"Can I share your locker?"

Well Jennifer and I hit it off very well. She asked me one day , "Can I put my stuff in your locker?" I was a senior and the senior got lockers and then the juniors got any leftover ones. I moved some stuff out and made room for her stuff. I actually put a bunch of my stuff into my backpack so she could have room. We went everywhere together. I can't tell you how many times we went to the LA County fair in Pomona. Eileen, Sheelah's sister used to get us in for free. We never really went on any rides. We just walked around and hung out.
I'm not sure how soon after we had started dating that I met her parents, Delbert and Lois Clark. I didn't know if they would like me or not. They were very wonderful and welcoming people. They made me feel right at home. Lois was worried that I was too skinny and always invited me to stay for dinner. I stayed and had dinner with the Clarks.
We officially had started dating in September and in November we started talking about marriage. It was actually her idea. I think she said something to the effect that we should get married. Without a moments hesitation, I said yeah, that'd be cool or something. Around Christmas, I sold my guitar with an amp and some effects to buy her a ring. It was my first guitar and I know people say you should keep your first guitar or whatever, but this was way more important. We got engaged and were married on September 21st, 1985 exactly one year from when we started dating. I was 18 and she was a month shy of 17.
I had started working around April or May at Thrifty's while still in high school. I was also taking a residential wiring class though ROP in hopes of obtaining some type of job after high school. After high school, I continued to work at Thrifty's and then started working as Wendy's on my off days. I was just until I could find something full time. I thought if I didnt have one full time job, I could work two part time ones. You might think this sounds crazy, but that's what I did. After I hit 18, I moved out a began living in a room behind Jen's house until we got married. After we got married, we lived with Delbert and Lois for a few months and then moved into an apartment next door to Wendy's.
