Play me a song piano man


Mason, posing with our new piano! James picked this trailer up while we were on a walk in our neighborhood in Provo. A man was in the process of putting a free sign on it and James claimed it then and there. As you can imagine, I spent the rest of our walk jeering at him while he casually pulled it along behind him. Needless to say, being able to actually use his sweet find to haul our piano was a sweet victory for my man!
One of the many things I love about Jamesy is that he is constantly surprising me. When I first was getting to know him, I was surprised to find that this big manly man owned two standard poodles. Boy was that endearing! From there I learned that he loves poetry (the classic good stuff) and is quite the cook. Recently I learned that he has always wanted to learn how to play the piano. From someone who despised piano lessons growing up, the idea of actually wanting to play both fascinated and inspired me. Our house is currently in dyer need of more furniture, so owning a piano instantly went straight to the top of my "need" list. Thanks to Craiglist, last weekend we got one! And for only $100! Hot dog! So what if some of the keys are chipped at the tips? As I sit here listening to James serenade me with scales and Twinkle Twinkle, I wonder if the piano has ever sounded so good. Who knew I married Mozart?!!!.....well, Mozart at age three.
