Here is my valentine:
I love this smile. It is elusive and difficult to photograph, but it's worth the effort. I captured this rare shot when we were dating. I had been trying all evening to get a picture of him smiling, but to no avail. At some point, I made him laugh, and I saw my opportunity--I grabbed my camera and snapped a photo. It's a little off-center, but no matter. Still totally cute.
I don't always get how his mind works, but it's usually entertaining. Check out this blog post from 2005. And it's probably been too long since you revisted the awesomeness of his proposal, Parts 1, 2, and 3.
A year or two ago, he bought me a 1925 edition of H.D.'s Collected Poems from a bookstore in Salt Lake. He knew I was writing my thesis about H.D. but couldn't remember anything except that she was a woman poet who went by initials. He and the employees were trying to figure out who they were looking for, trying out random pairs of initials, when luckily a customer happened to walk by and gave them the magic combination. And then he found me an awesome old book and brought it home as a surprise. What a sweetheart.
Love you, babe.
P.S. If the sappiness is all too much for you to handle, here is an unconventional love poem. (Not for the faint of heart!)

I'm glad you are so happy. Glad you could find a smile. We've been looking for 27 years. He's always been hard to photograph for smile sakes. He's a serious thinker, and doesn't want to draw undue attention to himself. You married into quirky brains. Sorry..... :)
Even as a young child he was always well behaved, and never acting out like other kids his age. He would observe them, but not follow their examples.In 2nd grade the teachers called him Mr. Science. The other years they called him polite, very well behaved, and good looking. I didn't know these were academic terms? :0 K-8 he always won Student of the Month or Star Student either in Sept. or Oct. You could count on it, because the others were acting up or just plain rude.
Enjoy the uniqueness of your hubby. We love you both.
Yup - that is quite the smile! You are so sweet to him. Sorry he is gone for the love day.
Happy Valentines day to you! Where are you now anyways?
Such a cute post! Jon tends to have one of those smiles too... Very fun though when they are caught! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
