Trading up

From an earlier post you can see that Matt gave me quite the Christmas present last year. Unfortunately, it has just sat around for the entire year since it was given to me. Not that I didn't think it was a really cool present or anything, it just needed a lot of work. It had the potential of serious greatness, but alas Matt has had zero time to put any effort towards it's future greatness. And Matt being Matt and me being me, we decided we should trade in. Matt wanted more space in the garage and I wanted something I could enjoy now (as opposed to many years from now when Matt might finally (yeah right) have some time to give it some love). I love Matt and think he's the greatest husband imaginable. Anyway, here's the ghia upgrade...




Awesome huh!!! Thanks to a struggling economy and its previous owner's desperation to sell because an upcoming move to smaller digs, we scored this beauty (in unimaginable perfection) at an amazing deal. Basically a straight up trade for the car, what great fortune! So, I now have a beautiful piece of furniture in my 'twirling' room that has been empty since we moved in. It's a 5'3" Yamaha baby grand, not a scratch on it either. I'm now it's third owner. It will live a long happy life here in our home. Now I just need to see if I can remember how to play :) I wonder what I'll get this year for Christmas... Keep those awesome Christmas gifts coming honey! I love you!
