"If plan A doesn't work, stay cool, theres 25 more letters in the alphabet"- Claire Cook

3. For when your feeling a little down 

"Life is short, smile while you still have teeth"-Mallory Hopkins

I was having a rough day prior to this, but that baby's face lifted my spirits even if just for a moment. Look for little reasons to smile every day. There's always a reason to smile and always a reason to frown, the choice is yours.

4. In case you forget you're awesome

6. When you forget your self worth 

"Never let anyone treat you like a yellow starburst, you're a pink starburst." - Unknown

No matter how hard things are, take a step back and keep going. Times can be tough but you're strong too. Things will always get better, you just have to keep going.

9. For when your dreams seem impossible

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
