Be Prepared!

For a value project, Alex decided to put together 72 hour kits for our family, in case of an emergency. She made a list of supplies, then I bought them, and she assembled. Easy so far, but the hardest part still loomed large in my mind: where to find an easily accessible place to store 6 big backpacks??

Yesterday I found a spot and recruited James to help me clear out the chosen shelf above our crawl space. The good news, and the major upside to this whole project, is that after clearing out that shelf, James didn't stop until we had cleaned up and re-organized our entire crawl space. This was a project that has been weighing on my mind for a while - and I didn't even have to ask him to do it! It was like a dream come true.

Now I have a year's supply and 72 hour kits - we are such a righteous family. So righteous in fact that for dinner tonight I made the Mormon dish of choice - a casserole! It even contains a "cream of" soup. I wonder if anyone will eat it - or even know what it is.
