‘She makes me a better person’
March 11, 2024
When asked how he knew Tennille was the person Mitch wanted to spend the rest of his life with, he said it was kind of inexplicable. It was more a feeling he had than anything else, and there was never really a specific moment when he just knew.
And honestly, this speaks to who Tennille is. She is someone who is indescribable, and everyone who meets her figures out right off the bat that she is a special person.
For Mitch, his life changed forever when he met Tennille back in 2000. She was someone who brought him so much joy, and she still does. She is the love of his life and his true better half.
She also brings out the best in him. Mitch knows the husband, father and friend he is today is all because of Tennille. She has taught him so much and has been his complement.
“She keeps me grounded and in check,” he said.
Just being around Mitch makes him love harder and not take things for granted.
From their first date where they watched Bamboozled until now, Mitch has constantly been blown away. His wife has the greatest character of anyone he has ever known, and he is glad she took a chance on him.
He is also grateful for her being the best mother to Alexa (14) and Avery (12). Everything Tennille does and works for is for the good of their daughters, and when asked what makes her a tremendous mother, Mitch simply said, “Her caring heart.”
Obviously, there is so much more that goes into her being an outstanding mom, but her heart is not something to be overlooked. It is a big part of who Tennille is, and it is a big reason why so many people feel lucky to call her a friend.
In fact, Mitch said there is nothing that he does not admire about his wife. She is someone who you just look at and can tell she is one of the good ones.
“My favorite qualities are her taking care of the family and her fun and witty personality,” Mitch said. “She is special because she has put up with me for 23 years.”
Mitch met Tennille at work, and not a day goes by where he is not grateful he did. She is truly his everything, and she is someone who a lot of people look up to.
She is someone who is very selfless in her ways, and anyone she is close to is a direct beneficiary of her irreplaceable goodness.
“I admire her caring and giving personality,” Mitch said.
Without Tennille, Mitch would feel lost. They have so many great memories together (i.e. the tilapia incident and the birth of their daughters), and surely they will share many more for many decades to come.
“Without her I would be nothing.” – Mitch
