Anyone have any ideas on how I could possibly fix this photo enough
to take peoples' mind off the fact that its so blurry? Maybe some
sort of Photoshop plugin?
I did try a center spot plugin and usm on the face only, but I'm not
to happy with it.
I'm just mad at myself cause of all the photos I took from behind glass,
this is the only one that turned out like it did...which of course, would
be the one I love the most.

One trick for blurry images, is to blur the background.
For this version, I adjusted the shadows and highlights, blurred the darkened background. I also sharpened the face.
Using layer masks, I combined the dark blurry image with the sharped one, and masked out the face.
I can't say that it looks significantly sharper, but I think the seeing the entire face helps.

I used smart sharpen in Photoshop. Reducing motion blur between munus 30 to 60 degrees seems to work. I also reduced lens blur on the dark part of the face. It seems that darker areas can be sharpened more aggressively.
I finished by reducing the color noise introduced by the sharpening and by lightening the face.
Frankly, sharpening may degrade quality too much. You might be happier with the original.

jclguru,
actually, it's not all that blurry. i've seen a lot worse. i simply doubled the image size first, then ran a sharpen more followed by a jpeg artifact reducer at high 15. seemed fine. took about 3 minutes.

Used Unshake default setting first and FocusMagic @ 2px after.
Shadow mask @ Screen 72%.
Masked back the background from the base layer.
