Chocolate Bread

It’s been awhile since I have talked about how precious my boyfriend, Stephen is, so I figured we were due for a Stephen Story. At work the other day, we trained some teachers on how to use bread makers to incorporate literacy, math, science, etc. into their classrooms. So from the training, we had leftover chocolate bread, and I took some to Stephen with cream cheese frosting. Later, I received a text that said, “Um, can I order some of that bread with the thing in it…? It was the bomb…!” (The 'thing' was cream cheese frosting sandwiched between the bread) Ok, you may not think that was adorable, but I do.
