Lovely Weekend...

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start! I've had a great couple of weeks...partially due to the fact that my sister Amanda from Boone, and my brother-in-law Mike was in town from Texas...it's always a fun and fantastic time when they're around...love those guys!!! (Can't wait for you both to visit again! Miss ya already!....we can have ice cream sundaes again when both, or either one of you guys, come back)

My weekend was full of some fun as well...starting with a date my husband Brad took me on....went to a lovely restaurant called Firebirds, where I know have my first official "favorite" meal! It was fantastic!!! He surprised me with a summer dress from a boutique and the night ended with a movie.

Brad, Sara, Leia (our puppy) and I also went to the Luis Palau Heartland Festival. A Christian festival, it had family-fun activities like characters from Veggie Tales, motorcycle and bike stuntmen, food tents, inflatable games, HUGE christian concerts, and tons of other fun stuff....not to mention the awesome Luis Palau....who gave inspirational messages to the hundred thousand people who attended.

To round out the last couple days, I now am the official owner of a new Apple Mac Book (my other lap top died...well, not quite dead yet...but it's definatly on life support...and dying quickly) Always a PC lover, my husband has converted me to the Apple...we'll see how it goes (as it is all a little bit foreign to me right now!) :0)

New happenings at The Chocolate Season, I'll be catering a beautiful bridal shower, hosted by a good friend, Ally Strobel, this week. She's requested a very delicious array of desserts and appetizers, and I can't wait to make her bright, beautiful cupcakes, with Italian buttercream frosting...mmmm....so light and airy...perfect!

Can't wait to blog again, and feel free to drop me a line regarding the new shopping cart options, like gift certificates, wish lists, and the ability to read and review products!

Have a great week!
