curtis spear and hannah titus are engaged to be married. i never expected that this would be the road i would take, but i could not be happier.
on a freezing night in november curtis asked me to marry him. it was absolutely perfect in every way.
on a regular wednesday curtis, chandler, tanner, and i were just supposed to be going to big jud's for dinner.
when we were driving to dinner we all saw a christmas tree farm on the side of the highway. i pleaded with curtis that we stop and take a couple pictures by the trees. while walking to the middle of the field i saw four trees stringed with white lights, four trees covered in pictures of us, and a blanket. this was it.
i knew what was happening, but could not register what was going on. before i could react, curtis was down on one knee telling me he loved me and asking if i would marry him. i do not remember saying yes or even him putting the ring on my finger. i was so shocked.
before i could even gather my thoughts, all our friends popped out from behind trees and hugged us.
my reaction was not what i expected. i thought i would be crying or freaking out in some way, but i wasn't. i just couldn't handle what was happening. it was the BEST DAY EVER.
getting engaged is kind of like your birthday. you think you will feel totally different after, but you don't. me and curt's relationship is still the same. and that's what i like about it, because i wouldn't change one thing.

curtis and i met in kind of a weird way >>> sometime in october of last year curtis added me and a couple of my friends on twitter. we all thought this was kind of weird, because we had never met him before.
one night in november my friend ashley and i were at this communication senior showcase when we saw curtis at a booth. it was love at first sight. JUST KIDDING it was far from it. we went up to him and awkwardly asked how he knew us. curtis told us that he met me at a party last spring (which was definitely a lie).
i had heard a couple of things about curtis in my past semester, but didn't really know who he was. i did , however, know that he was different in some way. i was not interested in him yet, but i could tell he would be sticking around for awhile.
over the winter i was at home and curt was working in rexburg. we talked alittle bit on and off, but nothing serious.
when i came back for spring curtis waited a long time before asking me out, waiting until his birthday in may to actually do it. we went to the drive ins together and i saw him every single day after that. i was lucky that i never had to deal with the "3 days" rule, because we both knew it was something after the first date.
through out spring semester we continued to date. we became boyfriend & girlfriend, said i love you, and even talked about marriage all within two and a half months. everything was timed perfectly for us and it was some of the happiest times of my life.
over the seven week break i went home and we had to do long distance for awhile. this is really when we seriously talked about getting married and i officially decided i was not going to europe next spring. it was hard to be apart, but so good for our relationship.
picking up right where we left off, fall has been a blast. curtis and i get the privilege of spending every day together. curtis met my family and i get to spend thanksgiving with his. things have never been better.
i am beyond lucky that i get to spend the rest of forever with my best friend.
