The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday afternoon, I got a little caught up on my scrapbook. I was behind!!  {And I still am...but less so now.} We took long naps and I made peanut butter cookies right before a HUGE storm rolled in. Have I mentioned how much I love Sundays? So thankful we've enforced a day of rest on those days.

* Monday I started cleaning off my desk. I knew it was going to take me a while to sort through everything and cart it home, so I started early. Looks so naked without pictures!! Ryan and I went for a run after work. Looks like I'm still chasing him! :) And after dinner, we cleaned up our garage. It was a MESS. We still have a lot of sorting to do, but at least we can stomach it now. And walk through it!

* I loved this picture from Tuesday morning. Braeya likes to sit on the bed and watch Ryan brew the coffee every morning. And Tuesday she wanted to play games while they waited. So darling. After work, we grilled out, and ate in the pirogi. And I gathered up all my work clothes and bagged them to return them. Is it weird that my two favorite coats were from work, and I would have found them capsule-worthy? I will miss them!

* After some pretty nasty weather this week, the drive in to work Wednesday was STUNNING. I won't miss the commutes, but I will miss pretty drives. {I'll still be up early enough to see the sun.} This day, I also did my final interviews {short ones} at work during my last Spots and Spotlights show. They went well, and I'm thankful those two guests made the last day great! And that night, Ryan and I cuddled up on the couch to watch our DVR'd shows from the week.

* Thursday morning, our office was so muggy, my water bottle was POURING sweat. That is just WRONG. I got a sweet, sweet, sweet letter and gift box from a listener named Shoshannah. She sent me Cadbury eggs. THANK YOU!!! And that night, Ryan and I lost a few hours of our life in cell phone stores, trying to get my post-work plan all straightened out. So long and mentally maddening that it drove us straight to Culver's for dinner!!

* Friday {to conclude the longest week ever, I'm convinced}, we got pizza and breadsticks and spent the evening at home. My friend Brent Vernon was in concert in Atlanta, Georgia with the fabulous Babbie Mason, and the church where they appeared streamed the concert live online, so we hooked the computer up to the TV and had a great, free Friday night date concert. Brent did such a good job. Proud of him! And while we watched, Ryan put together my new office chair, which I got with my birthday money. It's an exercise ball chair. I love it!

* Yesterday, I got up early and went to work with Ryan so I could be in Kokomo to take pictures for Michael's graduation open house. {He was the one whose graduation I photographed last week.} I hung out at Ryan's work for the morning, and we ate leftover pizza together in the hospital dining room at lunch. Ryan even scrounged a flower from another table so we could have ambiance. :) When he got off work, he came to the open house to be with me, and after we were done working, we went out for dinner at Applebee's! Long day...but a good one!
