Moving In

I'm finishing up the process of moving in with my partner. It's scary and wonderful and exciting and natural, all at the same time.

We've been together a month and a half short of a year, when I was making my decision to take a leave of absence from school, he asked if I would move in. At first I said I wouldn't, that I didn't think we should rush something like that just because of life circumstance and we were planning on it in a few months anyway. But life circumstance and love prevailed and when we discussed it again we agreed that the time was right.

Moving out of my old place was stressful, my landlords are sort of aggressive and I was not feeling like I wanted to deal with them more than I had to. Moving in, though, was really lovely. Integrating stuff, setting up an office space, even making a trip to Ikea were all things that made me feel connected to my partner and settled in myself and in Boston.

Learning to live with a partner is a new thing for me. I'm excited and nervous about it, but I'm also optimistic that this is the right thing and a good thing.
