So I had a lot of fun blogging about Missing MLG Anaheim so I figured I'd try and make this a more regular occurrence 
This blog is going to be about my impending move later this month. I say later this month but it really is Saturday the 23rd. (so like 11 days or something) For those that don't know I've been dating my girlfriend for two years now. She is amazing and super supportive of my casting and passion for Starcraft. She's attended two MLGs with me so far and we are planning on attending Raleigh in August. She loves watching the Day[9] daily and watches almost all major tournaments with me. Her favorite players are those that are nice guys, so Sheth is her favorite. Overall i'm really excited about moving in with her but a little nervous.
She is currently out of school working at the University that I'm attending. (I'll be graduating in Dec) Over the last year in particular I've pretty much lived in her 1 bedroom apartment with her 4-5 days out of the week. The other nights I was staying in the "LXG House" but overall I was really paying rent for a place that really only held my stuff. With both of our leases ending (Mine doesn't end until August >_<) we figured it was time to look into a place together.
We looked around at a couple apartments and town houses for about a month or so before we found the place we are planning to move into. The new place has 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, 4 closets, a large living room, and a large kitchen. It was originally bigger because it was a town house but when the owner bought it he divided it up into 2 apartments. This place is awesome for a number of reasons, the 2 bedrooms in particular I like because I get one to turn into my office/man cave  The living room itself is bigger than my girlfriends entire apartment currently so all this extra space is going to be great for actually being able to invite friends over.
Like I mentioned before I'm excited and nervous. I'm looking forward to moving in with her but I'm really hoping the place will be big enough that we will have our own space. I don't want our relationship to get messed up because we annoy the shit out of each other when we live together or something crazy like that
I know this first part is just a wall of text so keep an eye out for part 2 (Will be Monday mainly focusing on the places we are leaving behind) part 3 will probably the 24~25th. Which I'll post up pictures of the old place and the place we are moving into.

Thanks for the support ^_^ You make a good point since we've pretty much been living together that I shouldn't be worried. We'll see how it goes!

If you can find joy in the little things of living together, then you'll be perfectly fine.
Good luck, man!

Yeah I was in the same situation pretty much, spending like 5-6 days at my gfs house before we finally moved in together. You are pretty much already living together, and the transition isn't very difficult.
One thing that is important is to make sure you clear stuff by each other, i.e. inviting guests over so you don't piss her off and have to play single player for a while.
Good luck, she sounds like a keeper.

if you like eachother enough that you're moving in together...you're probably not going to drive eachother crazy in a negative way. and if you do already...it's not something adding a little more space is going to fix.
id get a one bedroom, personally. man cave is nice. but it wont be as nice when she realizes she doesnt have a girl cave.

Thanks for all of the support guys I really appreciate it! :D

Haha she's going to be in charge of the rest of the house but the one thing that she says she's going to miss the most is the lack of a porch  at least there is a community yard out back.
This weekend I'm going to go up and do a bunch of packing so I'll post up another blog probably monday with pictures!

LOL that's what I thought. I lived with my wife (we were only BF/GF at the time) like 5 days out of the week for about two years, but when we officially got an apartment together shit changed. She started nagging me about all this random shit like "leaving a shirt on the ground" the small nitpicking that your mom usually says. I mean I got used to it, but I definitely felt a change when we lived together 24/7.
Yeah, but good luck with the moving in.

Take these words as what I have learned, over the course of my life.
My advice to you is to have a frank discussion about cleaning, money, and where you want to be in 5 years (which includes thoughts on parenthood, career, goals, housing, pets etc.).
For a living space to be nice and clean it takes a lot of work. Part of being a man is helping and putting forth as much effort to help the one you care about.
If you don't feel like you are contributing over 50% to the relationship, then you are not doing enough.
Your girlfriend and her happyness should always be more important than a video game.
