my wonderful, wonderful, wonderful girlfriend hiked with me to the top of third burroughs mountain in Rainier National Park. After reaching the summit - 7,800 feet, almost 2,200 feet of climbing to get there - she made me a cup of tea as we picnicked at the top, and then recited After the Winter to me and presented me with a ring.
I said yes.
It was the best day of my life.
