The Tchaikovsky Compulsion

I have always had an obsession with classical piano. Some how it just gets me in a place that when nothing else can reach me it can pull me out of my shell and evoke emotion even i didnt know i could express. Theres something magical about hearing the chords dance through the air. I have always wanted to learn to play but as many of you know it is near impossible to learn without a piano or keyboard to practice on daily.

This weekend i was excited to find out that we were offerend a piano FOR FREE!!!!

But before we could get the thing we had to borrow my father in-laws trailor. We went after church to pick up the trailor from his house and it had a flat tire. The waiting begins here... we had to wait about 4 hours before we could get it to a shop that could fix it on a sunday afternoon. I got ansy because i was so stinkin excited that i was about to have something i had dreamed about snice i was like 6.
We finally got everything all fixed up and we were on our way :) it only took about 15minutes to drive to the pick up location but it felt like forever since i was packed like a sardine in a car with 4 grown men. Luckily they were all family so it wasn't weired.

When we arrived it was even more glorious than i had dreamt! It was beautiful and i couldnt wait to hurry up and get it home!

fast forward to home

when we arrived at home my brother in-law and father in-law and one of his friends were waiting to help us unload it. It was
quickly wisked inside my house into a not so permanant home in my dining room (we will later move it to the study) BUT ITS HERE!! For all to enjoy for children to bang on and for me to attempt to teach myself to play until i can afford some traditional lessons.


My two year old has already taken an intrest as expected. Well see how he feels about it when hes 7 and i am making him practice for an hour each day and take lessons hehe :)

arent those little fingers ADORABLE and the adorable is multiplied by about 100,000 billion because they are tickling those gorgeous ivorys!

A big shout out to all my friends and family that helped! AAAAAAND if you know how to play the piano please feel free to drop by and play me and my kiddos a tune or 12 :) it would be greatly appreciated.
