Well, here is the first of many blogs to come.

It was May 2002 and I was 25 years old. I had just moved from Richmond, Virginia to Woodridge, Illinois, which is where my parents were living and I was moving back in with them.  I had only visited the Chicago area and was pretty excited to be living there now. The only problem was I didn't want to explore it on my own. I took a leap of faith and posted on a dating site letting people know that I was "looking for someone to show me around town" No, really! I really wanted someone to show me around this amazing city ~ And NOTHING more~
Well you guessed it. A month after moving to Illinois I had started talking to Scott. First it was over the computer, then phone calls and finally after a month of doing that we decided to meet. I should have known something special was going to come out of this. The day that I was to meet Scott, my mom had taken me to a very upscale salon  (Mario Tricoci) and I had gotten my hair cut, highlights (for the first time mind you) and had someone else do my make up. I was pretty confident I was looking pretty good that night. So I met Scott at a TGI Friday. Not the most glamorous first dates, but if you know Scott you know he is pretty low key. We started talking like we had known each other for a long time.  We got together the next day for another date and the rest was history!
