So i am at work and its slow and i got started in to thinking about the little life lessons i have learned lately so i decided to write them down here so i do not forget!
10. You will never have enough time in life do do everything, so prioritize and decide what is really important and do that first because if the other things don't get done you wont care, but if you miss the important things you will be sad
9. Nothing will ever go the way you anticipated. It might go better it might go worse, so just be ready for anything
8. There is always someone who you can help. No matter what your situation is, how bad off you are there is always someone who is in need of your help! So forget about your troubles and help someone else it will make you feel better!
7. The Church will always be there. Where ever you go the church will always be there it is the same no matter what country or language its in. Go weekly and you will be happier and feel more peace
6. Pay your tithing first and you will have enough money. Somehow as long as you make sure that is the first check you write, everything else works out. I think its a way of saying keep the Lord first, because as long as you do he will make everything okay. Things will come your way, it might take a while it might get scary but the Lord will make sure EVERYTHING works out and it will, if your waiting for something to happen don't worry or stress just be patient the Lord has his own time line but i promise you pay your tithing and do what you should and the Lord will work everything out!
5. Crap happens. No matter what you do, or how good you are bad things happen. They are there to teach us and to help us grow, we can not escape trails, but we can use them to learn and to grow.
4. Having a close relationship with your family keeps you happy. God put us in families for a reason, they are there to help us and support us! Use them, and love them! Always make time for family!
3. Once you have kids you will never have enough alone time. Whether its with your spouse or just your self, once you have a kid you will never have enough alone time, so enjoy it while you can and welcome the change when you get it! And of course make sure you get a sitter now and then and get out of the house and have some fun with the love of your life!!
2. You will think love your kids/spouse as much as possible but you can always love them more! I am always amazed at how much my love grows for Derek and Jackie it seems like the littlest things make me love them even more!
1. You can never get enough hugs and kisses from your kids! Enjoy every hug and kiss from your kids, because they get big so fast, give them hugs and kisses as often as possible, and play with them as much as possible, turn off the TV and spend time with them!!
I love all you guys out there! I am so glad for friends and family that love and support us! If any of you guys are going through a rough time hang in there I promise things will turn up and you will be able to make it through what ever you are going through as long as you stay close to the Lord!! Don't stray from his path because it will make it that much harder to get back on track! If any of you guys need anything just let me know!

Would you Rather...
have a head twice the normal size OR half the normal size?
drive 50 miles with a car full of digital alarm clocks beeping OR drive the same distance with 4 styrofoam coolers, which constantly rub against each other, creating that annoying squeeking sound?
age only from the neck up OR age only from the neck down?
have to wear visible diapers for the rest of your life OR always have to drink and eat out of a bottle?
have your skin change into vibrant colors according to your emotional state (e.g. red for anger, blue for sadness) OR wildly and uncontrollably flail your arms around whenever you walk?
be married to an annoying practical joker who frequently pulls the 'bucket over the door' gag and many other elaborate jokes like it OR marry someone with no sense of humor?

SHORT WEEK!
I am so happy its a short week today! Its Monday but in the work world its Wednesday! Only 2 more days of work!! Then a nice weekend with good food and family! :) I love the holidays!
Any way Jackie is slowly becoming obsessed with shoes lol, she loves to play with her shoes and try to put them on. She will come up and tell me shoes shoes shoes and take me into her room and try to get me to open her container with all her shoes. Then she will bring them to us all excited! She also always knows where her normal shoes are when we are getting ready to leave you just have to ask her where her shoes are and she will run off to where ever she has left them and bring them to us :) lol
She can now climb in to her high chair, this is a clear sign she wants to eat ;) lol and she loves to climb on to our table to turn on our laptop (yes she knows the on button) so she can see the pictures of her self! She is a little vain! She loves to look at her self!! :)

Just want to say...
How much i freaking love my daughter Jacquelyn! I spent some time today reading a blog about a mother who lost her child (here) . It really made me reflect back on Jackie and how much she means to me!
When ever i am down or having a rough day it just takes a few minutes of playing with Jackie or holding her for everything to melt away and for everything to feel right again!
I am so glad the Lord as entrusted me with his precious daughter, and that Derek and I get to raise her!
I love teaching her things and seeing her learn every time she does something new i get so excited!! I love being a part of Gods plan! I love knowing what his plan is! I love knowing that no matter what happens in this life, as long as i do what i am supposed to, everything will work out! Trials will arise but we can get through them! I love this gospel! I am so glad to be apart of it! I love motherhood, its really one of the greatest things i can think of!! Once again, I love this gospel, it is true i have no doubt about that! I love Jackie and my sweet husband Derek and I am so glad he is always there for me, but right now I cant wait tell i get off work and I can go scoop Jackie up in my arms and give her a hug!

Right now this makes me extremely happy! I cant believe gas prices have gone down more then $2!!! It makes driving affordable again! Instead of over $60 to fill our tank it only costs $30! I hope everyone else is enjoying the LOW LOW LOW gas prices! Now i am just waiting for it to go to $0.99 like it was when i started driving! ;) but i guess for now i will just be happy its under $2!As thanksgiving nears i ask you all what is something you are thankful for?
