Moving: Settling In

It's been 25 days since we moved in to our new home. This is how we're adjusting.

The Cats
The cats are loving the new place. There's so much room for them to move around. Also, they love the big window ledges. They fight so rarely now, and that makes my heart happy. It's funny, because they will still follow me around 90% of the time. I'm not sure why that is, but it's endearing in my mind.


Fiance & I
Well, it's obvious that we love it. Personally, I love the room! In my old apartment, there was hardly any room to move around in because of all my stuff. Now I feel UN-claustrophobic and I can actually breathe. And if I need to get up and move around, I don't have to seem offensive to Fiance because I can just go to the kitchen and it's far enough away that I feel like I'm by myself, but still close enough that we can talk if he's in the living room.
I think he loves the room, too. And my/our bed. It was mine first... lol. But he is such a bed hog! I know he's a big guy, and I'm a smallish girl, but goodness... A queen size bed just isn't big enough for the two of us. I think we'll have to look into buying a king sized bed pretty soon. It hurts my body to not move around and having to lay still because he moves so much. He swears that the bed isn't split evenly, but we BOTH made sure it was when we were making the bed. Oh well.

The Fish
Haha, I don't know why I feel inclined to include them, but I think they're really happy too. Their room has lots of natural light, so I know the guppy tank likes that and I think the big tank likes it as well, even though they had natural light before.
I bought the guppy tank some new incandescent lights the other day. I think the plant bulbs I got are supposed to be a red color, because the leaves start green (and are still doing wonderfully, btw) but turn a yellowy-olive color with hints of red throughout. The yellow lights just don't give off a good amount of light, so I got incandescent ones. Honestly, it  doesn't look much different in my tank, but I think that has to do with the scheming. I have yellowy-orange-natural colors for the gravel and the terracotta pot is orange. The rocks/gravel in the bigger tank are whites and lighter natural colors so *hopefully* the new light will let the leaves turn red.
