I was called to be the Relief Society pianist at church... after I already told the relief society president that I didn't have a piano in my home. How am I suppose to practice? No way I would go to the church building EVERY single night to use a piano! And I certainly am not going to practice on a keyboard! And yes, if I had my piano with me, I would practice every day. How else am I suppose to improve? ...So Jacob and I decided to have my piano (at my parent's house) delivered to us. My parents bought me the piano when I was 14 and we always that this plan that when I got married and moved out, I would take it with me. My mom was pushing for us to move it whenever we could. I mean, sure, just let me pull $200 out of my butt and get professional piano movers to haul that thing! Well, we that's just what we did, lol. I took the day off since I had to be at my parent's house to let the piano movers in... but there was traffic on the Ortega on our way there, so I had to get my aunt to leave work to let them in the house. By the time we got to my parents' house, the piano was already moved and my aunt was leaving. Jacob dropped me off, went to work, and I took my car and drove back home. That's a long 1 1/2 hours! ...and then to turn around and do it again!
So I did some laundry, cleaned up around the house, chatted with my BFF Betsy on gmail chat, and waited for the piano movers. They came and our 'then' dining room is now a piano room! We figured since we don't use our dining room for formal dining, we could just put the piano there. It's too big to put in the living room so now we have a living room, with a piano room next to it :) hehe! It looks great in there. Here are before and after pics!

Now we just need a huge framed mirror on the wall or some kinda art! Oh, and we'll be painting this weekend because that light green just isn't pretty! I don't know what the previous owners were thinking when they chose that!
