a few thoughts
1. Today I have been pondering the irony of St. Patrick's Day being the green holiday. It makes me feel like it should be green, sunny, and springy outside. Unfortunately, today feels like the coldest day of March yet. :(
2. Its amazing how much better I feel after going to bed at 9pm last night. I've come to the realization thata lot a little sleep does a lot of good in my life.
3. Speaking of good weather andvacation sleep, I'm excited to take advantage of some SUNSHINE when I go to GREECE in three weeks.
4. And of course, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to myonly favorite baby brother! I can't believe he is 15 today. Does this mean he is going to start dating girls soon???? My favorite memory of Nathan is the fact that for the first probably 5 years of his life he thought his name was buddy, because that's what we all called him. :) Happy Birthday Buddy! I love you!

financial challenge
Scott and I are the Emergency Preparedness leaders in our ward. Which basically means we have gone from having no emergency preparedness to slowly building our food storage, water storage, first aid, 72-hour kits, etc. But one thing that I have been thinking a lot about lately is financial preparedness.
Neither Scott nor I are very big spenders, neither of us have any debt, and we have enough to take care of all of our needs. So, we somehow went for a year and half without actually having a written budget. As one of my New Year Resolutions I decided to create one. The past couple of months it has been really interesting to see how much money we have saved by simply knowing how much we are spending and on what.
Anyway, just as I was getting more and more interesting in learning to manage our money better, one of the blogs I follow [here] issued an organizing your finances challenge this week and I decided to join! Because we don't need a debt elimination plan, not all of it applies to us, but there is a lot of useful information on organizing your finances better. Wish me luck! I will post about how it goes at the end of the week. AND...more on Emergency Preparedness a little later this week as well!
