The day Scotty and I first met the only conversation that we had was, “Hi” and “Nice to meet you.”  Although I must say that when I saw him walk into the movie theater I was definitely impressed, but I figured he was taken and probably too young for me.  I later found out that he was neither.  Megan (our mutual friend and the person we owe our lives to) and I had planned days before to see the movie What Women Wanton its opening night. She asked if we could wait for her friend and see the later show (for all those who know me that is something I don’t really like to do because I’m not much of a night person) and surprisingly I said yes.   Little did I know that would be the best decision I had ever made in my entire life.  After the movie was over I received a page (yes, I’m dating myself) from Megan asking me if she could give my number to her friend.  I said yes. I figured what would it hurt, if anything I could make a new friend.

December 20th. . . . date day. . .  When Scotty came and picked me up, Hannah (my puppy) greeted him, and as I finished getting ready I observed how he was with her and the way he treated her amazed me and she approved of him too.  He definitely passed the first test.  We then went to Bennigan’s (anyone remember this restaurant) to eat dinner.  When they asked smoking or non and he answered non, he passed another test. Can you believe we even had the option for smoking back then?!  At dinner I was so comfortable, it was as if we had known each other for a very long time.  We talked about our families and our lives.  I had never felt this way about anyone before and it was only the first date. We had only planned on going to dinner, but I could tell he thought the date was going well because he decided to ask me if I wanted to go to a movie.  I agreed and we went and saw the movie Charlie’s Angels.  After the movie we couldn’t find the car.  As we searched the parking lot, and we were laughing he gently took the back of my elbow, but I didn’t pull away like I normally did.  This just added more to my feeling that there was something there. We finally found the car and as we talked on the way home our conversation just naturally led to doing things in the future together.  In fact I surprised myself answering yes when he asked me if I wanted to go to California with him someday. I thought, I barely know this guy and I’m telling him I’ll go on a trip with him?!  But I knew then that this was the prince I had been waiting for, I just hoped that he felt the same way that I did.  As he dropped me off at home he asked if he could call me and I said “please do” (which I could’ve kicked myself later for saying it like that).  Now I just had to wait and see if I was the princess that he had been waiting for.
