Plans were made to go out to eat for Josalyn's mom's birthday @ 4:00pm sharp . That was the cut off time for Mitchell to be done deer hunting. What do ya know, his friend got the deer and he had to help him retrieve the trophy. Josalyn told Mitchell to not even come to the dinner because he wasn't there already. On Tony, Melissa and Josalyn's way to dinner one of their friend's needed a jump. Josalyn's step-dad, Tony, couldn't refuse a friend in need so on their way they stopped on the island in PDC. Josalyn and Melissa were doing some exploring while Tony helped with the jump. Melissa noticed that the Historical Eagle View Building was open and there was a light flickering in there and wanted Josalyn to check it out. Melissa opened the door and there he was! Mitchell, down on one knee with an isle of rose pedals and tea lights to light Josalyn's way to him! Family and friends were around to share all the happy tears of the future MR. and MRS. Benda
Mitchell was late, like hours late! (surprise, surprise) Josalyn was waiting at the boat landing for Mitchell and their good friend Matt who had introduced the couple. An hour passed and no word from Mitchell. Josalyn thought she was stood up! She called Mitchell and what do ya know, no answer. Another hour went by and finally Matt and Mitchell were pulling their boat back to the dock! The boat's motor had broken and the boys paddled themselves back to get Mitchell to his first date with Josalyn! Yup, Josalyn felt like a brat but after a few jet-ski rides and a lot of laughs Josalyn knew she couldn't wait for their next date together!
