The day Scott 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.  Mayra (our mutual friend and the person we owe our lives to) and I had planned days before to see the movie What Women Want on 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 from Mayra 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 Scott 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 to eat dinner.  When they asked smoking or non and he answered non, he passed another test.  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.

Friday afternoon December 15th, Mayra, a good friend of mine, called me at work asking me if I wanted to go to the movies that night with some friends of hers. Jokingly I asked her, "Are any of them cute?". She said, "Well, actually there is one of my friends that works at the Studios that is going and she's cute." So I decided to go and meet them at the movies at 9:00 p.m. Mayra actually met me outside the theater so the others could save us seats. I met up with Mayra and we proceeded into the movie theater. This is where I first set my eyes on a beautiful woman (Lindy) that had her blonde hair pulled back with her cute little glasses on. Mayra sat down next to Lindy then I sat next to Mayra. Mayra then introduced me. We both said "hi" to each other and politely shook hands. The very first thing that I really noticed about her was her smile. She has a smile that can brighten any room. After that introduction that's all we spoke the rest of the night. Oddly enough, the movie we watched was "What Women Want". During the movie I could hear her cute little giggles. For some reason I just new she was a really nice person. After the movie we all walked our separate ways, except Mayra and I. I walked with Mayra to the parking lot, she asked me what I thought of Lindy. I said that she was cute and I would really like to go out on a date with her. Mayra said that she'll give her a call to see what she thinks about me. The next day I received the call from Mayra saying that Lindy wouldn't mind going out on a date with me. So after I got Lindy's pager number, I paged her. When she returned my page, I asked her if she'd like to go out sometime to get a bite to eat. We made a date for December 20th at 7:30 p.m. I was so nervous when this day finally came. I went to pick her up, coincidentally her apartment was right across the street from Celebration (the community I lived in at the time). After I arrived and she opened the door, I was mesmerized. She had her hair down this time and that big smile of hers was overwhelming. I also noticed that she had the most amazing blue eyes. I still remember what she was wearing, a purple glittery sweater and black pants. She just looked simply amazing. I sat down in her living room getting to know her dog, Hannah, while she continued getting ready. While I was sitting there, I just kept saying "Wow!" to myself and wondering how I was so lucky going out on a date with her. From the minute we got into my car and started talking, I knew there was something there. During our dinner at Bennigan's, there was none of that awkward silence. We did a lot of talking and laughing. We saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things. I truly know what "chemistry" is all about now. The dinner was quickly coming to an end, but I didn't want it to, so I asked Lindy if she wanted to go see a movie. She accepted and we went to see Charlie's Angels. I figured since she wanted to continue the date she thought things were going well too. After the movie, I took her home and told her that I hope I made it to a second date. She said for me to call her. The next day at work, all I could talk about is that I found "her". Just after that first date I knew that Lindy was "the one". I had already thought that I could spend the rest of my life with this person. So, I made it to a second date, third date, and on our fourth we had our 1st kiss. Already at this stage I wanted to tell her that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. From this moment on there was only one or two times that we have missed a day without seeing or at least talking to each other. She is the most precious, thoughtful, wonderful, intelligent, and beautiful thing to come into my life. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her. I have to give a very special "THANK YOU" to Mayra for bringing our lives together.
