The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday morning, we were sitting in Sunday School when the door opened and some of the kiddos walked in pushing a cart full of slices of coffee cake! What a fun surprise! They served us all just as a little Valentine's Day gift...loved it!

Enjoyed a day of rest at home and then Ryan and I went over to his mom's house that evening so I could attend a jewelry party his sister was having! A great day all around!

* Monday evening, Ryan did laundry and asked me HOW it was possible that between the two of us, we have SO MANY PAIRS of black socks? I'm sure I don't know! Maybe because black is our power color??

I'm sorry to say the rest of our night was consumed with our addiction of Love It or List It. Pathetic, really, how much we love that show.

* Tuesday I had a fun first {for me}...sent in an RSVP for the first time ever....for two. I realize it seems like a silly thing but it seriously was so significant to me that I had to take a picture!!

I spent the rest of the night glued to my 2012 scrapbook, which arrived in the mail that day. 150 pages of great memories from last year!

* Wednesday was the start of Lent, so I began reading through the negativity fast study that I'm doing this year. I have to say when Lent begins in February, I have trouble jumping in. It just seems too early!!

* Thursday was, of course, Valentine's Day, and you already saw the recap of that...but I so so SO loved getting flowers delivered to work. Made my entire YEAR!!!

Loved having the chance to spoil and be spoiled this year!

* Friday night Ryan and I went to the first night of our first ever marriage retreat. I had been SO looking forward to it all week! More to come on that later, but check out what we found in our hotel room when we checked in!

*And Saturday we spent the whole day at the marriage retreat...including some great time out with friends of ours. We went to dinner and then out for a coffee date at Starbucks!

 After the coffee date, we came back to the retreat to enjoy Jim Barron's illusion show. {Jim is on the morning team at WBCL....always fun to see his shows!}
