The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday, Ryan and I tried the early service at the church we've been attending. It felt so strange to be all done with church by the time it normally begins for us! But we really enjoyed it...and we spent the rest of the day crafting our new counter tops - which you've already read about, so I won't go back over it. It was a long day but I so enjoyed having the day home with Ryan!

* Monday was Memorial Day, and I had the day off work, but Ryan had to work part of the day. So I hunkered down on the couch for the morning to catch up on DVR'd shows and scrapbook. And when he came home that afternoon, we worked so hard on our kitchen. We painted trim, painted hardware, shopped for new flooring, and did NOT work in the yard since it rained the whole stinkin' day!

* By Tuesday, I was absolutely POOPED. So that evening, Ryan picked up salads at Subway {since we can't really cook right now} and we ate dinner in our pirogi, took a quick nap in the hammock, and then spent the entire night painting the kitchen walls and ceiling. And listened to the Pacers/Heat game on the radio. {I'm learning to be a good NBA playoff season wife!}

* Wednesday evening, we had to go to Kokomo to the funeral home, and we decided to get some chicken and have a picnic after that! It was a warm evening...and so good to be outside together, enjoying some really good food!  {For the record, I really did eat something more than butter and ketchup!}

* Thursday, Ryan was on BLT with Lynne and me! I love, love, love it when he gets to be on the show, which isn't very often. He's so good on radio. :) And we continued the renovation fun that evening with some touch-up painting, faucet installation and of course...the first mishap of the event: a broken pipe.

 * Friday evening, Ryan and I finished up all the little random details from the painting and plumbing {bet you can't guess which of us worked on which thing!} and then, since it was scheduled to rain all weekend, I took advantage of the last part of the evening to plant all the flowers I bought last weekend. Some of them were starting to wilt and I wanted to get them in the ground/planters quickly!

 * And yesterday's exciting news...we now have new floors in the kitchen!! Ryan and Adam worked so hard to install them and I worked hard taking pictures of the process! Can't even begin to tell you how much this changes the look of the entire room. I can't wait to show you the after pictures!
