Other State Mottos?

So, I saw this on another website and I've had it e-mailed to me a few times and I thought it was funny and since I'm having a kind of hard day, I thought since it lifted my spirits a bit I hope it will give you at least a little smile.

I didn't write these, I just found them.

Enjoy!

I like a few of them. They really made me smile which was really good on a day like today. If you read my other blog you'll kind of see what's going on in my teaching life. But I just learned today that my old boss was in a coma for the past 3 days and died last night. I really enjoyed working with him. He gave me a job right out of high school even though I wasn't a full time BYU student yet and he was willing to work around my school schedule to give me the 20 hours a week I needed to keep my job afloat. He was a wonderful guy and I'm just glad that it seems like he went in peace. RIP Gary! Also, Jakob's Great-Aunt (I believe) also passed away, so RIP to her as well.

But to get on a happier note, Jakob may be getting into a show. I don't want to jinx it, so I'm not going to say anything about it yet. He had callbacks yesterday night and he has another round of them tomorrow, so we'll see how they go.
