Brooke really didn't want to get dirty and play in mud, so she almost skipped the 4th of July team.
Brooke asked Mitch if he could drive because she wasn't sure if he had a license.
We actually aren't sure when we started dating, so we just picked July 18th because we both like that number.
Meeting Brooke's family was easy but Brooke lost her bikini bottoms the first time she met Mitch's parents.
Mitch got Brooke a plant for Valentine's Day because he doesn't like cut flowers but she wanted flowers. Brooke made Mitch a sock bouquet for Valentine's Day all in the shape of roses.
We don't remember how it happened the first time, but Mitch told Brooke that he fell in love and knew this was forever when we were on vacation in Croatia, dancing to a random local band in the city streets of Dubrovnik.
Mitch had to go to China a week after we moved in, and found a new puppy for us while he was away. He originally told Brooke that it was 16mths old, but when he came home the dog was actually 4mths! That's how we got Brandon.
We had tickets to the Civic Center, so we went to sushi first (our 1st date spot!) Then driving home, Mitch INSISTED we open one gift before Christmas. Brooke was adamant that they shouldn't until she saw a tiny box on the counter, surrounded with soft lighting. "Okay, maybe just one present will be fine."
