An element of Surprise Indeed!

Some say that living together has taken the surprise element out of relationships. I agree to some degree. I thought i was the hardest person to surprise, apparenty not.

On a typical Sunday, he caught me off guard. On the afternoon of Sunday the 25 March 2007, my man busily transformed our apartment bathroom into a romantic haven and presented me with this...

I couldnt stop grinning (from ear to ear), i stood like a helpless baby. Later on i got to take my new precious pet out for the evening. We enjoyed a feast at the Meat and Wine Co. restaurant by Darling Harbour.

I wonder if being engaged is suppose to change things. It's this transition of having a gf-bf status to being referred as "fiance" before the "husband and wife" title. Am i suppose to now make really tasty, hearty home-cooked meals? (If they werent tasty before....) Really put some elbow grease in to it? Or really make an effort to clean and tidy the home? No more being lazy? skipping this or that to accumulate a towering-high laundry of clothes - for example... Since being together for so long, i think the emotional transition has already happened, long before our ring shopping expedition. This was just the next step in confirming (not so much for ourselves, but for everybody else around us) our partnership...Or just a little push and shove, to start the ball rolling, to set things into motion for more eventful things to come...

Stay tuned, until next time
