Joy

Joseph and I are going to Indiana to buy my ring tomorrow.  

I'm beyond ecstatic, at the place where joy completely eclipses happiness. 

"Some of the pictures of Father Christmas in our world make him look only funny and jolly.  But now that the children actually stood looking at him they didn't find it quite like that.  He was so big, and so glad, and so real, that they all became quite still.  They felt very glad, but also solemn...
And Lucy felt running through her that deep shiver of gladness which you only get if you are being solemn and still."  
~The Chronicles of Narnia, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."



We're really doing it.  I've never had a doubt, not since the day I met him.
