Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! You don't know a tiny fraction of it but I could keep you going for ages with funny stories and still wouldn't have touched more than a small fraction.

Even DH only knows a small percentage of my life story.[/i] I may write a book someday. Can't publish it til I'm dead though.

I completely agree with you on the grandkids. There are a blast aren't they? Can't wait to see pics!

BTW I used to be a CBer too. My handle was Cotton Candy.

Had another handle too but only used it too stir up trouble with jerks on the air.


OMG! 58

Where's Ron at?!!

He usually reminds me about the count down!

Haha, no Aubrey, I dont mean he was immature (Although a lot are) I mean he was just mean to me if I didnt act exactly like he expected me too. We broke up because on my graduation night, I had like two beers with my aunt and cousins. I was not drunk, but I was a little tipsy, and he got soo mad. He called me an alcoholic, and threw a huge fit, and I said "We're done" For the record, I dont do drugs and Ive only drank alcohol three times. I dunno what his issue was, but he was convinced Im some sort of wild partier. Haha, if only he knew.

Welcome Brandi!! Hey Ke_ben, its been awhile. Some one was asking about you earlier, I think.

57!!

I met my husband when I was 13 and he was 17! I fell in love with him when I laid eyes on him! I had no idea who he was but I said that's the guy I'm going to marry! We got married 2 weeks after my high school graduation and we've been married 32 years. I won't say they were all good years but the majority have been and we are best friends and we still crack each other up...and he's still hot, hot, hot! I always said I kept him because all my friends wanted him!

Everybody is different, I don't think you can put an age on when someone is mature enough to make such a commitment. I did ask my mom if she ever worried about us meeting so young and she said, of all her kids (I'm 1 of 4) that I always knew what I wanted and she never worried about me.

 

[laceynoelle]

Lol that what my mom says about me!! Haha, shes sure Ive got a good head on my shoulders, Me on the other hand, Im never as sure of myself. Shes a little worried about my sister, shes 16 and thinks she found 'the one'. She changes so fast, but I dunno. He got her a promise ring and everything, then she dumped him. Now she dating someone else, but still plans on marrying him in the long run or somthing. Its confusing. I think teenagers are in love with the idea of love these days. Im not saying it cant work out, but everyone's so ready to get a move on. Im just kinda chillin and waiting it out. Or maybe I havent met my man yet.

I so love these stories! It is so wonderful to hear when life works out so well but even you admit you were unique. I'm not saying that it's always a bad idea to marry young. You, my parents, Sheryl, Daniel and Kim (and a sweet couple at the dance we go to that have been married 64 years) are proof that some folks know exactly what they are doing. It's just that when I was young I wasn't as sure as you about what I wanted out of life and it took me a little while to figure that out. I was also more easily influenced by others. Now I don't do anything I don't want to do but back then, well, I was not as strong as I am now.

I think that even though there are some wonderful stories about young love, that has endured despite the odds, for most folks I would still caution them to wait. The reason we love these romantic success stories sooo much is becuse they are so rare. The reason we look up to you wonderful folks is because we understand how unique and special you couples that make it are. I'm afraid for every success story that we hear there are a multitude of horror stories and I know that you've seen them too and would probably give someone the same advice if you knew they weren't sure that they were doing the right thing. Most of the time it's just not a good idea (as your Mom knew it might not be for your siblings who weren't so sure of what they wanted).

Yes age is not really the factor here. There's no magical age that comes and shows us exactly what the right decision is for us at any given moment but most of us do make better decisions as we get older. Of course some of us make bad decisions all of our lives and some of us know exactly what we want at an early age (I knew I loved being single but gave into pressure to marry at 23) and have no problems sticking to that no matter what folks say.

Hey everyone.
Welcome to the group Brandi.

My rabbit got delayed a day in leaving because my transporter had car trouble come up and then I found out tonight that part of 1-80 is close through WY because of bad snow storms. Hope fully it all clears up

yep. my old high school friend married her h.s. sweetheart right out of the gate. and now guess who was sponging off of us because she had nowhere to go after her divorce at 23?

in the end i think its all about finding that one person that was made to be your other half....


welcome brandi!

tyler that sucks about your rabbit!

Wow, I love when we get on here and talk about ourselves. It makes this so personal. Now Sunny, I know what you mean about age and yes Lacey, you can't put age on maturity. There are numerous exceptions. My whole family is one I think now after reading through all the posts. My older son was the first to be divorced in the family, he felt so bad but I told him it was better than being unhappy and do what your heart tells you to do and not what others have done. My older sister now that one really surprised me. She met her husband in October, married him in December the same year. He ships out to sea, she finds out she's pregnant. He gets home just in time for my niece to be born. He ships out again and my sister finds out she's pregnant again, now he told her please don't tell me your pregnant this time and of course she had too. My niece and nephew are 13 months apart. Now these 2 I didn't think it would last because of my sister. I mean, she was engaged 3 times in 4 years so why would this one work out and yet they are still married to this day. All is good with them too. My parents married young, my mom was 16 and my dad was 18. They lasted for 51 years until my mom died. My niece, nephew and younger son all met their spouses in High School. They all knew what they were doing and it's really working for them too. When I go through the generations of my family I see everyone married young. I also found out my 7th great grandfather's motto was, tell your kids to marry young, have children right away and to always protect this Country that is why we are here. Every single generation has done that. Every single generation has been in the military, unless they were only girls. Both my boys and my nephew knew they were going to join the military, they just didn't know which branch they wanted except for my older son, he told me when he was 12 years old he was going into the Navy. He broke up with his High School sweetheart because she wanted him to go Air Force and he wouldn't change it. He told her they were not on the same page and perhaps it wasn't meant to be. It's funny how things happen and end up the way they do?

Oh and Sunny, Dottie was going to call you last night but it was so late she didn't want to call. I told her you would understand, perhaps you might want to call her instead?

Okay, goodnight all and everyone have a great day tomorrow.
