Its official. Next year, Joe and I are going to live together. Really, its this year but so far away-July!
We talked about it yesterday and I told him about the things I worry about-i.e. money and having to pay for most everything. He seemed to understand and told me I'd probably be surprised. He's probably right. Having to be finacially responsible for someone else's well being may motivate him enough. I will however most likely turn into a nag.
I think we are going to get a two story, two bedroom, two bathroom townhouse in my apartment complex. Everything is included in them-rent, utilities, cable, internet.
My mom doesn't like this idea. But its my life. Joe and I have been dating for over two years. We have been getting along. My parents don't pay any of my bills, any of my rent, any of my school. At most, I can get some meals, maybe some gas and maybe some groceries but those items are few and far between.
There are still some things that I worry about. I worry that we'll end up living in a complete state of chaos and messiness. I worry that Joe will take advatange of my desire to be the perfect little housewife/girlfriend-I love to be that! I love to clean and cook and do laundry for someone I love. Which is why its a shame that we lead different time schedules and that I've chosen a career that will keep me out of the house. I'm worried that Joe will get bored with me. I'm worried that he'll lose the motivation to move on to the next step-i.e. marriage. I think he'll be worried about that last one too but I can keep telling myself that May 2010, I'm moving on with or without him. I guess I know that I should talk to him about these things too.
