Piano...

A while back I found a piano on free-cycle that a church in the area was giving away. I went and checked it out. It was an upright piano, 2 of the keys didn't work and all of the keys were well worn. BUT I fell in love with it and Darin and I both wanted a piano in the house. So we asked some friends for help. We should have asked MORE friends for help because the piano ended up being a beast! We had a hard time getting it out of the church onto the truck. The piano was EXTREMELY heavy and would only load on its side. I was afraid it would break the tail-gate. The church was located about 20 minutes from our house. We had to take the free-way to get home. Our friend drove really slow then we had our other friend drive behind us as a buffer if the piano decided to fly out. I seriously thought we were going to kill someone! Thankfully Riley had some mad Marine knot tying skills and we made it safely!

We recruited a neighbor to help unload...but I am positive we could have used 3 more men. The piano was so heavy it scratched the concrete as they were bringing it in. I was a little worried about my floors.Sarah and Lucus our neighbors helped supervise.

Nash fell asleep on the way home and this is where he sat during the process. Probably better that way so he wasn't under their feet.

I LOVE our piano! My friend Brook let me borrow some music (I am terrible) and it has been fun playing and relearning the piano! Thanks to everyone that busted their backs to get this beast to our home. Now I think we will sale the house with it in it! haha
