Lists here, lists there, lists everywhere....

The battle of lists has begun. 

As the time slips rapidly away for the time of our departure, we've begun writing lists in attempt to keep ourselves organized.  While it is very helpful to Christian, it is very stressful for me.  I see all the stuff we have to do and my brain goes into panic mode.  Never-the-less, we are going to persevere and make all the lists we possibly can so we can feel confident we didn't forget anything.  Please, if you think of something we've forgotten on one of our lists, feel free to let us know!

Here are a few of the lists that we have going:

Church Wards and Branches along our route
Temples along our route
Bishops
Missions
Mission office info

Projects in the areas we'll be going through
Contacts of the projects
Types of projects

We have a list of things Christian is responsible for such as:
He needs to list what gear we have, what gear we need and then figure out what gear we're going to take.

We have a list of US Embassy locations
We have a list of countries that require tourist visas
We have a list of countries that don't require tourist visas
I will be making a list of what is required to get the visas we need

We have a list of things we need to do before we leave as well as lists of lists of lists concerning those things.

See how I could become overwhelmed??  I was doing okay up until I stated writing this post and looking at our past lists and making this list of all the things that I still have to do.

But I will persevere!  I will not let these lists get the better of me!  I will check things once, twice and then cross something OFF the list and I will be the new "Conquerer of Lists! 

So far:
