Drew Scott:
1. I’m a health nut who likes to work out every day, but I am powerless when it comes to Yorkshire pudding, pizza and ice cream.
2. My mom didn’t know she was having twins until right after Jonathan was born and I was on the way. She saved the best for last, four minutes later!
3. In my college basketball days, I had a 43-inch vertical jump, on par with Dr. J and LeBron James. Picture a tall, skinny, dorky guy doing laps with Jumpsoles on.
4. In high school I excelled at problem solving and calculating so much that I actually completed the various grades of math in just two weeks each.
5. I rarely drink alcohol, but when I do I order a dirty Shirley!

9. I can make a delicious lasagna.
10. I like my bedsheets cool and crisp.

14. We’ve even talked about handmaking our wedding invites and baking our own cake!
15. I dance (almost) every day with Linda for at least one song.
