storage and things

i've been poking around with a new look for the blog for a couple days now, not quite getting the look i wanted.  so i decided to keep it simple and just create my own header.  i'm very pleased with it!

happy president's day!  hope we get a better one soon :)  john and i spent the day together.  ran a few errands and began collecting for our very own food storage.  we live in a state that has multiple resources for mass storage, built in home cold cellars and a section in most grocery stores of bulk or freeze dried items.  john and i have never really taken advantage of this, our home does not have a large cement room to store hefty quantities of food, but we decided we should be better prepared just in case something (any number of things) happens to go wrong.  we have total faith that the Lord will provide if there is ever a natural or economic disaster - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be smart with the resources we have and be ready to provide for our family if need be.  so in our little space under the stairs, buckets of rice and oats and many more things are starting to stack.  cool!

i have discovered 'words with friends'.  slightly addicting.

john and i sat in on a youth sunday school class that is studying biblical womanhood and manhood.  we were asked to come, as a young married couple, to chime in and answer questions and such.  it was good.  convicting.  always a little comical to see what the Lord has to teach me over and over.  it was so neat to see these kids be excited and knowledgeable about God's will for our lives.  looking forward to another week!

weight watchers has been hard.  bad week last week.  hopefully a better one to come :)
