It's been three and a half years since I officially left the dating scene, and I can't say that I miss it all that much. Being married is the best thing that has ever happened to me, but every once in a while I'll think back on some of the highlights of the dating life. I got a call last week from my eligible brother-in-law asking for a favor. He wanted me to write a little "love note" for a girl that he wanted to ask out. I remember when Chris wrote me love notes when we were dating (he still does every once in a while) and boy that made me feel awesome. I was very excited to do this for Scottie, and he got pretty excited about it, too. Here's how it turned out: Thankfully Chris and my mother-in-law were around to help with the verbage. Let's be serious, I'm not good at being concise. To top it all off I made a scalloped envelope and sewed up the ends. I just love how sewing paper adds funkiness and formality of it all. If only I had some wax to seal it with. . . Scottie drove 35 miles each way to pick up the note, but it worked. They went on a date last night. What did they do? Etched glass. My brother-in-law's a stud. I think he learned that from his older brother. ;)
