a chapter in the life of chan.: November 2014

So I'm ENGAGED.
I can not believe it happened yesterday! I <<CANNOT>> believe we are finally engaged! I love Tanner so much that it seems too good to be true!

So Wednesday was uneventful. I had work, and usual and the start of a cold.
Tanner had work until 5pm and I had a school meeting at 6pm so we were going to meet up to hang out for an hour.
He picked me up wearing my favorite shirt of his, the pineapple shirt. He also said he had a gift for me but he wanted me to open it at the dunes.

What?! Tanner, come on I have a meeting in 45 minutes we are not going to make it back in time!
I thought he was not thinking straight, that he had not planned ahead.

We got to the dunes and he made us walk to our spot where so many other things had happened.

The dunes is where we held hands for the first time.
Where we kissed for the first time.
And where we decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

We get to the spot and I still <<CLUELESS>> and not gonna lie, mad.
I had sand in my shoes, I was cold because I wasn't prepared for this, and I was late for my meeting.

We stood in our spot and he gave me a book he made on shutterfly of our first year together.
I was blown away at this sweet book!
But I was still being a brat, asking if we can leave so I can make it to my meeting. He said no, that we were not done yet.
At this point I still was so clueless and more confused then ever.

Then Tanner made eye contact with me and started to get down on his knee. He pulled out a sign from beneath the sand of the dunes that said "Will You Marry Me Chan? -Tan"
I freaked.

I had <<NO>> idea this was going to happen today! Tanner told me the day before that he had not even talked to the jeweler yet. But apparently he had the ring the <<ENTIRE>> semester.

Anyways. He said "I don't really know what to say so Will You Marry Me Chandler Titus?"

I do not remember saying yes (I hope I said yes!) it was such a blur! I was soooooo surprised.
He then put the ring on my finger and we were engaged.

Tanner's friend from home Hanna Christian and her husband Sam appeared from the bushes taking pictures and videos. Hanna has a photography business, Blush Creative, that is amazing. She is so talented.

We walked back to the street while videos of us were still being taken. Still shocked, a truck full of my best friends drives up with fireworks shooting out of the back! Apparently everyone knew he was going to propose this random Wednesday afternoon and had planned on coming at the end of the proposal.
We all hugged and lit off fireworks in the street.

Most of them had been there from the very beginning of our relationship so it was special for them to be there.
After shooting off fireworks, hugging and showing off the ring, we went back to my apartment to have a little celebration.

The <<SHOCK>> still has not wore off, I don't know when it will. But I love my ring. I love his proposal.
And I love my boyfriend turned fiance.
