Something's Different...

This is the new view when you enter our house through the front door. Notice any additions? Large ones?

That's right- we got a piano!!! Today. For free. Totally and completely free. Don't be too amazed- you can always find free pianos on Craigs List if you are willing to move it. I've been looking almost every day for the past couple/few months, and finally there was one that I wanted, was close enough to get, and wasn't already taken.

{Bella, striking a pose.}

I cleared this space in our living room a few months ago when I realized it could be the perfect (and only) place for a piano. I've wanted a piano for years, so we moved our computer to our bedroom. I took lessons for 4 years when I was little, and have regretted quitting for a long time. I can barely even read music which is a real shame since I love to sing. I remember many times at Denise's house, crowding around the piano and singing hymns together. I love music and I want to fill our home with it.

Sam said he would give me lessons. After I figure the logistics of it I can't wait to get started. With maybe a brief delay for Molly to have a baby.
(By the way, it's actually a cool one too. It's a Crown model by the George P. Bent Piano Co, built sometime between 1930 and 1933. Before we got the piano I planned on painting it some bright, cool color, but I kind of like the wood. I know, me.
Dreams can come true!
