re-(dear)born


It's official. I live in Dearborn now. The Thai protectors are now watching over our house in beautiful, wonderful, forgotten Dearborn instead of my former apartments in the tight, crumbling student buildings of Ann Arbor.

While there will always be some friction moving in together, things have gone really well. Many of the closets are overstuffed, and we have to resolve the issue of having two coffee tables, two vacuums, and no less than 24 stemmed glasses*, but there are certain unexpected perks of combining possessions. For instance, I now have an umbrella vase (I've always kind of wanted one of those).

I do have to admit that the whole move hasn't completely sunk in yet. I am starting to feel more at home, and am having an easier time of it than some of our plants. Apparently, ivy grows up in Ann Arbor and down in Dearborn. This one is now thoroughly confused.

*We're thinking of having a house-warming party so that our stemware can be used and some inevitably broken
