Pictures and Musings

I think this picture is so pretty..
Don't read this if you don't feel like being blinded by my affections.
Six Things I Love about Mike:
1. The small smile that starts to spread on his face when he learns something new and interesting. It's like something invisible sets into motion, and his eyes light up.
2. His nervous politeness when he's with my family. He becomes rigid and slightly awkward, but then he overcompensates with his earnestness, and it's adorable. He eventually gains his bearings and his hand gestures become very animated, and he always gazes very intently at whoever is speaking to him.
3. The loyalty and love he shows to his friends and family, especially his best friend, Joe (who I love!). It amazes me that he is willing to take such care of other people.. the level of selflessness is really astounding.
4. His completely lack of pretention and arrogance. He's one of those people who doesn't seem to have a problem with apologizing, which is very humbling.
5. I always say this, but I love his freckles.. they're all over his skin, and he even has them on his eyelids. They always remind me of the apricot-colored spots on a creamy-white seashell. His skin is heavenly, without exaggeration.. imagine someone pouring a pitcher of cream, as though you could somehow run your fingers along that arch of liquid suspended in air.
6. His voice. Something about it.. maybe the tone, or the depth. I love the way it sounds.
