First of all, congrats! I lived with hubby for several years before marrying him, and I'm glad I did. It lets you in on little quirks that you may not know he had, and you may not know YOU had, too.
Secondly, make sure you have a vacuum cleaner!!! Assuming you have carpet, that is. Blech, nothing worse than living in a carpeted area with no vacuum. It's an essential.
Thirdly, and not to put a damper on things, make sure you maintain separate bank accounts (even if you decide to have one together, STILL maintain your own account) and consider very carefully large purchases made together. Be very open in communications involving money. That can definitely be a major stress point when moving in together; who pays the bills, how is your money shared, are you going to get upset if he makes a major purchase without your knowledge (and vice versa)? Just protect yourself and be knowledgable in this area.
Good luck and congrats again!!
