[Jackie07]

I always wanted to have a boy friend in my teens so we could 'grow up' together. But none of the boys I grew up with or met in college worked out (I was too tall, too loud, and with too much pimples on my face...) Eventually I met hubby when I was 27 and he was 30. The funny part is that we felt so comfortable with each other when we first met - it's like "I can't believer there is someone as naive as me" - we were like two little kids and we felt like we'd known each other all our lives.

I am the baby of the family of 3 boys and 3 girls - my Oldest Sister is the oldest child. He is the baby of the family of 2 boys and 1 girl - his older Sister is the oldest one. His birthday was only 4 days behind that of my Third Brother. And they are the same build-up, both athletical and witty. Both of our fathers are World War II veterans. My Father fought the Japanese army in the Burma-India border. His Father fought the German troops in the Battle of the Bulge. My Father-in-law became a teacher and then principal. My Father retired a colonel and then became a teacher and principal...
