We have been in our own home for almost a month now. It has been mostly good the entire way. However with my new job and having to do two roles at work right now, I have'nt been home on time for so long. It has been a bit frustrating for us both because it means Simon has to cook dinner and he is doing a really good job, but its one of those things we have always shared in the past. Now we realise you cannot always do it together and I would like a chance to repay the favour, but I just am never there early enough to do so yet. I am proud of how well he has done with the cooking though, since he never had alot of experience in the past.
Lastnight was spent at my parents house since Simon had a gig on. Actally he has 3 big gigs on all around the place this weekend. And last night was the biggest and it involved a lot of free drinks. While he would normally drive, we ended up catching a taxi home. At 4:30am. So it is now 10:30am and I am sitting here unable to sleep but have given up on the idea anyway. I have neer been good at sleeping during the day. I will certainly hit me hard tonight though. He is sound asleep. Maybe still drunk too. Argh.. I hate drunkeness. Its probably one of the main things we clash over. Drinking and the band and it seems they go together so really it is just one big thing.
But at least we have the chance to do the moving out thing together now. And once he gets a few drinks into him... quite a few. He starts to tell everyone that I mean more to him than anything so I guess that is a good thing too. Pity it takes the drink to make him talk like that. However I should be grateful that he rarely does it.
All I know is that I am going to be so exhausted at the end of this weekend! Then back to work it is for another long week of long hours!

2 And A Half Weeks In
We moved out about two and a half weeks ago. Still no internet connected though, hence the lack of updates on how the big move is going.
We are still only 3/4 unpacked but the house is looking better every day... other than the two spare rooms where most of the remaining boxes and crap is sitting. However so far everything has gone really well. Hardly any arguments and what one we did have was because Simon was in Sydney on band tour anyway so we were not even in the same state. Simply the usual emotional rollercoaster that happens when he goes away.
We have been sharing the duties quite well and enjoying eachothers company and shopping for the odds and ends that we still need for the house. Overall, its coming together well.
I have noticed that there are only a few tiny things that have annoyed me since the move. The main one is the fact that when Simon comes home, he puts on the TV, so by the time I come home, the TV is always on, even if he isn't watching it. Sometimes the stereo is on too, or somethings he is playing guitar in the other room. Quite annoying but he has always been a big TV watcher. Not until you live with someone do you realise exactly how much. However his cleaning habits haven't bothered me because he is quite well trained for a boy. He even puts the toilet seat down which I expected to be an issue.
I think the move was a good choice for us. It seems to have been the right thing to do. So far all is going well but I'll post more updates soon when we get the internet connected.

A Week After The Move
We started moving house Friday last week. It is now the following Friday and all is going well. The house is still in a state of mid-unpack. However, the essential stuff is all unpacked and organised. We have started to make it like a home and I am quite happy with it overall.
I think I suffered from some anxiety leading up to the move. I had a tight feeling in my throat for days and its gone now, but I think it was fear that it would all go wrong. But instead, it has been nothing but wonderful all week so far.
Simon and I have been getting along better than usual. We have been helping eachother each day, patient and loving all the time. It has been fun and exhausting, but so far I have had no doubt that it was the right thing to do.
We had a romantic night Wednesday night, and shared a bubble bath in our giant 2 person tub. I'm loving the bath tub very much. We cooked dinner and relaxed for the night... because yesterday one of those moments I dread arrived. Simon went on band tour.
They left yesterday afternoon and he will not be back until sometime on Monday. I think perhaps having spent such a wonderful week together taking this big step in our relationship has made it slightly easier than usual... however I really do not cope well with the band tours. I hate the paranoia that takes over my mind and I hate the fact that he is having a total blast without me. My best times are with him and I worry that his are with the band. He tells me they aren't, but I cannot help this insecurity.
My biggest fear is that every time he has gone in the past his phone has gone dead and while he started well with comunication, suddenly he stops calling or answering his phone for hours on end and I panic and assume the worst. I am hoping this time he doesn't allow that to happen, but its hard with his crappy phone battery.
I just hope that he comes back missing me like mad because of the perfect week we've spent together in our new home!

The Big Move
It all begins today. Finishing work early to go straight to the Real Estate to sign the lease and get the keys. The car is already packed up with a few bits and pieces. Tonight will mostly be to just look around and check the house out with out any furniture in it. Then tomorrow the real fun begins!

Never- Ending Packing
I must have more crap than anyone else I know at the age of 24. I have almost everything needed to furnish a house. Thanks to my parents, we will have pretty much everything we need in general to move out. But that is useful. Its the fact that I have so much other crap that is starting to wear on me.
I have already filled most of the spare room with boxes and it appears that I have only unpacked half my room. Actually, Simon thinks my room looks no different. But it does. The shelves in my entertainment unit are emptyish. The ornaments and photo frames from around the room are packed and the top of the cupboard is almost empty. The scary thing is that I even filled two massive boxes with shoes and bags. I'm not even sure I managed to find them all yet either, since there is still most of my cupboard to clean out.
I am getting there though... so its a start. Simon only started tonight and I doubt he even got much done. He forgot to take the boxes home he found at work so I have no idea what he is packing his stuff into! Suitcases maybe. They come in handy for moving. He luckily has very little in comparison to me. However that is also a point of complaint since he is bringing nothing much useful along to the house when we move!
Only 2 days til the move begins!
