I get asked SO MANY times how we met and how I knew he was the one...

So, I'm so excited to share our story!

In 2011, we played basketball together when I was a junior and he was a freshman. We actually played against each other on the court because he was the tallest boy and I was the tallest girl on our teams...

Little did he know, I secretly had a crush on him but I thought he was too young to date at the time. (Jokes on me!)

We both went out to Cadillac in the Stockyards and immediately made eye contact across the bar. (It's a real thing when you're the tallest people there!) To preface, the night we met, we were both not looking to find Mr. (or Mrs.) Right...

I was dancing with my friends when someone tapped me on the shoulder. Let me say, that the surprise on both of our faces was priceless because it had been so long (9 years!!) since we had seen each other. The boy that I had had a crush on YEARS ago had turned into a handsome man.

He asked me to dance, and of course, I said yes!

We QUICKLY learned that we both had two left feet. Laughing, we soon exited the dance floor and sat in the corner of the bar talking the entire night... Safe to say, we closed the bar down.

Before the night was even over, Mitchell asked me to go on a date with him the following Saturday!

The timing was funny, our first date happened when the snowpocalypse was rolling in... Without having to go to work, we had plenty of time to talk and get to know each other.

Our friends joked that we were moving quickly, but we had known each other for what felt like our whole lives! By the end of SNOVID, Mitchell asked me to be his girlfriend at our favorite restaurant, 1890,and I was thrilled.
