Our First Year



So my fiancé and I decided to have me move in with him, From
California where I lived to Arkansas where he lives. We planned the move for March
or April of 2012 but due to other circumstances we decided to make the move
right after Christmas. So I finished my last semester at city college, and
spent the holidays with my family before heading out to Arkansas.
Throughout our relationship Sean and I have nurtured the communication between us, So this move was something that we talked about a lot.
We both had our worries, he had never lived with anyone, no other woman, or even a roommate it was just him, and I had been single since 2003 living with just my kids, no man around to run things by or even consider , I was on my own.
Some of our worries stemmed from not having lived together and not really having a traditional relationship and not having the opportunity to interact one on one in person ,but we didn’t worry too much because we decided to treat it as we had our long distance relationship, one day at a time and, bringing our worries to each other.
Early in the relationship we had decided that we were not going to have a very long, long distance relationship. So after 20 months together I'm living in Arkansas. I made the move Dec 28, 2011.
Our first week together(at the time) seem very stressful. I had been slowly shipping my stuff to Arkansas and upon my arrival had one bedroom full of my belongings. Needless to say Sean had to make room in his home so that I could start putting my stuff away. Sean really didn't want me to get started on that for some time (he is a very laid back person that doesn't really rush and plans things)but, he was a bachelor and things were not comfortable for me the way they were,(and I'm a very impatient person that wants things done now rather than later) hence our first disagreement and lesson.
What's really important here?
