Food Storage

Yup, I started mine.

About a year ago I had the thought "You need to get your food storage together," followed by "What the heck?" I didn't start it just then because I was planning on going on a mission followed by graduate school -- really unrealistic time for building food storage. And I was single and 21. My parents have a good amount of food storage so I thought if something happens I'll just move home.

Time came and went and I never went to grad school or on a mission. It is kind of bizarre how things work out, against our own will but at the right time and place. I never saw my self still in Alamosa a year later but here I am. And there is no time like the present.

So, $160 later just on the staples - I've got a good amount started.

... but where to keep it? Everything says "Keep in a cool, dry place." I can do dry. But cool? In my house? uh.... Where am I supposed to keep it then...? I'm just going to have to make sure and keep it rotated since the cool part isn't really an option.

I'm so excited though! And definitely so lucky to be at a point in my life, so early in life, where I am able to accomplish and follow this commandment.
