The Blue Binder!

So this famous blue binder was truely a brilliant idea if I do say so myself!  I had a friend that once said to me: "Gosh Lori, it's really not that hard!  You just buy a few suits and luggage and send them out the door."  HAHA!  NOT THAT EASY!  It takes strategic planning to get a missionary out into the field and alot of medication to keep a Mom sane!  It truely is a book of information that you have to read, not just about what to buy, but other things that need to be handled.  Things like a multitude of immunizations, extension of driver's license, stories of ancestors as well as pedigree charts,  Priesthood line of Authority, medical info, which bicycle to buy, and the list goes on and on.  So because the thing I do best is shop, off we went in a rush one afternoon to Men's Wearhouse, since the best deal of the century was happening. Yippeeee oh how I love a good sale.  Curt and I and Jed off for our first big expenditure!  We walked in and it was all over in about an hour!  $1200 bucks later and bunch of things crossed off the list!  Accomplishment!  The days and weeks went by and little by little items were purchased and crossed off the list.  All of the other "to do" items were handled too and the short 12 weeks went by rather quickly... but not before some last minute playing was had by all!
