Been a member here for...9 years now? Gone through all kinds of things with you guys from good to bad. But today I am happy to discuss something good (unless you are Will then this is illogical)

Met my girlfriend about two years ago, we hired her as our accountant at my family owned business. After sometime she and I ended up dating and have been together now for a little over a year. A month ago we decided to move in together. So I kicked my roomies out, repainted the interior of the house, new doors, knobs, locks, switches, outlets, lighting, refinished the cabinets, new fridge, water heater,and new carpet, whole bunch of crap. This past weekend she and her two little girls ( ages 3 and 8) moved in.

Gotta say after this past month I feel like a completely different person, in a good way. Feel like I'm growing up. I used to help my old man with home renovations and say to myself "pffft I'll never need to know how to do this or that." and here I am today doing those very things.

We are still going through the unpacking and settling in phase. Once that is done I am going to begin redoing the shared bathroom, and then the master bathroom. Then the focus will shift to the outside of the house, painting and landscaping. By end of the summer I should have a nice compilation of before and after photos to share.

If you were to have asked me a years or so ago "Hey Omid, how would you like to move in with your gf and two kids?" I'd have ****ing laughed in your face. Funny how things change. Now I can tell you that I'm looking forward to the life together and even the challenges ahead. Never thought I'd end up with children to take care of just yet but heck they are great, and the four of us make for a happy family. I have a ring in the works as well...should have it back from the shop start of next month. Had it made out of some diamonds from her mom and my mom. Once we are settled in and things calm down I will pop the question.

Here is a picture of me and my girl at the World of Coca-Cola here in Georgia.
