53 days Till I Do

Jan. 23rd

49 days!!

Its Saturday! Cassie and I don't sleep in. We never have. Its amazing that we both enjoy getting up early and making the Day Great!

A habit that I picked up from Tommy Bowden, former Clemson Football Head Coach, is making coffee in the morning for his wife. I heard Tommy speak at The Tallahassee Quarterback Club. TQbC is a non-profit that supports local high school football. Its a club that is made up of 200 raging football fans. A majority is Florida State Seminoles, Gators, some Georgia, Alabama and last a lone Wake Forest fan. Men and women from the community gather 8 or 9 times in the fall to listen to a speaker, eat great food and enjoy fellowship. I love it.

Anyways, Tommy Bowden is our club's speaker that this particular club meeting. Well, Tommy was speaking about life, coaching, and his father Legendary Coach Bobby Bowden. In the 45 mins of talking I held on to Tommy saying, " I get up at 5:30am every morning and make a cup of coffee for my wife. I love the smile on her face every morning and whatever stress I had been carrying was lifted. Her smile gets me through the long days at the office. " I have remembered that and applied it to my life. I get up at 6 am every morning and make coffee for my future wife. The smile it puts on her face wakes me up and makes my day. Even on Saturday and Sunday I make the coffee. She is amazing and I'm lucky that she chose me.
