Virtual Journal Entry: What brought me to the bench.
My girlfriend planned an amazing day for me. I went to school, then had a job interview. I was so stressed and she reassured me the entire way through. After the interview I picked her up and she got ready a bag and a blanket. We went to Phipps and took in the amazing views of the perfect flowers. After she took out the bag full of treats and sandwiches for us to eat on the blanket for a little picnic. We ate together laughing and looking off at the view. Laying next to each other staring into each others eyes. After the beautiful picnic we took a little walk to the ginormous library. Where she’s been wanting to go for so long. After the library we got ice cream and are now sitting on this bench. It’s been such an amazing day and I can’t wait until I can marry her.
