We met at a high school softball game, where a mutual friend of ours introduced us and we thought nothing of it. We carried on hanging out as friends throughout the summer. It wasn't until the fall of that year where we realized our mutual feelings for each other and started dating in November.
We decided to meet in Bloomington, where Mitchell was going to college, to celebrate our 6th year anniversary. It wasn't until later in the weekend when Nicole figured out Mitchell had much bigger plans. Our day had consisted of doing many of the things Nicole loves: eating, trying new things, and spending time together. Mitchell surprised her by taking her to a significant location on their college campus. It was there that he had an explosion box reminiscing on our 6 years together. After looking through the box, he had one final surprise... the proposal.
