- Have a book or journal about him and dedicate a few pages to count downs. It’s great for anything from boot camp to deployment.
- Make a paper chains with the amount of days until he’s gone. This is great because if the date is moved you can always add more, and it’s fun to rip those paper rings :P
- Have a dish with chocolates, or candies, each for a day. YUM!
- Stick post-it notes to your wall. Write one thing you love about him on each one ♥ Or one reason you hate deployment/bootcamp/etc.
- Write each number on sticky notes (or sayings) going back through, one for each day. Every day, peel one off, and stick it on your wall :)
- Use an empty bottle (or 2) and fill it with paper oragami lucky stars:http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-lucky-star.html You can even write something inside the paper strips. Each day remove one and either place it in another bottle or throw it away. This can be done with other things like rocks, paper hearts, etc.
