moving in
Settling into home
Moving in is the process of transporting belongings and establishing residence in a new place: We're moving in next weekend.
The phrase often implies the beginning of cohabitation: After six months of dating, she's moving in with him.
To move in on something is to approach aggressively or encroach on another's territory: Competitors are moving in on our market share.
