Courtney got an early birthday present of a violin. We have been renting her violin for three years, and were able to save up a bunch of money through the rental company. With that money, and money given to us from grandma Pack for Courtney's birthday, we were able to get her a brand new violin. The violin rental place not only gave us equity credit for all the time we have rented, but they then gave us an additional 30% off the remaining balance. So we got a great deal.. Sweet!!
Courtney came with me when I picked up the violin because I wanted to make sure it was one that she wanted. She was telling me that she wanted to keep the violin she had been renting because it matched the violin her best friend has. But the rental place didn't have a violin that looked the same as the one we were renting and, in the state of Utah, you can't buy the instrument you were renting. Some weird law that Brian is going to look into. So we had to buy a different violin and the finish on it was darker, and I was nervous buying it without having Courtney see it first. But it all worked out! She was super excited. Can you tell from the picture?
The violin was pretty out of tune, so we found a women in our ward to tune it for her. So now she can play it to her hearts content.
Happy early birthday Courtney!
