1. Where did you meet?
- Technically?? My friend, Emily, and Scott's son Bryan, set Scott & I up on our first date. We talked on the phone for quite a while. He had me laughing so hard! I knew I wanted to meet him! We planned a day, time & place to meet. Then he asked me, "What do we do? Do we do a drive-by, see if the other person is ugly & then leave if they are?" I said, "Fine by me!" Then the day before our date he called and said, "I don't need to do a drive-by anymore. Your friend, Emily, e-mailed me pictures of you, and I think you are beautiful." I responded with, "Well what if I think YOU'RE ugly!? I still need to do my drive-by!" The day of our date comes around....a man walks into the bank where I work...looks around and then B-LINES it to my desk! I give this scowl like "Who are you? And what are you needing from me?" ...... when this man extends his hand to shake mine and says, while shaking my hand, "Consider this your drive-by"...then he turned and walked out. Not another word! I was completely stunned!! THAT MAN STOLE MY HEART IN THAT MOMENT!! So.....technically the first time I met him was at my office.
