Hello everyone, I thought I would let you all know what is going on in my world (since I know everyone has been wondering). I loved teaching 4th grade this year. I had a great group of kids, so they decided to try a little looping; therefore, I will teach them all again in 5th grade next year! I am very excited because I will teach math, science and religion. Since this years fifth grade teacher found another job, the principal thought that since I will be taking 6 weeks off in September, it would be best since I already know this group of students. I am a bit nervous about this whole having a baby and going back to work thing, but kowing that I am returning to a familiar group of students makes me a bit less stressed.
Baby Update!!
Baby Mathys is doing well. He is growing and moving around more and more. I am due September 12, but am hoping he is born on the 10th (9-10-11). Dusten and I are still struggling to pick out a name. Hopefully we can come to a decision before he is born, but it is not looking good. Janice's babies are doing good as well. They are thinking about inducing her at 37 weeks (around June 15th). This would give the twins almost the same birthday as Abbey. Abbey says no!

The Wilderness Downtown
I made us a music video. Honest. I made the whole thing. I'm not a liar*. Html 5 is necessary.

1 and 1 so far
My new hockey team is off to a 1 and 1 start. We lost the first game 6-0, then we won last night 6-0. I'm a defense men, I have no goals so far, but am a plus 2 for a season.

Gettysburg
Looks good. EW says its suppose to "...strip away the romanticized veneer of war and present the engagement as a "visceral, terrifying experience"" I just hope Meade gets more then a walk on like in Turner's Gettysburg.

Bookskoetter Blog and other news!
I am currently looking for library jobs, and decided to create a book blog to make myself look good (and because I've been wanting to make one for awhile anyways!). It's pretty basic at this point because I haven't chosen what direction I want it to go. If I get a school library position, I'll be adding sections for Professional Development presentations, teacher resources, and probably Book Club stuff. If I get a job at a public library, I will be adding programming sections, etc... Also, I don't know what age group I'll be working with, so I've tried to put a little of everything up. Let me know if you have any ideas for how to make it better! I have an interview Monday, but it's to a job that I probably won't get (because I haven't finished my Master's yet). If I don't get that job, there will probably be some Middle School or Elementary library positions coming up, and the public library will be posting a Young Adult librarian position in the next two weeks.
In other news, I bought a kayak! It won't come in for a few weeks, but I am super excited about it! It's a green Perception Tribute. It's a 10 footer, so it's best for rivers. It could probably survive the lake, too (though not as well as dad's). I'm not sure how I'm going to transport it yet, but dad and River Jim both have some ideas. Got to go kayaking yesterday, and we saw a heron, some turtles, and some vultures. The river was up so it only took an hour and a half to float a section of the river that usually takes 3-4 hours to float.
Mason update: He is 8 1/2 months old, and crawling all over the place. He can pull up to standing, and we are thinking he may end up being an early walker. Plus, we are pretty sure he's a wizard.
Mykl and I got to see SPAMALOT on Friday night. Dad wanted to make sure that I told Joey so he could be jealous. It was hilarious! A lot like the Holy Grail, but with added scenes (and songs)
