What is love to you? Love to me is lending your jean jacket to your love when she is cold, which my guy does! And the best part is that he doesn’t mind if I put a pin or two on it! Keep your love strong, be kind, take a moment to believe that everything is going as planned, and spread the love.

The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

Romance
Maria had just left the fortune teller’s shop when a dashing young man stopped her on the street.
With the words of Madame Travina ringing in her ears”Romance and passion are waiting for you just outside the door!”, Maria boldly grabbed the stranger and kissed him. As he grabbed her waist, and kissed her back she thought Madame Travina was right, she was romantically swept off her feet with passion!
Originally Joseph (the dashing young stranger) had stopped Maria just to ask her for directions, oddly enough to Madame Travina’s shop. As he found himself kissing Maria, he thought he wasn’t in that much of a hurry, and kissing was always a good thing!

Enjoy what you do! ~Christen
