Julie and I had been going out for 3 years. We had always planned on living in the same place after graduation and it just so happened that we both landed jobs in Fresno, CA. I always knew, ever since we started dating, that Julie and I would be together forever. After graduation in May we went to look for apartments in California during the first week of June. While there we decided to do some site seeing. On our last day in California we decided to climb a mountain in Sequoia National Park. I knew that this would be the perfect time to propose. I had brought the ring with me the day we climbed the mountain. When we reached the top, after a 3 mile hike, I set up the camera on time delay. Julie, who is afraid of heights didn’t think she’d be able to make it to the top, but with some persuasion from me she finally did. The camera went off right as she made it to the top and I got down on one knee and pulled out the ring and asked her that very important question, “will you marry me?”. She definitely forgot she was afraid of heights and started jumping up and down on top of the mountain. It was perfect and we have the picture to prove it!
