Mitchell and ileana first met when they both worked at Field and Stream together. If you ask Mitchell he knew who I was before I really knew who he was. As for my side of the story it all started when Mitchell would leave the fishing department and come over to outerwear to talk to the apparel girl. After a few jokes about being hungry I offered to go and get him lunch when I left work, he turned that offer down a few times and insisted that he was joking and didn't need me to get him food. About a week later and lots of Facebook messages later he sent me a message asking me out to dinner instead of lunch. Little did I know he wanted to take me out for the first time on valentines day. Unfortunately that didn't work out but we ended going on our first date a few weeks later on February 22nd 2019. On that night we met at Chili's and spent about 5 hours talking and laughing about all the crazy antics Mitchell was telling me about that night. At the end of our date I remember my first thought being if we end up together my life would never be boring ever again. After that we spent most of our time together, almost daily, until Mitchell finally asked me to be his girlfriend on December 14th 2019. Just a few short months after that we Mitchell asked me to move in with him and his parents for "2 weeks" of the lockdown so we could spend some time together..... Well we all know how that ended. Over a year living together with his parents, a house of our very own, another dog and one of the best days of my life. On October 2nd 2022 Mitchell asked me one of the most important questions of my life and it was met with the easiest "Absolutely!" of my life. We can't wait to spend our most special day with each and every one of you!
