today i am grateful that we do all our banking with usaa. we ordered new checks in february but never got them. we called them back in march and they explained that they had received them back for some reason so the representative reordered them for us and had them sent to us free, two day rush delivery. when they got to us however, part of our address was wrong and we noticed that she had charged us for the shipping. this morning i called and chatted with a nice lady named stacy who reordered the checks for us, read me the address to verify it was correct a few times AND she refunded us the original cost of the checks since they had messed up twice. She also reversed the charge that we had had for the shipping the last time, and she made sure not to charge us for the shipping this time. in two business days (or quite possibly tomorrow, since USAA rocks) we will have our new FREE checks that have a byu logo on them! it's been a pain not having the new checks since our old checks are really just chris's old checks so they only have his name on them which makes it a little hard for me to pay some of the bills/rent/tithing etc. it will be nice to have these checks with my name on them too!

today i'm grateful for costco. without costco i wouldn't have access to the beauty of tillamook cheese. and lets confess, i LOVE tillamook cheese. it reminds me of home. it makes me miss tillamook yogurt though.
