The House

This guest post from Margaret Mills

When my wife and I initially moved in together it was right before we got married and neither of us had cohabitated before. I was a little nervous but I should have been way more so – it was challenging! Just the sheer amount of stuff was staggering and my wife was far more stubborn than I thought she’d be about getting rid of some of hers so we could fit it all in. It was like, why does my stuff have to go? She would let me get the big screen I wanted (which I did get as a wedding gift, thanks dad and Direct TV!) and we were fighting all the time about really trivial stuff like who had the best dishes. It took a couple of months for us to sort it all out but now we’re living together smoothly again which was what I always wanted. I love my wife and she’s so wonderful in so many ways but I’m glad we don’t have to ever go through that again!
