indeed they do, but I don't mind it b/c everyone has gone the way I wanted it to...I always said I wanted to be engaged when I was like 23/24....I got engaged 4 days after my 23rd birthday and I'm getting married in july and I said I wanted to have kids when I was 26ish...I'll be 25 when we start trying for them so that might turn into 26 if I have a hard time getting pregant...so stuff has worked out...although I have to admit I wasn't trying to make it do so.
