Moving in and out...

So today my wife had to decide to work on our new residence (it is an unorganized mess, but not bad) or cleaning up our old place and checking out of there (lots of small things to clean but basically empty).  I didn't envy her.  I was off to work and didn't have to work on that much at all today (I will later tonight, but not much at all compared to what she will do).  I feel bad.  Ironically most days I feel rather guilty about just heading off to work while she fights what seem to me real battles at home. 

I guess possibly the biggest product of this move and stepping into the reality of being people with jobs and not so much students is that we are considering getting a Sams club card.  We may actually begin to make that worth our while.  That makes me cringe actually.  I guess that it is one more sign of growing up and becoming a bit more established...

I am excited about that prospect a little bit though, we can buy a few things in bulk that will be nice to get there rather than other places that are much higher priced, or worse not even available...

We are also trying to build up our food storage and there really has been a bit of a scare on the availability of flour, rice, sugar and other staples to the point that prices have really risen lately, and things aren't looking much brighter in the future.  This is sad, and hopefully not a permanent thing.

We hope your first purchase with your Sam's Club card is definitely a big huge gallon of Franks Red Hot. That's a food storage staple, right?
