Weekly Countdown

A long time ago I mentioned a weekly countdown that I made! I finally got some pictures of it so I will try to post it each week but for my lack of posting for the past 6 weeks here you go!  I made 2 of these and Jake has one with him! It took FOREVER but I am so glad I did it now :) I love it and Wednesdays are my favorite day because I get to flip it!  Jake even helped me with several pages and we spent so many hours on this! It is so great though because we will ALWAYS have them even when he gets home to look back on :)  Each one has a picture and a motivational quote with the number of weeks left!

Follow through: Stopping at third base adds no more to the score than striking out. ~Alexander Animator
*Me and Jake kind of lived by this quote before he left…we knew this was our last step of coming together and we had to just keep pushing through!

101:  There is only one day that you and I have to live for, and that’s today.  There is nothing we can do about yesterday except repent and there may be no tomorrow.  The thing for us to do when we arise from our beds as God gives us a new day, is to take whatever comes to our hands and do it to the best of our ability. ~ Harold B. Lee

99:  Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time, it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. ~Sydney J. Harris

98: To ignore an insult is the true test of courage. ~Anonymous
There you have it! The 6 weeks you missed! I will try my hardest to keep up now! I wake up every morning and reread the quotes and look at the cutie next to me and that is what keeps me through the day!  :)
