Summer?

I have definitely been a failure at blogging for the past few months! But that's okay, because the quality of each post is impeccable, which makes up for that. :) Isn't that how it works? Anyways, I have about a million things that I want to write about because about a million things are happening! I will begin with exactly what I am thinking about right now. Summer! What a beautiful idea Summer is. I have not had the opportunity to completely enjoy Summer just yet, because after school got out last Thursday, although I had last Friday to chill, this entire week consists of training for next year! We are implementing the New Common Core that already 44 states have implemented. Yes, it has taken Utah that long to catch the wave. What is going on with the other 6 states? I don't really feel like it's TOO much of an inconvenience, however, because I have moved from 3&5th grade, to 5th grade, now back to 3rd grade. So what's a new curriculum altogether going to hurt? Maybe after this year, since I will be staying with 3rd grade (yes, that is a part of the exciting news I will share later), I will be able to get organized!

Exciting news! I am going to be teaching 3rd grade next year!! I couldn't be more excited! The reason I switch every year is because who they need teaching what depends on the number of students moving to each grade level. They needed me in fifth grade last year because there were 74 fifth graders, and splitting that between 2 classes would be crazy. That's how I was hired for that position. This year, 5th grade doesn't have AS many students, but 3rd grade does, and so that's the reason for the switch. Plus, this position is one that I will be able to have until basically I don't want it anymore. I will even get to move up to a license 2 level after this year! I am definitely sad to leave my 5th grade team, Carol and Lynn, and the 5th grade curriculum (because I was beginning to feel like I was finally getting the hang of it), but I love love love my new team, Elizabeth and Kristin, equally as much! Hopefully we will all learn to love the new 3rd grade curriculum. Luckily for us, all that's changing this year is Language Arts, but next year, math is changing as well.

The most amazing faculty ever!! (missing a few people)

All of the sweet 5th grade girls!

More exciting news!! We are moving!!! This is probably some of the most exciting news, because although I love living with my in laws, having our own place when Baby Keil comes is really important to me. I feel like we would be more of a nuisance if we stayed much longer anyways. The condo that we purchased and will be able to move into in the next couple of weeks is in Pleasant Grove. It is still a close enough distance away from Tyler's work and from my school that it won't be that much more travel time than we are currently doing. It is on the top level of 3, vaulted ceilings, 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, laundry room, beautiful kitchen, nice living room, plenty of storage space, and a garage! We really got a great deal! The complex has an incredible club house, swimming pool, playground, basketball court, and many other great qualities! We feel like it is going to be an awesome starter home for our family, and we can't wait to sign those final papers! (I will post pictures when we move in).

Even more exciting news!! Our baby boy is growing like crazy!!!! I can feel him moving all the time. We really think that he is either going to be a dancer or a karate ninja. Those are the activities that it feels like he practices the most in my growing belly. I don't know what my waist measured before, but it is now 40 inches around and I am at 28 weeks. I still really haven't taken a "pregnant" belly picture yet. Maybe we should do that soon. With 3 months to go, I don't think I will really want to be taking many pictures by the end of this adventure. We have settled on a name, and I love love love it! NOAH MORGAN KEIL will be joining our family in August!! I love it even more each time I say it! My coworkers even had a surprise baby shower for me on the 30th of May! They got us so many awesome gifts and I really can't thank them enough. I literally work with the most amazing people on the planet. My students had a baby shower for me on the last day of school and were extremely generous with their gifts as well. They can't wait for Noah to get here too. I am feeling great though, even though I am getting a little bigger each week. I eat constantly, and most recently I have been craving tomatoes, lemonade, and nectarines. I still eat cereal all the time. I love Subway. I am so glad that my appetite is back. I finally got my dessert taste-buds back and I am loving that. I eat ice cream a lot. I have a feeling my sister Erin's suggestion of Otter Pops will come in handy soon as the weather starts to get hotter. We also have some amazing shaved ice stands in Orem!

My yummy cake! 

Upcoming exciting news! Next month, on July 2nd, Tyler and I will have been married for a year!!! I love Tyler so so so so so much! He is my sweetie pie and I couldn't be more in love with him! He has been especially great the past few months by giving my massages when I want them, and getting me treats when I need them. He is getting better at making the bed every morning. He really is the best. I couldn't ask for a better person to share my everything with! He is going to start taking classes again in the Fall and he is going to continue working as a teller at the credit union. He is learning so much from working at the credit union which has come in handy while going through the process of buying our condo. He teaches me new things everyday! He still plays basketball in the evenings, and we have even   been going to the park with our basketball lately and he has been teaching me how to shoot better. We went camping for memorial day weekend and got to sleep in our new tent. We went to Capitol Reef in Southern Utah and had fun hiking up mountains and through waterfalls with our fun family! Our cousin Lisa is having a baby boy in August as well and we were able to hike together! It was tons of fun! We ate yummy camping food and really enjoyed some great time with family. We went to a concert in the park on Memorial Day and got to see Vocal Point and Pentatonix from the show "The Sing Off". We especially love Pentatonix and are excited to buy their CD at the end of this month.

My and my Love

Vocal Point

Oh, one of the most important details of the past few months that I almost forgot to mention that I had my birthday in April! I am now 24 years old!!! So crazy!! That's all! Hopefully I will be able to add more at another time! So many exciting things happening! It's so crazy!!!
