The Story of Us


I publicly apologize to Michele, once again, for stealing her idea. I sat down to write and got a bit of a block. In the interest of getting creative juices flowing, I thought I would tell everyone the somewhat long story of how Scott and I got together.

Scott and I met at church. I started going to this church right before I graduated from college. We chatted and became friends. We were also in the same Sunday school class. My mother, being very perceptive, had Scott's number all along. I denied this, saying that I was way too young for him to be interested in me. Ha ha, right?

According to Scott's side of the story, right before he could ask me out I started seeing someone. I ended up dating this person for 2 years. At the end of this particular relationship, I was getting advice from Scott. Being the gentleman he is, he never encouraged me to break up with the guy. A few weeks later, we had a mutual break-up.

Prompted by my sweet mother who kept telling me that he "had the hots for me," I fed Scott a total line. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was about to premiere. A made a big to-do about not having anyone to go see it with. He quickly solved that problem. That became our first date. We saw the movie and went to dinner. I can still remember the electricity that ran through me when he took my hand during the movie.

So that's how we met and started dating.

We dated for a year and a half and got engaged. 8 months later we got married. We've been together for 6 happy years. Marrying Scott is one of the best things that's ever happened to me and I look forward to every new day because of him.

Lindsay, this made me feel that warm feeling...so romantic that he was there, waiting for you all that time. You and Scott are a love to last through the ages, just like Doug and I. I'm so glad to know you!

Lindsay left out the we didn't pay much attention to the movie because we were so excited about our fist date. A few months later we went back to see it again and we were like "I don't remember that from the first time."

Michele, thank you for the compliment. I also enjoy your blog.
