Our First Piano!!

Lately I've been searching Craigslist a lot. I search for just about anything mostly apartments for rent, books, a road bike, and on occasion I look for musical instruments. So the other day I found a Suzuki Electric Piano listed for $250. I called the guy selling it and Drew and I jumped in the car and drove out to Verdi to look at it. It's was in pristine condition, weighted keys, pedals and beautiful dark wood. After some effort of trying to see if it would fit in our trailblazer we loaded it up and bought it on the spot. It was a steal in my eyes and we just couldn't pass up this great deal! My original plan was to save up for an electric piano from Costco, but this turned out to be much cheaper. Not that we have the money lying around, but we just couldn't pass it up. Drew has gaming systems and guns so he thought I should have my own toy. Honestly though his Wii was just as expensive as my piano and I'll get way more use out of it. The nice thing about an electric piano is that it doesn't need to be tuned after moving and significantly easier to move as well. The downside is that we live on the 3rd floor so getting it up here was awful. Drew asked his home teaching partner come help so we made it, but Drew refuses to move into another apartment after this because he doesn't want to move all the things we've brought up here. I'm very excited for our new piano and I think about going home everyday just to play it. Craigslist is amazing.

Allison's Wedding!

Drew and I just got back from Utah again. This time for Allison and John's Wedding! It was a lot of great fun. The wedding was absolutely perfect and so fun to be at. Allison was so beautiful and it was a very emotionally charged day! Drew got a little teary more than once and the sealing was especially amazing. I am very biased to our sealer, but Allison's sealer was very insightful. We stayed with Julie's cousin Diana and her husband Lee who live in Elk Ridge and that was equally fun and amazing. They have a very beautiful home with a view of the whole valley. Thursday we spent traveling, then on Friday we went to the Provo Temple for Allison's endowment session and afterward a picnic with Johns family. While we were having fun at Kiwanis Park I ran into my cousin Stephanie Campbell. It was great to catch up with her. What are the odds? Allison was married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple and I was really excited to go through it again because I was able to go to the Open House with my mom in 1996. It did rain a lot on Saturday, but the rain let up right as Allison & John were taking their individual pictures. and also let up as they were leaving the luncheon. Drew and I are really happy to have John in the family. He is such a great guy! Feast your eyes on wedding pictures!

We had a ton of fun!
