Home Is Where The Hauslaib Is

The TV Guide
January 12th, 2009

After my plans with Danielle fell thru last night, I met up with Steph and Alek to watch the Golden Globes at the last minute. The weather is so hot these days that we watched much of the Globes sitting on their balcony in the warm night breeze:


But after devouring a pizza, we came back inside for the rest of the night. We had a lot of fun making comments about the show, we were all generally really happy with last night’s winners.

And now … the news … I won’t play games and delay any longer, the big news (which some of you correctly guessed) is that David and I are finally moving in together when he relocates from NYC to LA next month (as in, a few weeks!). I drop off my first payments this afternoon on our beautiful and SPACIOUS new 3 bedroom condo in West Hollywood, CA. I was hesitant to say anything about our new place until it was a done deal, signed and sealed. I just didn’t want to jinx anything, our new place is really amazing! Folks, I finally have everything my heart has ever desired … two walk-in closets in a master bedroom ;) We take possession on the February 1 and hope to be fully moved in as soon as we can be after that date (just in time to celebrate our 3 year anniversary). There is a lot going on as a result but it’s all very happy and exciting news. Much love to all y’all who have been sending amazing messages to me over the past couple of weeks … it means a lot that so many of you have been so supportive, you guys are really THE BEST :) 2009 looks like it’s going to be the best year ever!

I’m sure I’ll have more info to share in the coming weeks … wish us luck, David and I are about to begin the next chapter in our lives together :)

    yeah!!! i kinda figured that was the news you were going to share! i’m SO happy for you two!! yippee!!! =] let’s see pics of this new amazing condo once you two get moved in! congrats!!! =]

  25. lauren Says:

    Yay!! Congrats! As a bit of advice from someone who’s done the long-distance to living-together transition, you gotta work a bit to keep things as loving and fun as usual. It’s easier to take the other person for granted when they’re ALWAYS around. So don’t do that! And have fun playing house!!!

  26. Angel511J Says:

    I wish you two the best :) Take good care of each other and don’t let the stresses of moving make this any less fun then it should be. Congratulations!

  27. Lori Says:

    YAY!!!! I’m so happy for you guys!! I knew you guys would take the next step!! Congrats you two!!!

  28. Hatte Says:

    congrats! You guys have done a great job making this bi-coastal relationship work. I’m happy you will be able to be together at last!

  29. SuperCath Says:

    So happy for both of you!!
    Congratulations!

    Can’t believe it’s been 3 years! So that means I must have been reading your blog for at least 4-5 years?!?
    Wow! Time flies!

  30. PITNBer Says:

    Awwww, congratulations! I agree, time flies! :)

  31. Ashley H Says:

    Congrats Trent :) Can we just say that I called it first? (as in first fan to call it on PITNB!) haha :) Yay for closet space, I’m in NYC, and I don’t really know what that it. A nice valentines present too! (The moving in together, not the closets hahah!)

  32. Liz Says:

    Congrats!

  33. Sarah Says:

    WooT!!!! All the best to you both! If you ever decide to tie the knot, come on up to canada :)

  34. Madsme Says:

    Congratulations – that’s such great news. Next thing you know y’all be married (I secretly have my fingers crossed :) I look forward to seeing more cute pictures!

  35. Pam Says:

    Yippeeeeee! I’m so excited for you 2 to be together in the same city/state for more than a week at a time!
    Enjoy!

  36. Scarlet Says:

    CONGRADULATIONS!!!
    So happy for the both.
    Not to be a “Debbie Downer” when all is so upbeat – I just hope that the two of you can keep the wonderful chemistry between you going now that you’ll actually be with each other on a daily basis – and not flying back and forth, visiting each other and taking vacations together. So far you’ve had the ideal romance between the two of you, in large part I believe due to the fact that you’ve kept a perfect balance of time spent together.
    So here’s to taking it to the next step, and keeping that up the chemistry and romance that the two of you share now that you’ll be spending so much more time together.
    I hope so much for you that it works out. The both of you deserve this great love and happiness!
    Again, congradulations!

  37. Zanne Says:

    Yay! Congrats! And ditto to what Lauren said. The first year living together was the hardest when my long-distance sweetie and I were finally able to move in together. But we just had to get used to communicating in a different way. Seven years, a marriage, and a baby later, we’re still doing great! :) (You know, I think we dated long distance for 3 yrs too before being able to live together!)

  38. Heather Says:

    Wow congrats to you both :) I am so happy for you and I think you two make the cutest couple ever :)
    I am excited that this might mean we’ll be seeing more of David on the blog :) Right? Please?
    Heather

  39. SuziLee Says:

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! I’m very happy for you both!!!! Wish you much happiness & a whole lotta love!!!!!!!

  40. Margie Says:

    I had a hunch but I, like you, didn’t want to jinx it. Many, many congrats, Trent and David. Hopefully, when they repeal that stupid, stupid, STUPID anti-gay marriage amendment, then soon we can hear and see your wedding on these very pages. Sending you guys the best and warming wishes from Texas where it’s COLD!!!

  41. Ivory Says:

    CONGRATULATIONS!!

  42. LYSSA Says:

  82. tanya Says:

    I haven’t been up on my reading lately as I’ve been away from teh internets. Congratulations, that’s such wonderful news! I’m also in a long-distance relationship (my guy is currently in another country and we’ve been together nearly 4 years) and we don’t get to see each other very often. So I kind of understand how difficult it must have been for you guys to keep your relationship going. You’re a source of inspiration for those of us who are also going through the same thing. It really isn’t easy, I’m just glad that your story has a happy ending (or rather, a happy new beginning). All the best!

    Did you just say 3 BEDROOMS?! Okay I live in a studio, and it cost me a quarter mill. Good for you guys!

    And good for PITNB… seems all of these comments are positive towards your relationship. No gay bashers and bible thumpers… they’ve moved elsewhere (or even changed their minds, hopefully). Maybe times are changing after all, praise jebus. :)

  157. Boris Says:

    When I lived in LA, I could only (and barely!) afford to live at Western and Wilshire with cockroaches!!! I did spent a lot of fun times in WeHo though. =) I’d say I’m jealous because I know how much fun you’re having but I moved back to Chicago which is the city I truly love.
