Life was Simple-then you marry!

Jumping from 'dancing is everything' to the full time work world was not too hard.
Now you work all week until you can hit the clubs. Cool! And now you have a car
and car payments. Still living home with Mom & Dad feels only temporary.
I see too many parents now who may have their kids still home when they are 40!
We never really thought we would stay home too long after our education ended.
I was not college bound so thought work & marriage was all that was on the horizon.
I was engaged at the end of Senior Year in high school. That ended with him returning
to his former girlfriend. I can only think that would have been a bad turn of events
anyway. Within a few months I was dating a former boyfriend who had dropped off
the face of the earth for a few months. He had called a few times but my brother was
involved with drugs and didn't take messages for me well during that period.
I learned early on to let them go and move on. I wasn't pretty like the 'popular'
girls but I was a good dancer and could carry on a conversation that guys could
easily follow. I had a lot of guys who were friends and I got to hear all the problems
they had with their 'prissy' 'self-centered' girlfriends so I knew what they wanted
to hear.
So the old boyfriend becomes the new guy in my life and then my soon to be husband.
I was married on the 1 year anniversary of my high school graduation.
