I Won!!

I follow a little blog called "Today's Letters" (on my link it's called Loerke Letters). Anyway, they are a fantastic couple who I have the privilege of knowing personally. I worked with Emily at WM. She really is one of the nicest people you will meet. We aren't BFF but I would occasionally have a little surprise from her on my desk. She is pure kindness people! Well, long story short they were giving away the suitcase above filled with GOODNESS. I tried to win coffee on their blog before and of course, I didn't win. I never win anything until now!! Doesn't it look fantastic! It is, and was...my 2 favorite things I think would be the granola (OMG, it's almost the best thing I've ever had) and well...why am I trying to choose 2? I've loved a lot of the things in here. Also, check out the Tuesday questions. Do. Them.

PS: The couple they are talking about on their blog today happen to be VERY good friends of mine. I love that little emck from the bottom of my heart. We've walked a lot of roads together and still do. Go check out their story and buy a t-shirt !! I can tell you one of the coolest things I remember from adoptive families I worked with was seeing their friends and family rally around them. How cool for people to show their support with t-shirts. I can't wait to see lots of pic's of ppl with them on. Parke may have tried mine on! 

So here is what was inside the suitcase:
