when its not so great to have food storage

I have been one of those people that think that food storage is a great idea, but when it comes down to the actually having it part I fall short, well that is until my friend Jennie started a easy weekly guide for buying food storage (that I actually knew how to use). So I stock piled and splurged on some things, and skimped on others, but when it came down to doing it I was really doing great, so great in fact that I felt like our little family just might be alright for a little bit if we had a emergency situation.

I loved the idea of having back up things in the pantry that I used all the time, and when I ran out of flour I just pulled some from the ol' food storage, and replaced it the next time I went to the store, or the next time after that, whatever it didn't matter I was covered. I liked the idea of all of that and more until...I had to start packing it up to move. Geeze there sure is a lot of stuff, WAAAY more stuff than I remember ever having in there. Ick! As if packing weren't the worst anyways, now I have doubled the amount of stuff in the kitchen, and tacked on a new need for more boxes. You may be wondering why I am telling you this, it is because of this that I am on the computer and my packing is at a standstill...I ran out of boxes. Blast. I guess that means that I will be making an extra stop in at the store tonight. Sometimes I really just don't love those extra store stops. Not even for the love of food storage.

We are so proud of you and James. Way to be obedient and get your food storage. I'm sure that when it has a home of it's own, you too will be very happy that you have it. And if you need any extra boxes your dad has a bunch in the garage in anticipation of Jonathan moving out. We love you, have a great week.

I hate packing. I and I really hate running out of boxes in the middle of packing. I can't wait to see more pictures of the new house!!

I am glad you have some food storage, but it really is a pain to move it. Hopefully it will only have to be moved once then you have it and are ready for any emergency!

I'd love to get on your friend Jennie's weekly guide for food storage. I'm still not where I want to be on that. Do you have a copy of it or a brief summary you wouldn't mind sharing? Good luck on your packing. When we moved, Nate's job paid for it, so we hired packers. Money well spent. :)

I have worried about that same problem. Ryan and I have tons of cans of food and I don't want to move for that very reason! Just think though, you have a new house!!!

I know the feeling. Doug and I just moved into a new apartment. Who knew we had so much stuff. Good luck. I'm sending good thought your way.

Moving food storage is the only time that it's not a good thing. Other than that, way to go! Keep up the good work!
