I can safely say that these 6 kiddos were easily the loves of my life too. :) I fostered 6 puppies and 1 mommy in 2007!
How to find the love of my life, and for me to be the love of his life, too
It made me
ecstatic 
"I'm blessed that my best friend is the love of my life, and my husband for over twelve years."
How I did it: Finding the man I would marry wasn't something I expected to happen only weeks after graduation. But at a friend's eighteenth birthday party, that's exactly what happened.
We attended the same high school; we were both in marching band (clarinet for him; flag corps for me) and even danced together in the musical our senior year. But we never really knew each other, partially because a fall birthday made him a year behind me in school.
But at the party, away from the dynamics and drama of high school, we got to know a new side of each other. By the time I started college, we were dating. And by his senior prom, we knew we would be married one day.
Most high school romances don't last; we knew that. But we were best friends long before he graduated. Even after he moved an hour away for college, we kept it up. We spent as much of our free time together as we could manage. Sure, we spent time with our friends and had our own hobbies, but we most enjoyed spending time together, even just watching a movie or reading books.
Almost three years after we started dating, we were engaged: on my twenty-first birthday. Two years later, exactly one week before my twenty-third, we were married.
And twelve years later, we are still unbelievably happy. We've had rough times, with deaths in our families, financial difficulties, and grueling school schedules for us both. But it's more than worth it.

I have been with my boyfriend for 2 months, and he is paying for the U-haul to move me up to New York to live with him! People say that you will know when you meet that “one,” and I used to think those people were just being fake and too “lovey dovey,” but it’s so true. I know we will have our issues, but we have gotten to know each other via constant email, phone, Google Talk, random weekend visits, etc. Now all I need to do is get a job when I get there, and I think we will be set (hopefully.) It’s something that people probably don’t believe me about, but they will see. I just pray that the rest of our days will be as wonderful as the past two months have been. We love each other very much, and our love has continued and, hopefully, will continue over the years.

So I feel like I have found someone that has the potential to be the love of my life, but I worry so much sometimes about it. I consider myself a very intuitive person, so I can easily sense a change in someone’s attitude, even over text message. I am just hoping that these feelings do not take over me too much and allow me to accept that sometimes people just want to be left alone and that it has nothing to do with me.
I am a firm beleiver that loving someone comes easily and I know from experience that the second I have to change my core being to be happy with someone, I am already moving in the wrong direction. With the man I am dealing with now, I feel comfortable being myself and I feel a deep bond, but I don’t want to come on too strong too soon. I am fighting so hard not to look needy (which I am not, but I can see how one could get being needy and really liking someone confused). I am just going to be patient, give him space, and be kind as always. If it’s meant to be, it will be.
