The Pianist

Before I dive into this blog, I wanted to give you guys a quick update.

I, Hailey Spencer ... am excited and nervous to announce to everyone that I am .... a BYU graduate! *cue chorus of angels*
But seriously, it has been one of my life goals to graduate from BYU and now I can say I've done it. While it feels bittersweet I'm excited for the new opportunities that are sure to come.

Also, this weekend Chad's aunt Jeanette hosted a nieces and nephews dinner, which she does yearly. It was awesome.




And my dog's adorable.


And my second brother is home from France. Yay.
And there is snow falling on our blog.



Now on to The Pianist.

My sweet, adorable husband is a piano teacher. He  currently has six students, and last night they had a Christmas recital. Well, the kids were uber cute and they all adored Chad. I loved watching the dynamics between Chad and his students. As each one was playing he looked like a proud father. It made me very happy to see Chad like this. It drove my mind to how he'll be when we have kids, and what kind of dad he'll be. He'll be amazing.



Chad even got to perform. Fantastic, even though he said it wasn't very good ... DISCLAIMER - the piano is really out of tune and the keys are weighted weirdly. (That probably makes sense to 2% of you, no I don't know what that means either.)

Joshua James

Last night after a long day at work my loving, dear husband surprised me with tickets to see:

JOSHUA JAMES!

If you've never heard of this amazing singer and his band you are missing out on a musical feast. They're like Mumford & Sons but with more rock n' roll. All I can say is I was stoked to be going! Last night and TONIGHT they are performing at Velour to promote their new album. Other than the huge heard of hipsters, and me forgetting to dress like one, the concert was ahhhhhmazing! I loved it! More than Chad even knows, and he's not into that music at all. What a trooper to take me. If you haven't heard them check them out here: JJ  (He's really not as folky as it sounds.) But really buy the album, it won't let you down.

This is Joshua:



Who looks a lot like 30 Seconds to Mars' Jared Leto:



TONIGHT, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2012 is the last night they'll be in town for a while. If you're reading this and want to go, text/fb/call me and I will be there in a heartbeat! It was that good.

Thank you Chad for surprising me with these tix and making my night. Swooooooon.
