Let’s go to Lake Michigan for an AWESOME love story today. Mitchell and Breanne had been friends for two years before a mutual friend recently nudged them to consider dating. On April 12, the two decided to visit a local beach to search for unique Leland blue stones. What they didn’t expect was a dramatic brush with danger—and a milestone moment in their relationship. As they walked along the shore, Breanne pointed to a spot by the water and warned, “That looks really dangerous.” Mitchell misread her cue and stepped directly onto it. Within seconds, he was waist-deep in quicksand. He was really stuck, and she was panicking. After struggling with weak phone service, both managed to contact 911. And in a moment of levity amid the chaos, Mitchell referred to Breanne as his girlfriend for the first time, and Breanne was on another line, saying, “My boyfriend is here, stuck in the sand.” That was the first time for her, too. When the Universe has to intervene to bring two people together, THAT’S AWESOME.
