My hubby and I were the same ages when we got married, and 7 years later we're still pretty dang happy. Ignore other people. Sure, you've still got a lot of growing ahead of you, but as long as you communicate you guys can grow together.

@Latasha - You're right. I've been given so much grief over it but, I don't care. My husband and I laugh about it because we know that we are willing to work hard to stay together.
@Kristina - Yeah, we work hard everyday to talk things out and keep our relationship rolling. We just got out of our first relationship rut. We've been together for 5 years and finally hit one but, we stayed strong and didn't quit. He refuses to let me give up and I refuse to let him give up. We keep each other in check a lot.

2. I'm slightly pigeon-toed. It used to be much worse when I was younger and I had wear these butt ugly huge gray and white corrective shoes all during second and third grade.
3. Nursing runs in my family. My mother was an LPN, (Licenced Practical Nurse) and both me and my sister have worked as NAs (Nursing Assistants). I recently completed my courses to become an NAR (Nursing Assistant Registered) which is one step below a NAC (Nursing Assistant Certified), which is more time-consuming and costs a lot more to become. My first job as a nursing assistant was in my mother's Adult Family Home "Comfort Care" back in 1995.
4. If we are in a hurry and don't have the time to stop and browse, friends and family will automatically either steer me clear of any and all bookstores we come across or will cover my eyes as we walk past one if no other pathway is available at the time.
5. I am a recovering opiate addict with four years clean and serene. My new "drugs" are reading eBooks and browsing on Goodreads. Seriously, though, it's been a struggle but well worth it. I thank God every day that I made the choice to turn myself around. I went through two six month out-patient rehab programs because after the first was finished I didn't feel secure enough in my recovery so I looked in the phone books until I found another out-patient rehab program and started up with them for another six months. I did it for myself most of all, but also a big part part of getting help and getting and staying clean has to do with my family. I want my little niece and nephews to look back and remember their Aunt Ami as someone fun, caring and who loved them very much. Rather than their Aunt who didn't keep her promise to take them out for ice cream because she was too sick from withdrawals to get out of bed for a week.
