By the time you hit 30, you figure that you certainly know what you're looking for in your ideal mate, but let's be honest, you still figure you'll have to settle to a certain extent. Well, it turns out I was wrong. Not only is Scott everything I've ever wanted, he's a million things I didn't know I wanted until I met him .................................

Here's my synopsis of our first four dates ... Date 1 ... dinner at Incognito in Fox Lake - This is the first time I heard Scott's famous saying "On that happy note". This was to indicate he'd had enough of my company for one night ... Date 2 ... Las Palmas Mexican restaurant - This is where we spent most of the night talking about how we love efficiency. *what losers* ... Date 3 ... dinner at Popeye's (not the fast food chicken) - We did spend endless hours talking, while I developed hypothermia ... Date 4 ... hiking down at starved rock - This is where Scott learned of my utterly impressive driving skills, and we both learned we had the same sick sense of humor *Stable Mable* ...............

The rest is history in the making : )
