FI and I met with a violinist yesterday. I have heard great reviews about her from local knotties. Her resume is impressive as well.

So we get there and she starts playing some songs for us. I can't help but smile like an idiot as soon as I hear her play those songs. She played the bridal march for us, and although I really do not want to walk down the aisle to that song, it sounds way better on a violin than an organ. She also played Canon in D and Trumpet Voluntary. Everything sounded great. She was not only talented, but very nice. Her hubby plays the oboe and she offered his services for a reasonable price. I really would like to add him because Canon just doesn't sound as beautiful on a single violin. Also, Trumpet Voluntary will sound better on the oboe. FI has no idea what an oboe is and he gave me a hard time about it at first. But then I realized he was only joking.

So we are probably going to see the violinist again at the end of this week so we can hear her and her hubby play (he was out of town yesterday). I know for a fact I am going to book her, but I want FI to hear how much better the violin sounds with the oboe. Another check off my list!

Oh and I ordered my invite sample kit last night from cardsandpockets.com Once it comes in, I can work on the invite mockups. I am finally getting back into the planning mode.
