Exciting News!!!! I got a piano!!!! I am so grateful and excited right now I can hardly stand it!!!My sweet Aunt Ann gave me her Yamaha studio piano because she isn't really using it anymore. I still can't believe it. When we built this house I left a specific spot in my house for my "future piano". That's how desperate I was. We hung pictures on that wall and when we placed the piano on it, we didn't have to move anything. It fit perfectly!
I played it for 2 hours yesterday and my boys have had fun plinking around on the keys. They want me to listen to every song that they create and critique it. It's really cute. I've always had this secret hope that I would be able to put them into piano lesson and have them be able to play beautifully. Now I'm down to hoping that they have enough piano lessons to learn how to play the hymns. We'll see. My oldest right now is an aspiring recorder player. :)
I started playing the piano when I was 6. It's been 25 years since then. I've had a piano in my home for 9 of my 13 years of marriage. I've really missed it. I'm not a great piano player by any means but I can play some pretty hard pieces which is oddly gratifying. It feels good to know that you conquered something difficult.
Music had always been important to me. I'm not the best communicator but I could always find a song that expressed exactly how I was feeling at the moment. I think Heavenly Father understood that music is a way for a lot of people to communicate. Amazing. I am so overwhelmed and grateful for sweet and generous family and friends.
