Honestly, I don't really feel bad about the fact that I haven't written since the beginning of January. It's becoming very clear that 2013 is going to be a year of moving forward, and it's something that I'm embracing with open arms.
First of all, I got engaged! And, I feel that this is important to share here because it was actually food related. Leave it to Casey to help with that aspect! I got home from work, and I saw a box of chocolates sitting on the bar. This was no ordinary box of chocolates - I recognized the box immediately. It was from Chocolat du Monde - an amazing chocolate shop in the village. They literally fly in their chocolates from Belgium. My first thought was - Did Casey buy me an early Valentine's Day gift? It's February 12th, and we aren't really into the whole sappy V Day crap, so what is this all about? After all the curious questions, I opened the box, and the card was perfect. The ring was perfect. And of course, the chocolates were perfect. It took us all of 1 week to finish off $100 in chocolate. PLUS, it was great timing on his part. That night, we were already planning on going to a Mardi Gras party. So, we celebrated with an awesome party with amazing crawfish and Abita at BB's in the Heights!In the midst of all this, I've started a new job! I absolutely love it. I actually interveiwed for this job over 5 years ago. I applied again, and I've been working here for almost 3 months. The company is call Patrick Henry Creative Promotions. I work with restaurants to develop their beverage menus, and basically coordinate with the clients and partners to create awesome beverage promotions. We actually have a bar in our office, utilized by the very talented mixologists we have on staff. This job has been a dream come true, literally. And I'm thankful everyday for it.
