Trip to Texas (We're ENGAGED!!)

[Date: May 11, 2013]

I took Spencer home to meet my parents.

We'd talked about getting married, so I figured my parents should at least meet the guy before we got engaged. I really couldn't wait for them to meet him and for him to meet my folks! I was also super excited to show him around Copperas Cove and for him to see all the places that meant the most to me and held my favorite memories of growing up.

Along with all this memory lane business that we had planned, we planned on seeing Iron Man 3, picking some strawberries with my parents, and having a little photoshoot with Amanda (so that our first pictures together weren't from our engagement session). So here are some of the best photos from that day.

 I thought we were just taking some normal, couple-y pictures.

 Spencer had something else in mind.

 You might say he was a little nervous.

 You might also say I was a little bit clueless.

 After finishing in one spot, Spencer said he had an idea for that location. I was worried. With good reason. "You're going to stand right here...

 "...and I'm going to pull this out of my pocket...

 "Kristen, will you marry me?"

Oh yeah, I said "YES!"

He was happy.

I was happy.

We were just a bit happy together.

I look like a giddy teenage girl.

I love him.

And he loves me.

And so we decided to get married.
