Happy Anniversary to us!

Yeah, yeah, so it's been a while since we posted anything. Why, you ask? Because now that we've been married for a year, we're are officially a lame married couple. Just kidding.

Actually, life has been pretty crazy here recently.We celebrated our one year anniversary on September 24th...kinda. I (Scott) had to be in Hattiesburg, MS that day for an event, so I had to get up early and leave without getting any time to celebrate. We did get to celebrate a little, though.

Since we moved in, Lyndsay had a place on the wall she had been saving for the piano at her parents house that they had offered to her. Unfortunately, it's super heavy and really old and fragile. There was no way that I would be able to get it out myself, so I knew we'd have to pay to get it moved. We'd already spent all of our budgeted money for the month on paint, and there wasn't enough left over to get it moved anytime soon.

Much to Lyndsay's surprise, she came home from work on Friday to discover the piano sitting in our living room! Being the budget keeper/enforcer in the relationship, I moved some numbers around and figured out a way to get it over.Without her knowing, I had called around Nashville and found someone to move the piano. They also tuned it! (which was good, since the piano just turned 100 years old this year...it kinda needed it)

A funny story about the piano movers. I hired them because they had good rates and seemed pretty knowledgeable. I never actually met them in person, though...only on the phone. Lyndsay's dad met them first, because they showed up that morning to pick up the piano. I got a call around lunchtime from Lyndsay's parents telling me that the piano movers had just come, and to be careful while they were in my house. They kind of had a tone in their voice as if they'd just said goodbye to their piano, and watched it get packed on a truck and taken off into the sunset to never be seen again

....turns out, the piano movers possessed a strange resemblance to the thieves in the Home Alone movies. No kidding. Not that piano movers are supposed to wear suits to work anything...but I would assume that they get their hair cut every now and then. Anyway, they turned out to be really nice guys. They showed up on time, got the piano delivered with no problems, and tuned it up so it sounds great. It was a good personal lesson in not judging based on appearances...because if I'd met them in person first, I probably wouldn't have let them within 100 yards of my piano.

So here's Lyndsay enjoying her piano. Yay. Happy Anniversary to us.
