Aah, L'amore

It's a yes or no question ladies. And believe me, just because he says it doesn't make it true. We all know the adage "Actions speak louder than words," well when it come to love it's definitely true. Being in a semi-permanent state of blissful couple-dom with my current BF, I figured i would pose this question. Is it love? Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to decipher some foreign code to figure out the answer. Here's how I knew it was love.

I love to sing! Morning, noon, and night I can be found letting a song come out of my heart. So when at Six Flags a few weeks ago with my BF I was bound to let one go. While sitting in front of a frozen lemonade stand with a line full of people, I randomly burst into the "Different Strokes" theme song. While this would make most men slink back in embarrassment, my BF shockingly asked, "Are you seriously singing Different Strokes right now?" and proceeded to laugh his head off and give my knee a "you're so damn cute" squeeze.

A few months ago things were in constant state of turmoil and every time my guy was able to get me on the phone, I was soaking in a nice hot bubble bath. One night he was able to pull me away from my tub and when I got to his place he grabbed my purse, set me down in the kitchen, turned on the TV, handed me the remote and told me he was making me dinner. He makes awesome spaghetti, so I was overjoyed. He made the 30 minute trek across town to his place more than worth it. He also presented me with a candle for my bathroom, so I could enjoy my nightly ritual of bubble baths, even more.

There are countless instances in my head when my guy has gone above and beyond the call of duty. I take care of him and he, in turn, takes care of me. That's how I know it's love.
