Food Storage, really?



I have been wanting to do some kind of food storage for a long time, but I wasn't sure the best way for my family. There are dozens and dozens of different ways that you can do your food storage. I have been researching online and I even bought a few books from Deseret Book in the past six months. They all have very different approaches to food storage. Because I am in an apartment I would get discouraged about the storage space and just feel like it is impossible to do food storage right now. One day, when we have a house and more kids, then I will do my family's food storage. Well, the thought that I need to do it, kept nagging me. So, on and on I looked and finally figured out the best way to do it for my family. I first read the book, I Can't Believe It's Food Storage, which is really good and has some great recipes...that is if you have wheat and all the normal food storage stuff. Which I don't have. So, I read the book, It's in the Bag. Wow, never would have thought that you could do food storage that way. You basically put all the ingredients to make a meal in a bag and there you go it's ready for you, including enough water too. I really like this idea and so I am going to try it out. First, I am going to test out the recipes in the book to see if we like them. And get to work on our food storage. If any of you are overwhelmed by food storage like me, I could use the support and any ideas that you have. Thanks.

You are too funny. The bag idea sounds good to me. I am discouraged about a lot of things right now, food storage included...so you need to motivate me too. hehe

January 5th, 2009!

Cheryl Love Christopherson was born on 01-05-09, weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces, and 18 inches long. Happy Birthday, we love you! We went to the hospital at 2a.m. Monday morning to be induced for labor, they gave me Patocin to get it going...I was already dilated to 3 centimeters at that time. At around 11 or so I received the wonderful Epidural, Yeah! I still was not progressing, and next thing we knew Cheryl was not handling the contractions very well. They had to turn the Patocin off and turned the Epidural off...because I couldn't feel my legs at all. The doctor said if we don't progress and the contractions keep bugging the baby then we would have to do a C-section. Great! I thought...get this over with already....I don't care how! Well, I didn't have to have a C-section after all and by 5 p.m. I was finally in full dilation. Witch meant...Time to push, I pushed for 2 hours and there she was, a beautiful little girl at 7:18 p.m. What a long day, to say the least! Ther...

Boy or Girl?

Does anyone want to know if we are having a boy or girl? Well, I went to the Doctor on Tuesday, while Nathan was in Salt Lake working. They have the ultrasound technician there only on Tuesdays and there was no way that Nathan could be there because he goes to SLC every week for work. So, we didn't want to share the pictures from the ultrasound until Nathan saw them first. Then we had another appointment at the doctor's for a check up on Friday. I am gaining so much weight it is disgusting. Before I went to the first appointment, I gave our baby a pep talk...you know, to be photogenic and all that. Our baby did so good. Oh, I haven't said what we are having, have I!? Okay, no more stalling, boy oh boy, we are having a baby girl! We couldn't be happier, and now we can buy tons of pink. She is so active...keeping me up at night already. She really doesn't stop moving. So far, I think she takes after me...Nathan is so mellow and she is anything but that right now. I gu...

Does anyone have a trank gun!

Sometimes I feel like a toddler, discovering my belly button for the first time. My belly button is so unrecognizable now. The only problem I am finding about being pregnant is all the body changes. I mean, weight! Being thin for 28 years then ballooning up in a matter of months has really scared me. I know, I know, everyone says that I will loose it all very quickly, but I still don't like it. At church I looked down at my feet and ankles and realized that I no longer have any ankles...they have morphed into cankles...Yuk! I was so discussed that I almost threw up. I wish I was one of those women who don't gain hardly anything and don't really look like they are pregnant until they give birth. Okay, enough of poor me! It's not hard to remind myself that I am pregnant though...I can't go an hour without her kicking me. There is life in there...I am so happy whenever I can feel her. I am happy really easily...just give me chips or ice cream and I am fine. Which isn...
