Bridey's Profile

My boyfriend and I moved in together a year and a half ago, and the best advice I have is to remember that it is a transition for both of you. Keep that in mind to help the bumps in the road work themselves out. Having a little extra patience goes a long way when you are figuring out how your natural dynamic as a live-in couple.

We also have two cats -- one had been living with me for years, the other with my mom. Letting them take their time to get comfortable was huge. They both went through weird phases (one cat slept under the dresser for a couple months, another was in the closet all day every day), but they both came around eventually.

I had put off buying flowers for the longest time because I assumed they would die quickly. Finally, before the holiday weekend I picked some up to add some extra cheer to our little apartment. Amazingly, they are still going strong! I am thrilled keeping flowers around is part of the Cure. It will motivate me to keep it up rather than let it fall by the wayside!
