Love + "That" Clause

Hi!

Would you ever say something like, "I love that I'm planning something so worthwhile"? Could "love" take a that-clause? I saw an example, and I felt really uneasy with it.

I feel uneasy with these constructions, too. But people use them all the time, at least in casual conversation. I love that, I love it that, I love when, I love it when, I love how, I love it how These are all used.
