Trying to be Productive

So...I'm pretty bored at the moment so I thought I'd add another little post. The area that Adam is working in this week and last week has been in Pennsylvania, which is like an hour and a half away. They all haven't gotten licenses for Maryland of DC yet so they've been having to go that far. Usually he's been getting home about 10:30, but tonight it's like 11:15 now and probably won't be home for another 30 minutes. It was for a good reason though. He was in the middle of getting a sale! Also today they had an incentive for whoever got the last sale, which was Adam. He gets an extra $100 from his manager too..so i guess it's okay he's late :)

Anyways, today was my first day of work at the Gap! I love my managers. The two main ones are boys probably in their thirties that aren't married, but they are SOOO nice. I already feel pretty comfortable being around them. Another exciting thing is I got offered ANOTHER job! I had an interview at Victoria's secret too while looking for a job and they called me a few days after I got the job at Gap and offered me a position, so I took it! I definitely won't have a problem keeping busy. I'm really excited to work at both places. I get 50% off at the Gap and Banana Republic plus 25% at Old Navy too. I guess this could be a good AND a bad thing for me :) I'm not sure what the discount is at Victoria's Secret yet. I don't start until Sunday. I told them I wasn't available to work that day, but it's the best day for most of the other people for the orientation. It's right during our church so I guess I won't be going this Sunday. Since I new I wasn't going to be going to church I decided to go to the temple by myself one afternoon this week. It was only my second time even being in that temple so I was pretty happy i found my way around ok. Speaking of the temple...I couldn't believe how pretty the ground around it looks right now. They have TONS of tulips blooming everywhere. I took some pictures but it looked ten times better in person. I could have sat there gazing at it all afternoon!

There were three huge circles of tulips in the middle

This is the view coming out from the temple

Well off to another topic! I have come to really enjoy cooking. (I really shouldn't be surprised looking at my grandmother, mother, and sister) I've had a lot of time on my hands lately and have tried a lot of new things! I've made nearly everything from scratch. I like having a nice dinner made for Adam when he gets home late cause it will kind of give him something to look forward to after a long day and he is usually starving. I try to help out every way I can to take the stress away because I know he is working so hard and I am so proud of him. He's starting out better than he did last year. One of the things I made was last Sunday. I'd been craving a key lime pie for a long time and i found a recipe in one of my cookbooks. It had meringue on it. I have never made meringue before and i've never actually paid attention to how it was even made. I was pretty amazed that 3 egg whites turned into this huge bowl of fluff! Anywho...here's a picture :) The inside was lime green...i thought it turned our pretty!
Adam approved and had two pieces the first time around :) It was pretty and it tasted good :)
