Bet you are wondering what in the world this is, huh?!? Well, a couple weeks ago I went with Amanda and her church to Indianapolis where her church has a food storage facility. You can purchase food and can it there and they also use it as a warehouse for food they donate. See, the LDS Church teaches members to store food for emergency preparedness. In a perfect world everyone would have one year's worth. In case of a natural disaster, loss of a job, etc. You would know your family could at least eat! This isn't realistic for everyone due to space and financial restrictions, but like a said, in a perfect world... I got 35 #10 cans full of oats, rice, beans, spaghetti, onion, carrots, apples, dried milk, rice, sugar and flour (all dry of course) for $135! Not only is it an amazing bargain - but about 90% of it will last up to 30 years in the cans! I am excited to start our food storage and would encourage everyone to do the same. You don't have to start so big, just a few extra items at the groceery each week, or you can use some of the resources of the Mormon Church...I'll try to get some links up for that. I always enjoy my time with Amanda's Church, thanks for another fun day - and possibly saving our lives someday by providing the opportunity to get all this food - I can't wait to add to it!

Good for you! We have one planned for June. Look at my blog at the fun with fod storage button, it's a really neat website.
Well, you have such a good start and so much room for it! It was such a fun day and we will have to do it again. I always have fun with you no matter what we do. So put us together canning some dry food, now that equals loads of fun! :)
Thank you so much for leaving all of your wonderful comments on our blog! You are the only one that will ever do it! You seem to be incredibly happy - as always :) You have made such a wonderful life for yourself. 2 babies, a new house...I want to be you when I decide to be a grownup! We love you and miss you so much!
