Definitely a hoya!  I'm so glad yours bloomed for you.  My husband
promised he'd rehang my hoya in front of the living room window, so
it can get more sun and hopefully bloom.  It will be much easier to reach
too, so it will get more frequent feeding.  My grandmother had one on
her back sunporch with vines at least 10' long, and at the tip of each
flower was a drop of very sweet nectar.  My brother and sister and I used
to fight over who got to taste it.
