The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday was SO beautiful. We were able to actually REST for the first time in weeks...months...and it was wonderful. Donuts for breakfast, crock pot soup for lunch, a long nap, and a beautiful, leisurely walk and heart-to-heart talk at the end of the day. I love days like this. This is what Sunday was meant to be.

* Monday, we had an exciting day at work, as the station finally reached its fundraising goal for 2013! The whole year is now paid off, and that is so exciting! We were able to celebrate together on the air, which was great!

* Tuesday evening, we enjoyed a great night at home together. I love the nights when I get home in time to cook dinner before Ryan gets home and it's all ready for him the minute he walks in the door. Perhaps a little June Cleaverish, but it brings me such joy. We even took advantage of the freakishly warm spring evening to take a nighttime walk. {Something I've always wanted to do!!}

* Wednesday night was just YUCKY out. It rained. And rained. And rained. And rained. Ryan and I had a night at home and I had the chance to make another Dashing Dish recipe. {I talked about that website earlier this week in case you missed it.} It was so good -  wanna see a picture? This is taco meat loaf.

* Thursday, Ryan spent the day doing all sorts of errands, and in the middle of the day, I got a text from him that said, "Can't wait for you to come home" - along with a picture of these.

Oh I loved that. He makes me feel very loved. :) We worked hard on the house again - we're still sorting and finding homes for things - and sending loads of stuff to the mission. Major purging parties!

* Friday night we enjoyed a date night at home - with Chinese takeout and a movie. It was SO cold and wet out that we really had no motivation to go anywhere except tucked under a blanket on the couch. We chose from our DVR'd movies and had a great night!

 * And yesterday we worked our fool tails off, trying to do yet MORE cleaning on the house. We cleaned out the spare bedroom {which has been just shy of recruiting an intervention since we got engaged!!!} and brought over Ryan's living room furniture from his old house to make ourselves a little den. We did lots more sorting and organizing - and last night I got to curl up and work on my speaking engagement notes right here in our latest nest:
