ellenclare: It’s official. I am now living with my boyfriend in Sin City (read: this is what I will call the house). I love the pic and I love that you are calling your abode Sin City.  I moved in with my fiance (who was then my boyfriend) just over a year ago.  It was a huge deal, but not for us - for our my parents.  I thought they were going to disown me. The thing is, if we had friends in St Louis to live with, we would have totally gone that route.  But since our friends were either living with their significant other, or living by themselves contently, we didn’t really have that option.  It would have been silly for us to live in separate apartments when we would be spending most nights together anyway. Of course, that reasoning was not at all acceptable by the parental units. Now, they seem to be okay with it, but I think that’s just because we’re getting married. Ha!
