Fiery Crash Party

Why are we at a party where people sit at computers and type? Because we are at a Fiery Crash Party!
What's a Fiery Crash Party? Its a party where people get together and get all their documents together so if they are incapacitated in a fiery crash, their affairs are in order.
Do you have your Advance Directive, Last Will and Testament and Power of Attorney all complete?

Matt works on his will.

The best part was that there were two notaries there to make everything legal.

It took a surprising amount of time and also a lot of signing and witnessing.

But in the end, we are now both ready for a fiery crash.
When I tell people about this party they are either weirded out or incredibly enthusiastic. I am in the enthusiastic camp and I thank Laurie and Burt for having this party, Laurie's parents for hosting and Laurie for notarizing everything.

Should something happen to me, look in the second drawer of the file cabinet. All my documents are there.

WE keep saying that we need to get our documents in order...and we never get to it. We always think that we need to have an attorney. How nice to have a fun way to get it all done.
