Stuff I Think About

It's always nice having something to look forward to. We have a little less than two weeks before we head out to Las Vegas for the tournament. Admittedly, Las Vegas is not one of my favorite cities, but a break from life + BYU basketball + road tripping + seeing family + warm weather should make for a fun getaway.

Last weekend, one of my brother's friends stopped in Vegas on his way to California and picked up our tickets. Hooray!

Also, tomorrow is a huge BYU basketball game. My stomach squirms just thinking about it.

In other news, Johnny and I are now proud owners of a 72-hour backpack. We've recently been discussing what we would do in an emergency, and we realized we should probably have one. That and a few extra gallons of water are about all we can do in the way of having food storage out here. The night we ordered it, I fell asleep imagining myself putting the backpack on, putting Persie in her carrier, and putting on running shoes and booking it off the island. I have dramatic thoughts, haha. But I guess it's best to be prepared!

Along that line, we've also been sticking to a rather strict budget. I guess these are just natural changes on our path to responsible adulthood? What has happened to us? And yet, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's pretty fun!
