Tracy and I moved in together today, unofficially. Officially, though, we were able to tell the family and friends at a welcome barbecue that night that Tracy and I are expecting… with an expected delivery date of January 2, 2006, if all goes well.
I haven’t really lived in a house since 1990, back in Dekalb, Illinois, with six other college students. The house was dubbed “the house of spackle”. Despite $20K in renovations, it still looked like the beacon for keg parties in Dekalb County. When I moved to Seattle in 1994, I lived in a communal house for 3.5 months, but that felt like an apartment.
This new house is a medium-sized palace… after 15 years of one-bedroom houses. Like all couples do, we’re setting the place up especially for us, and thinking about the next six months and all the preparations that need to be made.
