D tries new things at Starbucks

During the end of my high school days and during college, I started drinking coffee. Well not coffee, but mochas which contain espresso. The taste of coffee didn't really excite me, however with a little or a lot of chocolate it made it quite tasty. I tend to be a creature of habit, but L likes to try new things. A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to try a different product when I went to Starbucks.** I tried a latte once, but I didn't think it had much flavor. However, I thought that if I got a flavored latte, maybe it would be what I was looking for. I tried a vanilla latte, and really liked it. I also felt a little more mature as well being that mochas are for young people. Tonight, however, while L and I were deciding which latte we wanted, we decided on a cinnamon dolce latte, however the store ran out of the regular flavor and only had it in sugar free. So I decided to go crazy and try a totally different item. I tried a Caramel Macchiato, it was fantastic.
If I never met L, I probably would be drinking mochas still because I would be unaware of the joy of new discoveries. I am grateful that L is in my life because I would not be nearly as happy without her.
**The reason why we've been going to Starbucks a lot more recently is because we have an influx of gift cards.
