The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday morning, I was the guest speaker at Calvary Chapel United Methodist Church in Avilla, Indiana. That's about an hour and 20 minutes from our house, so we had an early morning! But I loved looking out from that platform and seeing my biggest support in the front row smiling at me. I love that man!

We had such a great day together - lunch on the way home, a lonnnnnnnng nap, cookie baking, a bit of a walk, and a wonderful dinner with his parents!!

* Monday evening, Ryan and I worked on swapping out summer/winter clothes in our closets. I realize it's probably 30 kinds of pathetic that THIS was the highlight of my day, but it's true. I've been sick of wearing the same 4-5 outfits over and over again - so I was THRILLED to see all the colorful faves come out of hiding and take up a proud residence in the closet.

* Tuesday was a rainy, yucky, dreary day, so imagine my joy when I found out a listener dropped off CUPCAKES at work just for us?? Seriously - isn't this so springy and cute?

And it was every bit as yummy as it looks. {The little colored pearl looking things were chocolate on the inside. YUMMY.} Thanks, Sugar Momma's Bakery!!!

* Wednesday, I wore my Easter dress to work and every single person who saw me said either "What's the occasion?" or "Have an interview?" Apparently I need to dress up more often. :) Ryan and I sneaked in a quick walk after work and before the rains came...and while out....look what we found!! SIGNS OF LIFE!!

 

* Thursday we were under some REALLY weird weather warnings, so I ended up spending the second half of the day working at home in nasty wind and rain. Technically I was working INSIDE, so I avoided the wind and rain on my person, but I was safe from all the chance of blowing or floating off the road if things got really bad. My view:

 * And by Friday, our general area had seen some of its worst flooding ever. Schools were even closed because so many roads were impassable. I made it to work and that night after we both got home, we went out on an errand running date, which included one of our {truly} favorite things: house dreaming our way through Lowe's with Starbucks in hand. Don't judge us.

* Yesterday was both fun and exhausting. We spent THE entire day running errands all over the state of Indiana - including a stop at Red Robin for lunch. There was a family seated behind us that had a whole passel of unruly kids and by the time they were all done yelling at each other {parents to the kids and kids back to the parents} we were exhausted. Ryan's recovery, post lunch:

Then last night we got together with Ryan's dad's side of the family to celebrate Ryan's upcoming birthday!! VERY yummy dinner!
