The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday, after church, Ryan had to finish helping Adam and Sara pack their van to move, and I stayed home to do some writing. And that night, we watched {along with many of you, I'm sure} Nik Wallenda's tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon. I had cold sweats for that. MAN he makes me nervous. But it was so cool to watch!

* Monday night we had a bunch of errands to run and chores to do around the house. One of our errands took us to Lowe's {imagine that!} and we ended up leaving with a new tool box for Ryan! His old one broke and he had quite a mess on his hands. Dorky as it may sound, I was so excited for him to get a new tool box!! I imagine it brings the same kind of joy I experience when opening a new scrapbook....

* Tuesday was blessed hot, and I spent most of the afternoon outside working another Sticker Stop - this time in Marion! This is the first time I've ever worked an event in my hometown and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. I got to see some friends I don't normally run into, and working with Amy and Annie was a blast!

* Wednesday night I had a big ole surprise tucked into my commute. One moment I was scooting down the interstate like normal and all was well, and the next, I was in a complete downpour that made me pull over and sit still and pray hard! I honestly couldn't even see enough to know where I was on the road. God bless the inventor of the rumble strip; I felt that under my tire and that's how I knew where I was!

* Thursday I had the chance to go to a food truck lunch for the first time in my life! Apparently they have a line of food trucks every Thursday in downtown Fort Wayne, so Lynne and I went to check it out! SUCH a fun time! We felt like trendy city girls. :) And I do love a meatball sub, thankyouverymuch.

 * Friday I took another 1/2 day vacation and attended the retirement party for my former boss from IWU. Her name is Gaytha and she was one of my closest friends at the office. I'm excited for her that she gets to retire! Then I went to see my friend Sandee, also retiring this week...and then Ryan and I went on a date!! Our first trip to Outback!!!

* I realized I probably SHOULD be ashamed to admit this...but I'm not. Yesterday Ryan had to work, so I spent most of the day scrapbooking. I started our wedding album and finished 72 pages by the time I went to bed. I haven't cranked out that kind of work since before I got married!! We also got to have dinner with his parents - and unplanned but very wonderful addition to our day!
