First Week in the Library

Great first week in the library! I think I am about as tired as when I was teaching Pre-K! Lots and lots of textbooks and teacher's manuals to check out! I was able to get to some of our brand new books! Can't wait to read them to the students!! I am excited to start library lessons on Monday! I can't wait to start introducing students to the library, get to know the students and read them some fun books!!

Anniversary Date

Paul and I celebrated our Four Year Anniversary yesterday! We decided to go on a little adventure and go to places we had never been before. We first made a stop at The Little Shoppe of Games. They had the biggest selections of board games that Paul loves that we have ever seen!

We then went to Ingrid's Kitchen, German Restaurant and Bakery! I think it is the best food I have had at a restaurant! I ordered Wiener Schnitzel dinner, it came with sauerkraut, red cabbage, and German potato salad, and bread. Paul had Bratwurst and Schnitzel with the same sizes. I had a eclair that was amazing! Paul had a cannoli. We took home a delicious Black Forest Cake. 

We went to find the B&B Windsor Theater. Before our movie we drove around 23rd street and saw what was near by. We saw an interesting used book store and costume shop. We decided to see Zookeeper! It was very funny! We were two of four people in the theater. It was a neat theater it reminded me of what it might have been like to go to the theater back in the 50s.
Paul surprised me this morning with Breakfast in Bed. He served me chocolate cake from the German Bakery.  

Life after NO HOMEWORK

Well, I thought it would be calmer after finishing the Master's, but I must say I think I have been just about as busy. We have enjoyed getting together with Paul's parents this past weekend. We had a great time seeing Captain America and watching VBS and vacation videos. Cynthia made us a delicious dinner and allowed me to relax and finish reading A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers! Thanks Mom #2!
We also got to see Luke and his apartment on Monday. He has a really nice apartment. We ate a Eskimo Joe's with him and Cynthia.  
We had an evening to ourselves Monday night and watched some CSI! Thank you Kamry for the videos. On Monday, Caleb and Megan came to visit! We has a great time catching up, eating great food (Yay Carbonara!) We played Settler's of Catan, Harry Potter Clue, and Star Wars Trouble! Megan and I had a great time going Thrift Store and Merrifield's! We also went to get our nails done and shopped at Staples today!
Megan game me a great idea of doing Dr. Seuss theme in the Library. I am planning on using  that theme on the Everybody reader section of the walls. Still looking for some themes for the older age part of the library so if anyone has an idea feel free to give me a comment!
I am looking forward to eating ice cream with Kamry and  lunch with some of the Enid Elementary Librarians tomorrow! Exciting and blessed time in both of our lives!!
