Weekend 3.19.2010 and Emergency Preparedness

My parents came up from San Diego on Saturday to spend the day with us, YAY! We walked on the boardwalk, hung out, and ate at Cafe 50's. We'd never eaten there before and I don't know if we will again but it was fun to try once. The food is just mediocre but the atmosphere is fun. We had a great time mom and dad, we'll see you over Conference weekend!


Something else I wanted to mention was emergency preparedness. About a week and a half ago I felt prompted to get a 72-hour kit in order for Chris and me. I wrote a note on the white board to remind myself but didn't do anything else about it. This Sunday the topic for Sacrament meeting was Emergency Preparedness and I immediately remembered that prompting. I decided I had better heed this prompting instead of letting that note just sit on the white board.

For FHE on Monday Chris and I spent some time researching different kits and whether to prepare one ourselves or buy a ready-made one. We opted for ready-made and found a great 2-person kit on sale. We haven't received it in the mail yet but my mind is already at ease knowing I have done something to prepare.


You should too, that's all.

Where did you get your kits from. I've been thinking about putting some new ones together, but maybe I'll skip the hassle and buy some for my parents to bring out. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi, I'm also curious where you got your kits from. We got ours from Ready Set Go Kits (http://www.readysetgokits.com) and were really happy with them.
