Our new arrival

I have wanted a piano ever since I moved away from home and no longer had one! During the last five years of marriage we didn't feel it was a good idea since we were living the student life and moving around a lot. We have moved 7 times in the last 5 years! Now that Dan isn't a student and we will be a little more grounded I decided it was time. I found this piano on craigslist for $250.00 on Saturday and immediately called up the owner to go check it out! The piano was in good shape, other than it needs to be tuned. The owner was a cute old lady who had had the piano in their family since she was a young adult. After having two boys of her own that learned to play, she was happy to see the piano go to another little boy. Pianos are interesting things, they are merely intruments however as they grow with your family they take on their own personality and seem to become a member of the family. I can't wait to see all the memories that come from our new little piano.

5 years and 3 days later...

On April 6th Dan and I celebrated our 5th year anniversary! To celebrate we drove 12 hours to Utah, fun huh?! The reason for the trip was to see my little brother was getting married. Dan has been waiting a long time for another in-law to join the family (he being the only one so far), it only took 5 years and 3 days! My brother was married April 9th, and just like our wedding it was a cold snowy day. However cold and windy it was, it didn't damper anyone's spririt!

Aww.. I love weddings. Love the matching ties

Kailee and I are so excited to have a new sister :)
