The Shafferland Shuffle

* Well, you already read the details about it, but last Sunday, I had that beautiful encounter with God during worship team practice...

...and then Ryan surprised me with a song during the morning service. It was a great start to the day! We enjoyed the rest of our day together...always trying to squeeze in as much rest as we can before the week starts again!

* Monday I made the horrifying discovery, when I got to work, that my phone charger was at home. This has never happened to me! I had visions of driving around town during lunch just to charge the phone, when Lynne swooped in to save the day with her handy dandy Halo charger! Have you ever seen these? They are chargers that don't need an outlet. Oh yes. I'm getting one of THOSE.

* Tuesday was an eventful day! We had a bit of an ice storm in Fort Wayne and the station tower signal stopped working during Mid-Morning! Nothing like dead air while you're running the board! They eventually got it up and running again! And that evening, as you saw, I rushed around to make dinner for Ryan and may or may not have preheated an oven that was serving as a cabinet at the time. Oh the funny things you don't think about when you mesh lives!

* Wednesday we were rumored to get more snow, so I drove Ryan's car to work again...and wouldn't you know it...it didn't do anything bad! But there was a really cool pattern on the sunroof after the rain!

We spent the evening doing an inventory of all the reception stuff - gathering everything into one room - trying to get all our ducks in a row. You have no idea how many ducks it takes to make a reception!!!

* Thursday evening I spent three hours in the salon chair getting a hair overhaul. Unfortunately I looked so wilty after it was over that I'm not even going to bother showing you the after picture. :) But when I say overhaul...I mean OVERHAUL. Cut, color, thinning, layers, the works! When I got home, I was excited to find our new stone had arrived...for our reception...

* Friday was a long day...with some really hard moments that I don't want to think about, so I won't talk about them. :) Ryan and I spent the evening IN the kitchen...cooking ahead for coming events. I love cooking with him!! And while this may LOOK like a pile of potatoes...it's actually a pile of stones, for our guest book...for the reception. We have to wash them, yet, but we have 'em!!

* And yesterday was our 3 month anniversary!! We celebrated by spending the entire day painting at Ryan's house and shopping for reception food. BUT we did manage to squeeze in a treat of a dinner together at Olive Garden. We tried one of their froofy coffees for our dessert:

Even though we mostly did chores, I loved our anniversary. :) He makes every day special just by being part of it.
