for any of you who know me, you know how important love is in my life.  for those of you don't, well, now you know that love has a very big role in the way i go about things, the way i live, and my views on life in general.  i have been in love before and it was a great love.  one that i miss more on somedays than on others.  its taken me a long while to get to the point where i am at with it today, but ive grown up a lot in the mean time and my perspective on love has changed as well.  i do know more of what i want in a partner in life though and i do know more of what i want in a husband.  so someday, we will see if that will be found in someone new or if it can be found and grown from the past love.  i know that the answer to that can only be figured out in time, but i'm willing to wait, because i know it will be worth it.

thats another things im going to be writing about as well in this new little blog of mine.  i came across this lovely blog called "the wild and wily ways of a brunette bombshell" in which she writes about her life in new york city.  she also writes these little letters to her future husband she hasn't met yet.  some people might think thats a little bit odd, but i think that thats so neat and romantic almost.  i love that idea.  maybe i'll start doing that too. we'll see.

i wanted to share with you some quotes of love that i've found that hold some sort of meaning to me, or have struck me in some way.  i hope you can enjoy them too.  the first quote i'm sharing is one that especially holds a lot of meaning to me because I have felt exactly this before. i adore this quote, and the book it comes from.
