Foodie Pen pal and a good day...

So my training went as follows yesterday; Get up, take kids to school, go to honors program, come home, fold mountains of clothes, pick kids up, gymnastics, enjoy my dinner, and now you guys!

TRAINING WHERE ARE YOU? OMG I am so on it next week. It was one of those days you want to crawl back in bed and start over...but enough about that.

Today is a new and wonderful day:)

I will be thankful today for things like my husband, my 3 kids, life, waking up in the morning, chocolate, legs for running, my parents, chocolate, 0to26point fans, oh and did I mention chocolate. Well because I had such a bad great day, I was so excited to be able to show you what I got a couple of  weeks ago in the mail...

A box? No not just a box, my Foodie Penpal box. FANTASTIC SURPRISE!

A little about Foodie Penpal. It was thought by one of my favorite bloggers Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean. She is fabulous you should definitely follow her. Basically it involves having a penpal across the U.S. somewhere that you are paired with and you contact them and find out what type of person they are and what type of food they may want to receive from you. My penpal is Marnie of Journey for life, Journey for tri and she is in Washington, so she knew the south was known for spicy food and dark chocolate, So I sent her some marinade, creole seasoning, some snack for fueling during her Ironman training, yeah Ironman CRAZY COOL! oh and of course some dark chocolate (we connected):)  I was the awesome Penpal recipient of the fabulous Shannon of A Wise Bitterness, and she sent me all of these wonderful goodies...

and a Happy Birthday card. YAY! it means a lot that she recognized my birthday! I have to admit though that there was a milk chocolate bar in there that didn't make it past the opening of the box! lol. Did I mentioned before that I was thankful for chocolate?

Yes? I thought so!

HEEHEE!

What was in the box, you ask? OK

Bear Naked granola, my absolute favorite Vanilla almond, YUM.

El Rancho Flaxseed tortilla chips

4 Think Thin Protein bars chocolate fudge, creamy peanut butter, chunky peanut butter, and brownie crunch.

2 Usana nutrition bars

3 Organo pre-brewed coffee

3 caramels from her trip from Germany, yeah SOOO GOOD!

Bessingers Naturals pretzels covered with peanut butter and chocolate

Oh and the "missing" chocolate, shhhhh...
