My year supply of Food Storage

Our church encourages us to store food, water, and funds for a rainy day.(here is some of my year supply of canned goods, my wheat grinder and bread making supplies (thanks Marcinelle and Andrew!)

"We encourage members world-wide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings..."

(this closet is full of things that are in boxes and bags and tupperware, somewhat random food)

I became somewhat obsessed with obtaining a year supply of food for our family and I was able to do so. I spent this morning re-organizing our food storage so that it was out of our back room where Aimi Lark is now sleeping. I filled two of our small hall closets and the one big closet in the back room. I know it may not look very organized but I am so excited about the progress I was able to make by myself with two "helpers."
(here is my wheat, drinking water (we have 55gal drums in our outside storage), and bags of other things from out LDS cannery... and even a kite :) I now just need to put the closet doors back on this closet

  5. You are awesome!!!! I have started saving for when we get back to the states so I can do that. It's so hard not having it here and trusting that we will be alright if something happens.
    Thanks for being such a great example!

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
