As many of you all know, Mitch and his family are from New York and Katie and her family are from California. So how on earth did these two love birds meet? Mitch’s first Navy orders were in Fallon, Nevada at the Naval Air Station. Being from Corning, New York, Fallon seemed to him a complete nightmare at first. The change in scenery from the thick forest to the desert had to have been quite a shock to say the least. However, as he spent his time in Fallon he soon learned of and fell in love with the beautiful Lake Tahoe and Sierra Nevada mountains nearby. Meanwhile Katie was in nursing school in Reno and worked at a local college bar downtown. It was there at this bar when Mitch first laid eyes on Katie. Mitch knew he wanted to get her number that first time he saw her. At the end of the night, he helped Katie bus her tables before asking her out on a date. The rest as you know is history and from then on Mitch and Katie’s love for each continued to grow. That night changed thier lives forever.
