BTW - didn't remember to congratulate you on the next step forward in your relationship. So congrats. :-) Moving in with my girlfriend (now - wife) with her 3 kids is probably the hardest thing I've ever done, and also the thing that's been most beneficial for me mentally and emotionally. Now that she's my wife, I keep thanking my lucky stars that I was able to slow down my skirt-chasing long enough to take notice of a good deal when it came along. Just keep in mind that you are two independent creatures living in each other's "bubble" for the first time. There WILL be fights - it's just critical to fight only about the issue, and not let it get personal or mean. You loved each other enough to move in together, keep that in mind during the inevitable disagreements.
