They went out to eat because Cindy was hungry and then ended up going for a walk in the same park where they first met. They both felt a โ€œsparkโ€ that night. They texted for 2 weeks after that before meeting in person again. Then they went to a concert where we had our first kiss. Wild Buffalo House of Music in Bellingham, that was a Fleetmac Wood show.

Despite this being Mycoleโ€™s first lesbian relationship, her conservative republican family was very supportive. Mycole was scared to tell them and shocked by their nonchalant reactions. Their unconditional support showed her how much they love her. Cindy had been out since she was a teenager, so her family was very supportive and welcoming.

Cute nicknames of each other

Mycole call Cindy โ€œcinโ€ โ€œhoneyโ€ and โ€œbabe.โ€
Cinde has MANY for Mycole. She calls her โ€œprincess peachitaโ€ โ€œMeeksโ€ Meek Mills, and โ€œMeekoโ€.

Weird habits of each other

Mycole:
โ€œ – We groom each other like monkeys ๐Ÿต.โ€

The topic of the most often arguments

The tone of voice. Mycole very tones sensitive because of her childhood. So she often has to correct her tone and remind Mycole that she isnโ€™t trying to harm her – Mycole has PTSD so this is crucial.

Proposal by Mycole

Proposal

Mycole had been planning the proposal for over 6 months with best friend Krista. Mycole ordered the ring at the beginning of March, and then the Coronavirus shut down the production of her jeweler (Alexis Russell). She waited 3 months for the shop to reopen and finally send her the ring. Once Mycole had the ring, she and her best friends and a few of her friends coordinated the entire proposal down at the park where they first met and โ€œsparkedโ€.

On the day of the proposal, they went to dinner at the same restaurant where they first ate and then went to the park for a sunset walk. When they got to the spot where they โ€œsparkedโ€ all of their closest friends, as well as a huge crowd that had gathered to watch, was waiting for them.
