Emily's comment about people thinking it weird that I had a girlfriend reminded me of something I should've added to my earlier update:

Soon after Misty and I started dating (probably summer of '93), we were in teh mall and saw my uncle. I introduced him and my aunt to Misty, and we talked to him for a few minutes. As we walked away my wonderful uncle yells across the mall, "Scott, we're glad to know you're not gay!"

Misty still laughs about that. I love my family.
