Scott and Joi,

Congrats and Best Wishes to you both!

The IOU was great......it did seem a little unlike you, Scott, not to ‘plan’ that out, but made it very real! (and spontaneus).

A wonderful story, and very touching! 

so when’s the wedding?  Inviting the MTM community.....LOL

It’s important to know that at the end of the day it’s not the medals you remember.  What you remember is the process-- what you learn about yourself by challenging yourself, the experiences you share with other people, the honesty the training demands—those are things nobody can take away from you whether you finish last or you’re an Olympic Champion.

Scott and Joi - Congratulations! 

I think you both received everything you asked for from the universe.  Thanks for sharing your story. 

It’s been amazingly motivating for me to hear your comments as your relationship developed.  I have been applying them to my own relationship and it’s kept me focused and sane.  My normal (??? maybe a better term is previous) reactions to a good relationship with a wonderful, kind and caring person would be to find something wrong or a reason to break it.  This time, thanks in part from listening to your experience, I’m motivated and have the desire and the tools to work through my insecurities.  No engagement announcements here though, although in the future, who knows....

When’s the wedding?

Thank you ALL for your kind words and congratulations!

Joi is one of the sweetest, honest and most genuine people I have ever met and to attract her into my life is truly a blessing.  Although we’ve only know each other just over 6 months, there is no doubt we were supposed to find each other.  Our time spent together is effortless and timeless, it’s relaxing and exciting and both of us agree - we each provide the others “missing piece” and can’t imagine living without each other.  I guess that means it’s time to get married!

So… what’s to come?

Well, now that family, friends and the world of MTM on in on our little secret and so supportive, Joi and I can begin to plan our future.  There’s no rush and there are lots of decisions that need to be made as we merge our two worlds into one new, amazing journey.  One thing you can count on for sure?  I am one guy who will not let too much time pass, will make it special and romantic and will share the story with you guys.

Thanks again.

Congratulations Scott and Joi!!!

I’m catching up on MTM podcasts and was listening to the MTM show at work, so was all misty eyed just as my boss came up to ask me something.  I wasn’t surprised to hear that you two will be getting married.  Just wondering when.  The entire story including the paper IOU ring is so romantic.  I’m so happy for you both!!! Congratulations!!! smile

Hey - I thought I would share a couple of pictures from our vacation.  Here are Joi and her daughter Alayna, Joi and some guy on the beach, and the condo where MTM Episode 104 was recorded from the 22nd floor.

Congrats to you and Joi! You both deserve all the happiness that life brings your way.

I was glad that David and I got to meet Joi when she came out here and hope that we see you two again.
And hey, my husband and I knew each other only 3 months before we decided to get married and that was 15 years ago! Happiness is a great thing.
Have a wonderful relaxing vacation. The beach looks fantastic!

Congrats to Scott and Joi!!
Well, I am trying not to be a lurker anymore, and figured this would be the way to do it.  Scott, I am now listening to podcast 104 and your story.  All I have to say is “Why are you gonna make a GUY cry at work!!!” Glad no one is in my office at the moment. 
I know you two will have a blessed life.  And if I was still in Daytona, I would have dragged my cousin out and had him perform the ceremony!  Guess we’ll just have to wait!  Take care and God bless you all!

On Friday, when the podcast came out for us premium members, I was already emotional.  I’ve been having trouble exercising as much as I want to because of knee pain.  And I am very sensitive to how much exercise I get.  When I don’t get enough, I start to feel quite down. 

Anyway, I had decided to go for a walk even though my knees hurt on Friday.  I took off to the park, and I noticed a dark sky, but almost every afternoon it threatens rain here, so I didn’t think much of it.  I took off for my walk, listening to my podcast, and as Scott started to say that he had news to share, it started to sprinkle on me.  By the time he had gotten to the part about the napkin ring, the sky opened up and it was pouring rain on me.  And I was bawling.  Not just a little tear running down my face, but a full out cry, with my face srunched up and everything. 

Congrats, Scott and Joi.  Your story touched me greatly and I wish you both all the best.

A few episodes ago I asked myself, “when is he just going to ask her to marry him?”, well, this answers my question. Congratulations and best wishes to both of you. Man, two looming weddings on the horizon, huh Scott? smile Happy times!
