new years eve we had a small peck on the lips.. and later when everyone's home he played me a guitar song and moved me to tears, he asked if i could be his girlfriend soooo....... yay! finally im in love with someone who loves me back as equally much. it really is hard "...waiting for a love like this" :)

the facebook status thing was the next step in going public and it is kinda scary, being my first time to list being in a relationship and not knowing how to go about it. i log in too often to find out what people would comment and felt reaaaaally good to have people liking the changed relationship status and commenting congratulations. it is heartwarming to see random acquaintances feeling happy for me, celebrating my happiness even though they do not have to care.

and those who didnt like the status, shame on you!!!! why!!!?!?!?!!! so approve or not approve??

and on new years day, our first day of couplehood-- even though we're pretty much together before he popped the question-- was spent filming raphael's video for his friend matthew.

sandbank at the jetty!

that was a really hot day... can't wait to see the video even though i look awful in the footage raph took!

later in the evening my mum called and asked me to skype rather urgently. turns out my family's at my mum's side family reunion and my cousin owns an iphone4 that allows my mum to skype...

family preparing cake for the january babies

my mum carrying the youngest january baby there, which is CHLOE!!! :D

chloe looking happily up into my mum's eyes that cutie!

it can be said that now i have fireworks on my anniversary day and that the monthly anniversary day would be hard to miss and forget as suds claim that first day of the month would be easier to remember.

my first day into this new year has been good, surrounded by love. ♥
