Guess what my wonderful, amazing husband bought me the other day...a CELLO. How cool is that? How awesome is my husband? :)
I have wanted a cello for years and years. I always said..."One day I'm just gonna buy a cello and teach myself". Well, in my mind, that "one day" was a few years away but Ben had other plans. Apparently, he has been doing research about them for weeks to see what would be best for me.
He came home the other day and Zac was fast asleep on my lap so I couldnt get up. He just said "Hi, I'll be back in a minute". He then went to the car and came back to the loungeroom and placed the cello on the lounge opposite me. My first response was a HUGE smile but I said "Ben, what have you done". He walked back out of the room and I was left there gawking at what was on the lounge. Lydia kept asking me questions but I just kept gawking.
So yes, Ben bought me a cello. I feel like a 5 year old again. I have put fingering stickers on the fingerboard and I have to keep looking at both my fingers and the bow otherwise I play the wrong note or squeek the bow. I now have to learn a whole new cleft which will be a challenge but hey, thats the fun of it. Mind you, after all this squeeking, Ben may regret buying it for me.
But, it is a lot of fun and I am so so so thankful to Ben for it.
