Joy

I proposed to the most wonderful girl in the world last Friday! After class I took her out to central campus for a picnic in the beautiful full scenery. I was a bit nervous so I ended up stumbling my way through what was probably not the best planned proposal in the history of proposals. But once I was able to stutter out what I had prepared to say the look on her face quelled all of my worries and trepidations :) The three years I spent growing closer to her assured me that I wanted nothing else but to spend the rest of my life with her. Apparently she felt the same way, and said yes!! The look she gave me that day overwhelmed me with joy. It made me feel loved, accepted, and secure.

This experience was the highlight of my weekend! Definitely a pleasant one. It put me in a generally happy mood that lasted for several days and even things that would make me upset and nervous did not have as much of a lasting affect. The emotion I felt was joy and it was like a soft blanket wrapping me up; not too acute or intense but long lasting and comforting. The way she looked at me sparked the emotion
