Happy Valentine's Day!
Well, it's that time again--to celebrate love and closeness and the joys of a soulmate. I thought I'd do something a little bit different, a little out of the ordinary. Candy and roses are nice, but seemed so cliche that I wanted to put together a present that wouldnt wilt or make the girl fat. So may I present to you, the world, my valentine's gift to the woman I love. (Be patient after you click the heart... it might take a minute or two to load depending on your connection speed)
May I also say that she is most undoubtedly the one I want to spend my life with, loving and learning together. Her eyes captiva... well, I'll save the sappy remarks for an audience of one... but to all I'll say:

aw....that was so romantic and sweet! No doubt in my mind that Jessica will love it, totally better then chocolate or flowers and you didn't have to wrap it up and put it in a box with a pretty ribbon, something sentimental that you both can look back on. Every guy should do something beautiful like that for his girl at least once.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace,
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

While I have heard that not offering candy may be taken as a hint about weight by those girls who use the minimal of brain cells :), that is a beautiful gift--for all of us. Wow. For a moment I abandoned my intense Valentine's Day bitternes and enjoyed the beauty that is possible. Thanks.
