New Job!

I received the most wonderful call today telling me that I no longer have to work in the call center! It's a good department with great people, but not at all the job for me. Getting yelled over the phone at regularly and having to make conversation with strangers who do not want to talk to me are not two things that I enjoy doing. But now, I get to be a receptionist! This may not sound like much of a step up for most people, but I actually really enjoy being a receptionist. It's true, I love doing spreadsheets and paperwork and having little projects to do. I'll still be working for Tahitian Noni, which is good, because they really are a great company. I highly recommend working with TNI to anyone, because they take great care of their employees.  I start at the receptionist position tomorrow and will be working in their American Fork warehouse. The people I've met over there so far seem very nice, and I'm excited to get started. Hopefully my days of dreading going to work will be over.

Spring has Sprung

For our most recent project/FHE activity, Ben and I decided to get some plants. Luckily, we have a small balcony, so that leaves us open to quite a few possibilities. We decided to go simple--some flowers and a few herbs. After wandering around Home Depot for well over an hour, we landed on four different types of flowers (including one I've always wanted to have--snap dragons). Ben's only request was that we get some white ones. We found a nice planter box and this is the result:

We also took home basil, rosemary and dill, which are probably our favorites to cook with. I used some of the dill in dinner tonight, and it was pretty delicious.

We were going to try tomatoes too, but we decided to try that once we've had success with these plants (not to mention a bit more money, since gardening is expensive--I won't even tell you what we spent today). We do have an abundance of potting soil, so if anyone in the area needs some, please take ours.
