Brandon and I had planned to go out to dinner, so naturally when he got there I was ready to go. We began driving and after 15 minutes of driving I was confused because dinner was only supposed to be about 3 minutes away. I questioned him and he told me we were going to dinner at a restaurant on the other side of Mt. Lassen. We continued to drive through one of my favorite places. We winded up the hill talking about all of the awesome times we have had up there and as we came to Lake Helen, he reminded me that's where we stopped on our first trip together for a picnic. He pointed out that we should stop and take a replica picture of our first picture together. We stopped and walked up to that special little spot where we had our first pre-hike picnic. We parked, everything looked the same as it had that first day. As we walked toward the lake we noticed someone had made a huge heart out of about 50 large rocks right next to our spot. It was perfect! He said Dest, I love you so much. I know you probably saw this coming, but I can't imagine living without you, and as he pulled out the perfect princess cut diamond ring in a platinum prong setting and white gold band that i'd always wanted: he said Will you marry me? Of course I screamed and said absolutely! We hugged and kissed for quite a while and as he slipped the ring on my finger we turned around and saw a breathtaking sunset. It was perfect.
