It was still winter in the mountains, and a beautiful spring day in the valley. I suggested to my girlfriend that we take a hike in the mountains that still had a bit of snow coverage on the beautiful day. We went up into the mountains and the setting was perfect, there was just enough snow for my plan to work. We continued to walk, holding hands an enjoying the day when I suggested we make snowmen. I suggested she make a female and I would make a male snowman. After we finished I said we should name them. I coerced her into naming her snowman “Mary” and I named mine “Will”. Then I said to her, ” It is so nice for the four of us to be here ‘Will, you, Mary, Me”. I said it again this time getting down on my knee holding out a ring. After she said yes and we hugged, she looked at me and said, “Oh, I get it!”
