the epitome of dorkiness:

I am, at heart, a romantic. I don't let many people (actually never anyone really) see this side of me, and have just started showing it to Alex.

I texted him last night at 9:01 my time (midnight his) with "I wanted to be the first to wish you Merry Christmas, and I hope this is the start of many together. I love you and hope you know how much you mean to me."

He just texted me back with "I'm in Rye so service sucks. If you get this I love you very much and merry Christmas."

It's amazing how one little text can make your day.
