in together, since it already were in “the hanging” (a friend-couple of ours are FINALLY going to move in together. Soon. Hopefully.).
We’re both happy with the situation as it is (me practically living at his place 50% of the time. :P), but moving in together is such a huge step, and need to be thought through properly.

Good thing is though, we both agreed on it being a thing a while into the future. At the point of today, we’ve been together for 8 months, and we just think it’s too soon.

You’ll probably hear from me again later in 2007. :P

Recently (as in yesterday), one of my mom’s friends asked me when I were going to move in with my boyfriend, going on about my mom thinking it couldn’t be long until we did, yadiyadiya.. :P I just found that hilarious. But my parents, atleast my mom, have told me she’s VERY much looking forward to having the house for “herself”. Though, my lil bro still live at home. But he’ll be gone most of the year from the summer/autumn on, since he’s going out on the sea to work.
