Music to my ears (and eyes)

So, the last few weeks I've been very focused on a quest for a piano. After months of saving, I finally had enough money to look seriously. I looked at a couple pianos that sounded great, but nothing really grabbed me...



Until Wednesday afternoon. Luke was sleeping, I was surfing the classifieds and found an ad that I couldn't pass up. Piano for sale, cheap, good condition, nearby - what more could I ask for?! Luke and I trekked to Orem, played a few minutes, and paid! On the way home, I arranged for the movers to pick up and drop off TODAY!!



HERE IT IS:What a handsome little guy to enhance our new addition.

I am so excited I could pee my pants (I'll try to control myself). The hardest part - in the last 20 minutes - has been playing while Luke sits by me and plays, too (or tugs on my sleeve, or moves the music off the piano). Oh well, the price you pay for happiness.

I know material things shouldn't be so important to me, but anyone who knows me knows hoe important playing music is to me - that's not an object, but it takes one to express.
