promises

dove dark chocolates are one of my favorite things in this world. not only because they are so yummy, but because on the inside of each wrapper is a dove "promise message." i was first introduced to them junior year when my cross country coach brought us each a heart shaped chocolate at practice on valentines day. it is so great opening a small piece of delicious chocolate, and getting to not only enjoy it's taste but the happy little not posted on the inside. i've placed some of my favorites inside my quote book and have a whole bag full that have yet to make it there...
