My situation was a little weird compare to others! I graduated high school and stayed at home while going to college. While in college, I got married but with my husband in the army and headed to Korea a month later, I still stayed at my parents to save money and finish up my associates! So, I was 2 years out of high school, a month out of college, and married for a year before I moved out with Brian. But, even then, we moved to Texas and into military housing. That was in June of 2002. In April he left for Iraq so now I'm fully living alone for the first time. It's kind of weird for me! I love having our own place but I can't wait for him to be back here because I really thought it was better with him here to share it all with! As for pets, we got Dakota in July of 2002, Destiny in October of 2002, and Sierra in March of 2003. I love my parents and wish we lived closer to them, but it's so nice to be out of their house so that we all have our own space!
