To my dear Elisandra Miller on Valentine's Day,
Looking back on the past couple of years, I remember all of the fun times that we've shared together, all of the memories that we've made together, and all of the laughs that we've had together. Whenever I see you, my heart jumps the same way it did when we first met. I know that our love will continue to grow for the rest of our lives, just as I know that I will always love you, Elisandra!
We've spent many hours together looking at the professional pictures that were taken at our wedding and at Disney World and for special occasions, but today I want to remind you of the other moments that we've shared together when it wasn't quite as formal.
Do you remember how cold it was in the Grand Canyon for our honeymoon? Beautiful scenery, but we definitely need to go back when it gets a little warmer.
One of the few places where a railing actually tried to prevent us from going over the cliff.
You have such a pretty smile.
I remember being a little scared when you jumped up on the railing. I was afraid that I was going to lose my new wife!
I don't know why we took a picture in front of a tree, but I guess we were just happy to be together.
Remember walking that trail between the hotels? That was really fun. Plus, we had a really delicious dinner at El Tovar.
I'm jealous of your skin complexion. As always, I got a little burned.

While our honeymoon in the Grand Canyon was fun, it was only the beginning of our adventures together. Perhaps you remember some of the fun that we had in the fall at our first house...
Leaves! Leaves! Piles of leaves!!
The only thing more fun than a big pile of leaves is an even bigger pile of leaves!
I spy...

After I dug you out of the pile of leaves, we had many other great adventures ahead of us. I remember going up the mountain and just having fun being with you.
I guess that I'm Brazilian and you're American now!
Look at that view overlooking Provo. So pretty.
I do have to say that we make a pretty great couple...even if I was worried that you weren't going to make it down the mountain. At least it all seemed to work out in the end.

Alright, safely home, I guess there were a couple other more mundane things that we needed to do...
Like scooter around the neighborhood!
And keep scootering!
I went to Best Buy...with my wife...and we had a great time...
But we had even more fun just being together at home.
And of course we had to hunt Pokemon together!
We even found one inside our house!!
I wonder if any Pokemon were in those hot air balloons. Such a fun morning with you and Lunna.

Have I mentioned that I really love you? Everything that we do together is fun and exciting.
It started to get cold again. Remember all the fun that we had up in Salt Lake.
It was pretty cold there. But I was happy to just be with you.
We even met some nice sister missionaries who took our picture.
And we made a snowman who was taller than us! Way to go!!
You know, I've always been impressed with how well you sew. You can do anything that you put your mind to. You really motivate me to do better.
And you made that skirt so well. It's so pretty on you.
You've also learned English so well since coming here. I'm really proud of you, Elisandra.

Ok, I guess I can't resist putting in a few wedding pictures. It was too special to forget!
I really like how we drove there together.
Awwwwwww...
Aren't we a cute couple.
Ok, moving on...moving on...
You're pregnant!! :) I didn't miss a single doctor's appointment. It was always so much fun to be there with you, and I'm glad that I was able to share all of those fun and important times with you.
And that was one of the first pictures of Oliver. How cute! More pictures from the hospital are here.

Well, honey, I just want to wish you a happy Valentine's day, and remind you of all of the amazing times that we've shared together. In case you've thought that this whole presentation was a little cheesy, I added a picture of each of us below to keep us grounded. Love you!
