99 Red Balloons

     I have the cutest fiancé in the whole world! We were on our way home from the temple this morning, and he was like "Hey, we get married in 99 days. Do you wanna go buy 99 red balloons?" I thought it was a super cute way to count down to our wedding! So we went to Zurchers and bought 2 bags of "50" red balloons. Then when we got to my house, I was making lunch and Gordon was making a list of some sort, but wouldn't tell me what it was until he needed help with it. It was a list of, 99 things/activities to do. We came up with a list, some of which being duplicates, some of them being blank and we can do something random, and cut them up into little strips. We put a strip of paper in each balloon and so we pop a balloon have to do something every day so we aren't bored! I put 50 in quotations above because as we were getting close to being done blowing them up, we realized we didn't have enough balloons. That's right, we had 97 balloons, so we called the store and they gave us 3 for free.


Our list consisted of things like:
-Ice skating
-Bowling
-Babysitting our nieces and nephews
-Making crafts that I find on Pinterest,
-Reading a good book
-Starting a 1000 piece puzzle
-Go to a movie
-Harry Potter Party
-Make a healthy meal (body for life worthy)
-Make a treat from Pinterest
-Make a new dish from Pinterest
-Write a song together
-Learn a new duet
etc etc.


We tied the balloons on strings. Two balloons on each end of each string like this

We did that so we can put them in bunches like this.

Or hang a whole bunch from just one string like this.

  1. Here's something you can add to your list--watch Jason and Kodi's kids. Just kidding.
