So what was going on during this time with me personally? I was excited to finish high school. I really wanted to go to college, but couldn't. (I went later) So, I signed up for a business school instead. But I met a boy who wanted to get married, so I decided not to go to school, but instead worked at a low paying job to save for my wedding. I moved out of my parents home for a short time, but moved back when I found out I couldn't live on my own and save too.

Three different young men professed their love for me that summer and asked me to marry them...but at the time I didn't believe in Polyandry...I am rethinking this. What would I want with three husbands? We can talk later. My mother may be watching. (Just kidding, mom)

That era seems long ago or was it yesterday?
