Operation: MRS.... Phase complete:

It has finally happened and I can now talk about it... Dan and Joy are engaged. Dan came to me three or so weeks ago and told me that he was going to purpose to Joy on October 6th, their 1 year anniversary. He wrote lyrics to a song and wanted me to write music for him to be able to play it on the guitar. So we walked and talked about the song and about his plan, etc. We got back to my room and I pulled out a nice and simple progression in E that fit perfectly with his words.... so at 8:30ish in Intro to Soc., after the break, the prof called Joy up as a “volunteer”, sat her on a stool, and blindfolded her. Then Dan came in with a guitar and played his song for Joy, then pulled out the ring, got on one knee and asked her to marry him... it was beautiful.

If either of you guys are reading this,

Congratulations Joy and Dan. God has blessed and brought two of the wierdest people on earth together to make a combination that baffles me, but it works so well. Dan, treat her right... I know you will. Joy, love Dan and cherish him for who he is. You are about to begin a journey which I haven’t a clue about... good luck! In the words of The Lord of The Eagles in JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit, “Farewell where ever you fare, may we meet again at the journey’s end.”
