I spy with my little eye...

With the help of my handy dandy toilet paper roll turned telescope...

I spy with my little eye...

An Orange construction Cone!

A pear tree... IN Cache Valley? What the Heck? (sorry you can't see it very good)

A USU sign in sidewalk chalk

A tree with a face...

A yellow car! (this ones for you Jenna!)
LOOK IT'S A DISTRACTION:
Look at that cute baby!

I spy with my little eye....

Some pretty flowers with weird bean looking seed pods

Some Beautiful roses

A Really cute baby....
As you can see me and my trusty telescope have had quite the journey so good-bye for now....

Love,

Rachel

(Singing) What Can You Do With a T.P. Roll?

(to the tune of the Klondike bar jingle)

Hello ladies! I am so, so late and definitely deserve to be shunned! (SHUN ladies, SHUN. OK, we're done.)

Here is my little friend, Rollie. He is helping me think of what craft I can do with him.

He's pretty smart and has some interesting ideas, but I think I have a better one. What do you think, Mr. Rollie?

Mwa-hah-hah-hahhh.

You'll like it soon enough, Rollie - snug as a bug in a rug. (Or, in a wallpaper sample.)

Some spray glue, some Krylon Gloss, and we're done.

Rollie has the privilege of organizing my knitting needle collection! Neal's mother lent a whole bunch of them to me. I can hardly wait to try them all out.

Here they all are, gathered together and protected from dings.

YAY for recycling!

News Flash! Provo

Hey everyone! It's me, April, and I have taken up a new place of residence in Provo. I go to BYU, and school starts Monday, so I moved out yesterday, and today is my first morning here in my new apartment!
Last year when I lived in the dorms I got along with my roommates so well that we decided we should all live together again. I'm glad. Already it looks like it will be a good year. I love these girls! :) My best friend from high school, Mindy, independently decided to move into the same apartment complex as me. So she lives very close by, with Jessica, another best friend from high school.
The best thing about my new apartment is the windows. Last year we lived in a basement apartment with only slit windows near the ceiling. It's amazing how much difference natural lighting can make. I am now sitting on my bed with my window open, and sunlight streaming in. It's beautiful. We had to make sacrifices to have windows (i.e. smaller rooms, less closet space, smaller fridge) but it was definitely worth it. Especially because we also have a living room and a balcony (we are on the third floor).
As I said, school starts Monday -- tomorrow. It doesn't feel real yet. I'm taking Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics (same as last year, just the next level up), as well as social dance, and church history: the life of Joseph Smith. I think I might take an art class, too. :)
So there you have it! The update of April's change in location.
