In October of my freshman year at Liberty University, I and Kayla (one of my best friends) agreed to attend the River Church Truck and Treat in order to complete a class assignment. After getting lost for 15 minutes as we tried to find the church we finally made it and went straight to work. I was completely invested in packing gifts for the truck owners and Curtis walked up to me and said: "Do you know why you are here?" "For the Trunk and Treat?" I stated questionably. He quickly corrected me making sure I knew it was "Truck" and not "Trunk". Which made sense considering I was packing gift pails full of car washing equipment. The night went on and nothing was said until we were tearing down for the evening. Curtis graciously asked to walk me to my car which was 2 blocks away. We talked awkwardly and went on with our nights. And then... My group message full of band friends went crazy. One of our friends sent a screenshot from LU Crushes specifically mentioning my name and the event I attend. I liked and commented and 12 hours later a cute boy had sent me a Facebook friend request. To say the rest is history is as true as it gets.

For the spring break of my Junior year at Liberty, Curtis and I took a trip to Costa Rica to visit his family. On that trip, we traveled from one end of the country to the next. While planning our portion of the trip in Monte Verde, Costa Rica, we decided to take a detour before ziplining to see the view of Volcan Arenal. We all hopped out of the car and began to gaze at the view. Will standing there amazed Curtis pushed me to the side got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I obviously said "yes", but not without a sarcastic comment of course.
