Meet DH (Aw, high school sweethearts! Though we broke up for a few years during and after college.)

I am amazed at how many in the first part of the post lost their virginity after starting college. I felt super bad then, so I was happy at least I didn't get drunk until midway through college :P
I too was a bad kid...oops. Smartened up in college though.

Ah, that was fun to look back on. A few of life's little events were crammed together, but not because they were planned that way. Like graduating college, finding out 2 weeks later I got a real job after searching for months, and a week later buying a car because mine died. Then there was the "short" sale situation with our house so we ended up closing 10 days before our wedding.
