a Discovery that i MUST share

I feel like i should share one of my discoveries, the bag company OGIO. i know many of you already know about this amazing company and their even more amazing products but just let me tell you anyway...

When i was told i was going to be off doing business in Dallas only days before i was to leave i wasn't worried too much about luggage, since i have my mission luggage. And then the night before i was leaving and was starting to pack, I realized that i leant my luggage to my friend Amy who was selling Security over the summer. This left me BAGLESS. I had seen people sporting OGIO paraphenelia for quite some time now, and it sparked my curiosity...so I set out to find some.

I decided on the brown pinstripe "terminal", instead of the cute pink one cause i figured if i was spending a decent amount of money i might as well buy something that maybe my brother wouldnt be embarrased to borrow, so I left the mall with what i thought was an overpriced piece of stylish trendy luggage-and with a lot of buyers remorse. BOY WAS I WRONG.

I fit ALMOST everything i took to Dallas, which included 4 swimsuits, and 6 pairs of shoes (defenitely wore all the shoes but only one bathing suit...once (sad)) and it kept me INCREDIBLY organized. And if you know me, that is not an easy task. It has so many pockets and compartments and this meshy foam that makes the luggage keep its shape. ITS AWESOME. And every paycheck i am this close to buying the matching carryon-maybe i will wait till i am actually going somewhere.

Last night we had a work banquet and i got an OGIO backpack, the "Urboe." Its a laptop one, and i dont have a laptop, and somehow i ended up with 2 of these backpacks...theyre 70 dollar backpacks, so if anyone is looking for a home for the laptop let me know...and of course you will have a little bit of Icon Security advertising on it as well. (i love my job!)

Ok... I won't be traveling that much once our little girls is born but I love being organized when I travel and I must have one of these! You have given me an awesome Christmas present idea for Matt (he's my little travel buddy!) Shauna I hope all is well with you!

Step by Step: Carol and Frank both went on vacation at the same time to Jamaica. Met and married impulsively, then had to come back and explain to their kids. They tried to keep it secret for a while too. Remember, she had that beauty shop attached to her house where her mom and sister also worked? Good times.
