Our Piano




We had a great weekend. Conference was so wonderful. The talks were great. I learned so much. Another thing that was wonderful this weekend was I bought a piano! I have been wanting to get a piano for years. This year after we got our tax refund, I told Scott I wanted to get a couch and a piano with it. I want to get a brand spanking new grand piano someday but that is just not in my price range this year! Anyway, I was complaining a little on facebook that I didn't want to look for piano prices anymore and I was tired of researching and my frined Ty saw it posted. She called me and told me her piano was for sale. So I went and looked at and of course, my sweet little Aaron somehow finds a crayon and starts drawing on the keys. He marks it before I even bought it! Anyway, Saturday between sessions, my husband Scott and Ty's husband Jake and a friend Keith delivered it and boy was it a bear to get in the house. That was a good workout. But they got it in the house and it is in the front room and we have all thoroughly enjoyed it. I have enjoyed practicing my hymns. My goal is to be able to play the hymns and Children's songbook so that someday I will be able to accompany at church. We'll see if that happens but I have already been practicing my piano more than I ever have. Kalli is taking piano lessons and this will really help her too. Kael has enjoyed the piano too so I know I have made a good investment for the future.

I'm excited for you and your family. Piano brings me lots of comfort as I play the hymns (I'm still not polished enough to play in church--but I love playing at home).

I'm more grateful to you :) You know I just made you buy it because of the crayon on the keys right??? LOL, it adds to the burn mark on the top of the piano from my brother when we were kids. I'm so glad it's gone somewhere I know that it'll be safe and used properly :) ENJOY!!
