Piano Keys and S&P

My roommate and best friend, Celeste, is a master at the piano. So, when she inherited a piano she was so excited to move it into our apartment.

Let me tell you, moving a piano is a great way to make some friends. We recruited a few guys that live in our complex to help carry it up a flight of stairs. We were making cookies for a week trying to make it up to them!




On the top of the piano there is a mirror. It adds a nice little touch and an artistic feel to an otherwise, ordinary upright piano.



A little known fact that only a few people know about me is that I have a salt and pepper shaker collection. It's quite small, only consisting of about 20 sets of shakers.

Anyway, how do salt and pepper shakers and pianos relate to each other? I put my shakers above the piano. It's the perfect place to display them. And, it gives our apartment a more homey feel.

Spring has finally sprung!

The beauty of the Utah State campus amazes me. As I see tulips, trees blossoming, green grass and birds chirping, it makes me excited. I took a walk around campus today after my Sunday afternoon nap. The lighting was perfect for taking pictures. I got some amazing shots. These are straight out of camera, not edited at all just so you know!









Last year I never saw campus in the spring. By the time spring had sprung school was out and I had moved back home. It's beautiful in the winter time, but it's even more beautiful in the spring. I think I like it better this time of year. It's quiet and peaceful and there's hardly anyone around. It's like you have the whole place to yourself and you don't have to be in a hurry to get anywhere. I took the time to look around campus and notice things I've never noticed before. It was a nice day.

Spreadable Butter

So, call me high maintenance or extremely picky, but does it matter to anyone else to have soft butter to spread on their toast?

I woke up this morning and surprised myself. I made myself fried eggs and two pieces of toast with a full, cold glass of milk. I must have been really hungry when I woke up.

I go to spread butter on my toast and IT DOESN'T SPREAD! The kitchen window was left open last night and I guess it froze the butter! This is what soft butter should look like:



Everyone in my family feels very strongly about soft butter... my older brother once wrote a college paper about the importance of soft butter. You did write a paper about that, right Kyle? You don't still have that do you? That would be fun to post...

You may wonder why I have a picture of butter... It looked cool ok?!

New surroundings

So, I haven't posted for almost two weeks and I'm so sorry! I feel so out of the loop... and I hate it. These past two weeks have been a blur. Between final tests and final projects, cleaning and relocating all my crap between two apartments, traveling, and job hunting... it's been insane! There were a couple days where I was tired to the point of exhaustion. But, now that I'm settled in my new apartment, things are starting to look up. Here are some pics!









If you go out in the middle of the street and stand there, this is what you'll see:

I have the best view of campus, and Old Main Hill as my playground!

So yeah. That's my apartment. Overall, it's so much bigger and nicer than my previous apartment. There's probably three times as much storage space than what I'm used to and it just has a nice feel to it. I really like it here.

That's going to be all for this post... sorry the majority of it is pictures with no explanation. One thing I hate most is pictures without explanations, so I'm going to be a little bit of a hypocrite right now. More posts to come!

Oh, I'm job hunting so if you hear of anything in the Logan area let me know by leaving a comment! Thanks :)
