A Chain of my Own

We all know that Amber is the Queen of making chains. Her love for countdown chains has been carried on by all of our children.

With some insistence of the kids, I came home from school last week to a paper chain hanging from the refrigerator. However, instead of counting down until Easter, someone's birthday, or a family vacation, this chain is for me! It is my countdown until I graduate from USU with my MBA.

Each link of this chain represents one weekend of classes. When I come home from my Saturday class, I rip off a link. That link tells me how many more weekends of class are ahead of me. It also has a family activity written on the paper link that we will do for that day to celebrate.

Last Saturday my link said I have 11 more weekends of school left and our family activity was a game of basketball in the driveway.

The kids all helped to write up the family activities, so they are all excited every time I rip off the link and read the activity for the day.

I am eager to watch my chain creep up the refrigerator door as my final day of class approaches in June!
