from me to we.

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.

one of my favorite weekends took place in one of my (new) favorite places. i officially got to check it off my bucket list. six of us made the small journey to jackson hole, wy for the weekend. we thought we needed to take advantage of the wonderful fall weather & before we got too lazy to leave the house.

driving the hour and a half to jackson hole was one of the prettiest drives i've ever seen. idaho/wyoming has so many beautiful mountains & trees that it made me want to move here for a second (just a second). 

jackson hole is the cutest little town with shops, bakeries, taverns, & park. everything was cabin themed with a string of lights & has anthers mounted to them. it made me want to cowboy boots & go hunting. 

saturday we had the opportunity to go to grand teton national park. we payed to get in & were able to see yellow stone, jackson lake, & jenny lake. i have never seen a better view than when we pulled over to the side of the road to see jackson lake. we also went a little ways into yellow stone park. the road to old faithful was closed, but we were able to see a lot of geysers that were pretty impressive.

i wanted to stay their forever, but thank you for the amazing weekend, JACKSON!

my brother & sister n law recently had a baby (piper gray), so my parents flew to utah for a week. last friday curtis, tanner, chan, & i spent the weekend with my whole family in provo. 

when we got there the four of us went out to dinner with my parents. it was great for them to actually meet curtis, so they didn't think i was just making him up. 

saturday we went to this fall fair thing called cornbelly's with the family. then just hung out at the house with everyone. the baby nieces warmed up to tanner & curtis pretty fast. my niece kate sneezed on curtis twice, so i don't know how she felt about him. we also celebrated six peoples' birthdays in my family, so we had six cakes. it was awesome. 

on sunday little piper was blessed, we had dinner, & were on our way back to rexburg. it was such a nice weekend with my favorite people.

i had the opportunity to go to bear lake for a second time this past weekend and it was the best! it was halloweekend so about 18 of us headed to a friend's cabin right by bear lake. it was super pretty with the changing leaves and blue lake. we played games, carved pumpkins, rode the razor, went off roading, and had the best shakes. it was so fun! [me & curt were robbers by the way]

S I D E  N O T E: my baby sister got engaged!!! by baby, i mean twin sister, got engaged to one of my best friends tanner holmes. they had been dating for almost a year and finally decided to tie the knot. wednesday evening all of our close friends went to the dunes to hide and set off fireworks after tanner asked for her hand. things didn't go according to plan, but it was perfect! it was so fun to see it all happen. i love them so much & i am so happy for them!
