Lake Powell

Yay! Fischer family trip to Lake Powell this year! We are leaving June 16, just over two weeks from now.
Obviously I was born a Lake Powell baby...

Girl's Camp

So, for those of you who haven't heard, I was called to be assistant director of girl's camp in my ward. I was going through some old pictures, and this is what girl's camp was for me...
I guess I'm excited...

The Heroes of Olympus: Book Two

What I love about Rick Riordan is that he keeps his books coming, and he lets you know all about it on his blog. The second book in the "Heroes of Olympus" series is coming out October 4 (yes, that is what I will be doing during hunting season, reading)! He has posted the first chapter online as a sneak peek, it made me want to re-read every book he has ever written! Love it!

7 days....

No. Not 7 days, like you will die in seven days. More like I get to live again in seven days! Seven more days of school (not including weekends)!!! Yay! Yay! Yay!

A Good Monday

What is better than hitting a softball over someone's head?

1. Being a GIRL and hitting it over a GUY'S head.
2. Then, after he scoots back, hitting it over his head AGAIN.

Yes. This is why I L.O.V.E. summer softball. Our team, the Pink Panthers, is soooo fun. Pictures will come sometime soon.

What is better than hitting a softball over a guy's head twice?

Getting a new job after 8 interviews at 6 schools in 3 weeks. Yay!
East Sandy Elementary, 6th grade, here I come!

Busy Week

I had three job interview this week, Matt had finals and projects to finish the semester, and we put in an offer on a house... we were outbid on the house, but still, we put in an offer. Busy, busy, busy.

Reading, Reading, Reading

How lame am I? Here I am, posting about my Spring Break, and all I am planning on saying is how excited I am for summer, and how many books I have read this week. Seriously. Time to get a life I guess. Just FYI, there are only 7 more weeks of elementary school until summer!!! Yes. I am very excited. Cross your fingers that I can find a new job before those 7 weeks are up. Yes, I am looking for a new job. I still want to teach, I just need a new "environment." I am very excited for summer, and cannot wait until testing is over and I can have some fun at school again.

I do have some good reads to report:
1. "I am Number Four" by Pittacus Lore
The movie and the book are both good. But the author of the book is very interesting. Here is his bio from the book: "Pittacus Lore is Lorien's ruling Elder. He has been on Earth for the last twelve years, preparing for the war that will decide Earth's fate. His whereabouts are unknown." One book in a series, unknown how many books will be in the series.
2. "The Emerald Atlas" by John Stephens
Children's literature, with some surprising twists and other elements not found in other fantasy novels. I couldn't put it down, I needed to know how it would end. First book in a series of three.
3. "The Beyonders" by Brandon Mull
Author of the "Fablehaven" series. Not as much fun, a little slower than "Fablehaven," but once you get into it, it turns out to be better than you would have thought. Worth the time it takes to get into it. Again the first in a series of three books.

(And being the nerd that I am, I bought the "official illustrated Twilight guide." I haven't read it yet, but it looks very interesting.)

JUST FYI, THE SECOND BOOK IN THE KANE CHRONICLES COMES OUT ON MAY 3!
