Day 3-Your first love

Well this one is going to be fun.....UGH!
I had one boyfriend in high school that I dated for 3+ years.  He was one year ahead of me and so when he graduated, he went into the Army and then was stationed in Korea for my entire Senior year (which totally sucked!).
I was only 17 at the time and didn't know how to handle long distance relationships and frankly...I really sucked at it.  I would have good intentions to send care packages, but I wouldn't actually do it.  I did send letters almost everyday, but still...that's not always what someone overseas wants from their loved ones back home.  When he got to come home, I realized how different we were.  He was "grown up" and In the Army now (LOL!), and I was still a 17 year old high school senior.  So I decided it was time to part.
But it's awesome now because he's married, I'm married; he has 2 adorable little boys, and I have Kali now.  So it all worked out in the end.
But I can honestly say that he was my first true love and I will sometimes think about what my life would be like if I stayed with him (he and his wife are currently in NY where it snows and is -14 degrees.  Now, I wanna see snow...but I DO NOT want to live in NY.  So it's all good).

And thanks to Facebook, I get to keep in contact with he and his wife.  So that's pretty awesome! :)

Geez 30 day Challenge...way to break out the HARD questions right off the bat! =)
