  93. When Scott and I go shopping for furniture, without fail we pick the most expensive item in the store.
  94. Scott and I always share a drink when we go out to eat; we probably shouldn’t so we just make sure the waiter isn’t watching when we take a drink!

  100. Most of all, I love Scott and Scott loves me. Always have Always will.
I know this is kinda long, but hopefully fun for some people to read, and eventually fun for our posterity!

Scott, I love you forever for always no matter what!!! Loves
