Christmas in October

I've typed and re-typed this post several times and it's just not working for me . . . what can I say?  I'm so happy and excited and I can hardly believe it's really mine . . . today our piano was delivered!!!!  WE BOUGHT A PIANO!!!!  After piano shopping and watching ksl like a hawk for weeks and weeks, we stumbled upon this beauty for a great deal:
 How do you like the 70's bench?  I'm seeing some reupholstery in it's future . . .
It has a few minor issues, but considering it's age, it is in wonderful shape?  The sound is beautiful and we are so happy to have found this piano.  When Todd and I first got married, we made a list of our short and long-term goals.  One of our long-term goals was to have a piano before Todd turned 30.  He'll be 30 in February.  Over the course of the last few years, I never thought we would actually be able to get a piano by Todd's 30th birthday.  Lots of things made it seem impossible, but in the last couple of months, it just fell into place.  I pulled out my old piano books and tried to play this morning.  I haven't played in about 10 years and was never that good even then, but I'm hoping to teach (or reteach) myself to play.  And I'm grateful to have such a beautiful instrument in my home!
