What? SNOW

Yep, we have over a foot of snow and are expected to have up to 20 inches more through tonight. It's crazy!! The high is going to be 28 degrees, when just two days ago we were in the 50's. Not fair, but I know that the moisture is good.

72 Hour Kits

For family home evening the last month and a half we have been working on our 72 hour kits. In February we got our back packs and a couple of odds and ends. Then we worked on finding what we needed to put in our kits. One night we organized what we had, another one we budgeted what we needed to get and figured out how much we could afford each month to get our 72 hour, first aid, sanitation, and family kits together. Last night we put our first aid kits together and was marking them. We found a great deal on hand warmers at Sam's club. A box of 32 for $8.00. Which makes it less than 25 cents a piece. Usually the run anywhere from $1-1.50 each. We got some sweatshirts on clearance for $5 bucks. It was fun. Next week, we are going to gather and copy all important documents- wedding license, birth certificates, Dr. phone numbers, credit card information and numbers. And emergency contact numbers. It was suggested on the Government Emergency website that you put your name, address, phone number, and Dr information on the inside lid of your first aid kit. And to also make copies of your documents. That will be next weeks lesson. We have each week scheduled out for about 3 months. It feels good to be working on becoming better prepared. We need to work on our water supply.

How Funny!

So yesterday, I had to sing a solo in Sacrament and Mom and Dad Funk, were going to come listen and support me. Well, they didn't show up. We were worried at first that something might have happened to them. After Sacrament we went home and there they were waiting for us. They forgot that it was Daylight savings time. It was pretty funny!!! Then after we had lunch. Matt and I wanted to drive them by a house we have been eyeing for about a year, so we went and stopped. It didn't look like anyone was living there, so we went and looked in the backyard and Arla started peeking through the back door window and all of the sudden, she said oops, someone is sitting in there. It was funny!!! I started laughing. I made Matt go and knock on the door to see if we could take a peek inside. At first no one answered and Mom Funk said, well maybe it was a dummy or a doll, then someone opened the door. They were very gracious and let us look at the home. It was funny!!! It's a beautiful home, hopefully one of these days we will be able to get it.
