Shannon woke up expecting to do her favorite hike up Mt. Lassen, but didn’t expect the surprise at the peak. Logan had been planning this day for well over a year. He had the ring, the speech written, and a family friend ready to climb Mt. Lassen ahead of them to take photos of them at the top. It was a beautiful day: the sun was shining, the weather was calm, and butterflies fluttered all over the mountain side. After three hours of hiking on dirt and some snow, Logan and Shannon arrived at the peak of Mt. Lassen, where they found their photographer waiting. Shannon was surprised to see their friend at the peak, but thought it was normal to see friends on the trail despite them being three hours drive from home. With Shannon oblivious to what was actually occurring, Logan started his speech, at which point Shannon immediately realized just what was happening and zoned out so hard that she missed most of what he said. She did catch the last words though, "Shannon Morgan Adams, will you marry me?" She said yes with a huge smile on her face and kissed him, with the camera clicking away. They felt on top of the world as they looked out at the amazing view, all the while actually standing on top of the world. As they hiked back down the mountain, they looked forward to their new beginning and the future they will have together.
