V

As I was walking into my work this morning I saw some birdies flying in the 'V' formation. And it made me really happy. (see!)

Have a great weekend ppl.

xoxo

just what i needed.

do you ever have those weekends where everything is perfect..(okay well close to perfect?)
that was this weekend. It was just what I needed.
ash(the bffe) and i went to CAFE and then hung out with some of my friends.. took them away from call of duty and we ended up playing games. super fun night. we were laughing hysterically at the game. not to mention it DOWNpoured snow. which i don't usually love..but it was BEAUTIFUL! mom even told me to go take pics and i cleaned instead. who just does that? oh wait, me. totally didn't get any pics wish i would have tho. So I've been on this friends kick.I'm watching them straight through. I just completed season six. i don't think i'll ever get sick of it. here's to season seven!! i just love the story line of ross and rachel. it makes me happy. now on to Saturday.. slept in. Nothing better then waking up whenever your body wakes up. did some cleaning then had such a great night with an old friend. we saw leap year.. super cute movie. and we chatted for hours on end. i love catching up with old friends. chel and i grew up down the street from each other and have always stayed in touch. nothing better than being with friends you grew up with because you have seen each other turn into who you are now. i also got to visit a friend and her baby in the hospital. miracles do happen. I love you guys! i duno why but this weekend was just what i needed. i love my fam, friends and life!

seven reasons

Seven Reasons not to mess with children
(you won't regret reading this!)

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ".

---------------

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute ."
------------


A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

--------------

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
--------------

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

--------------
This really is funny make sure to read the hole thing!!! -nishelle

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."

"Yes," the class said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"

A little fellow shouted,
"Cause your feet ain't empty."

----------------

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

"Take only ONE. God is watching."

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

Happy FOGGY FRIDAY!

Daily Gems

About a month ago I subscribed to 'Daily Gems'... I get sent inspirational quotes from conference talks daily... It always relates and starts my day off just right. I really LOVED this quote and talk so I thought I would share :)

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny, or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval, or admiration."No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God!"For what we love determines what we seek."What we seek determines what we think and do."What we think and do determines who we are—and who we will become."

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf,"The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 21–22
