Mitchell proposed in the backyard of our new home on June 25th, 2020. After he was "too tired" from our 2 month-old puppy to get drinks with friends, I returned home to a note taped to our front door that directed me to go around to the backyard. I opened the gate to find that Mitchell had transformed our 3-season porch with hanging lights, candles, music, and a table set for dinner (complete with a white-linen tablecloth). After a few moments, he popped out from the tree behind me in a full suit and got down on one knee. He even had "Paper Rings" by Taylor Swift playing for me. Our evening was filled with a wonderful dinner grilled by Mitchell, wine, and lots of smiles.
