Stewart and I were both business majors at CSU Long Beach. We had met through a mutual friend (Thanks Ryan!) shortly after Stewart had graduated, and I was finishing up my last year. The rest is history!
For my birthday last year, Stewart suggested we travel to Hawaii! He bought me a new camera backpack and tripod for the vacation. Since I grew up on Oahu, I was absolutely looking forward to visiting the island again and even more excited to share my childhood hikes with Stewart. Koko Head was our last hike of the trip. Once we hiked to the top, we walked along the rim trail and witnessed beautiful island views. Stewart suggested that we set up our new tripod to take a photo. After testing out the camera angle and settings a couple times, I turned around on the third time and Stewart was on one knee! YES!
