Adam is loving his new job as a new band teacher in our tiny town. Part of expanding the program with a new teacher was new funds to buy more instruments.
This picture is to show one of THE MOST stressful dates I have ever been on with Adam!! And I still razz him for this...
We decided to wait until Labor day weekend to go to Lowe's to buy our appliances because of the huge sales, which we scored big time!! We arranged a sitter and was about ready to go do our huge shopping trip when Adam gets a phone call... Instruments are in and he needs to pick it up. Really? They don't deliver a huge order like that?? (Thankfully the 30 new stands and their holders WERE delivered to the school! )
Fresno is about half hour drive and we try to compact as much things as possible in one trip. So we were going to pick up a bunch of new things at Lowe's and 26 music instruments in one trip. Problem is, music store was closing in an hour so we had to stop there first. The instruments had to sit in the car while we shopped for almost 2 hours. I was biting my nails the entire time just thinking about someone breaking into our van and taking over $13,000 worth of stuff from the car. Thank heavens, everything was safe when we got back.
But funny thing is, Adam had to tetris a lawn mower, couple of folding chairs, shovel, other random crap we bought for the apartment to house transition with all the stuff already in there. Thankfully the fridge, washer, and dryer were delivered to the house a few days later!
Oh man, some of the looks from people in the parking lot were hilarious as we pulled everything out and rearranged the van for everything to fit. I mean, who carries 6 trumpets around for the fun of it?
