moving out and moving in tips and suggestions?

xxtreemchik2

My wedding is in 24 days; my fiance and I just got our first apartment and he is all moved in. The only problem is... I really haven't at this point. Some of my things have slowly made there way over to the apartment; but most is still in piles in my room at my parents house. With only a short time left I know I should be happy and packing if not moved in already but a part of me freezes up every time I walk into my room. I know I am a little late to the whole moving out thing but is t always this hard to leave your childhood home? Does anyone have any tips to make this transition go a bit easier and smoother?

I'm afraid of this step when it happens to me. Not sure if I have any advice but guess just wanted you to know you're not alone!

I don't have much advice either, but I am afraid of that feeling too!  My room has been mine forever, and it will be hard to leave it!

I only moved out when I was 24 and it was a transition but your parents house will still be there and you have your Fi-almost husband, lucky girl- to be there with you.It's a little sad in the beginning but once you take that step it gets easier and then it becomes a whole new world. Going to visit mom and dad is different than living with them but it's a life change!! Good luck and be happy! You are ready to embark on a new life with the man you love!

I guess I had always thought it would be easy, I thought I would be like a movie... I would grab my last box, with it on balanced on my hip I would turn off the light and walk to the car taking a moment to look back and smile in the memory of what once was. Instead I am on a emotional roller-coaster that I can't seem to get off of. My FI has been a god-sent about the whole thing trying to remind me that this is the starting of something new.... but a part of me is still dragging my legs to pack anything up. I guess I will simply have to plow through, maybe try putting on some wedding music to remind myself why I need to move on.

It is hard to move out of a room you've had forever, but trust me on this, having your own place is SO much better than living with mom and dad! It is an adjustment, but it's definitely worth it! Also be prepared for some bickering or fighting when you move in with your fiance! It takes some adjusting to live with yiour significant other and the first few can be rocky sometimes! Just hang in there!

Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement and support it is helpful to know that I am not alone in feeling this way.

Have you stayed at college or camp before? I would try to view it as a long sleep over

It's strange moving into any new place even if it isn't the first time. It has always been hard for me to fall asleep the first few nights. It is only a temporary feeling! You will feel right at home in no time at all! And think of how awesome it's going to feel when you have friends or family over to YOUR place for drinks/dinner/bbqs etc...
