Moving Out!

So we didn't end up with choices like I'd hoped. We missed out on the second house. But we did go see the first house that we have been approved for. It is certainly an older style home, wooden panel instead of brick, with a shabby garden and all that, but it has been well maintained and renovated.

Inside is a little small in the general living area, but the kitchen is quite new and large, with a dishwasher and lots of cupboard space and benches. The bathroom is also quite modern but small... but the exciting thing is that most of the bathroom is taken up by a massive bath. I love relaxing in the bath some nights so I am loving the size of the bath!

The backyard is big with a double carport and single lock up garage. There are 2 garden sheds as well, although I have nothing to go in them yet.

I was amazed that Simon actually liked the house actually. He is fussy. His parents have a massive fancy house and he turned down a house not so long ago that I didn't think was that bad at all. But he was pointing stuff out, saying what was good and that yes he liked it and yes we'd go for it.

The scary thing now is that he is still not quite being himself lately. Keeps laying down all these ground rules, but I think they are fears that things will change, just like I am fearing with all his rule throwing. We are both nervous of the big change ahead and I'm hoping this initial issue we are having will go once we make the move and settle into our new routine.

Either way... we are finally moving out. More than 5 years into our relationship!
