5 Lessons We Learned After Moving in Together

My fiancé Chris recently sold his home in Sacramento, and we were finally able to move in together! It was great timing because I was getting a bit too comfortable flying solo. I'm 34 years old and an independent gal, and I was loving throwing my shoes wherever I wanted and sprawling out on the bed, but it was time to share. Naturally, I was a little nervous and hoped that our tiny apartment in San Diego could handle both of us and our stuff. Here's what we've learned from our time living together so far.

Tip of the Day: Manage loved ones' expectations. "You've thought about your wedding day for years, but your parents, in-laws, and friends will also have their own ideas of what the day should entail.

Trying to make everyone else happy will only take away from the joy of being a bride," says Dr. Deborah Pardee, a licensed psychologist and faculty member at University of the Rockies.
