The Shafferland Shuffle

I hope you remembered to change your clocks! If not, you're officially late! Come back to read later and GET UP!!!!

* Last Sunday was my last day of being apart from Ryan, and it proved to be the longest day EVER. I worked the cafe at church and he spoke at the retreat. I was so excited to go get him that I ended up getting ready an hour EARLY that afternoon! It was probably close to 8 that night before I got my  hug and kiss and I cried all the way through them both. SO happy to have him HOME!!!!!!!!

* Monday, Ryan took a vacation day, and we spent the WHOLE day together. I felt like I might be coming down with the flu: running a fever and feeling blah, but I tried not to let that kill our fun! We met my parents for lunch, relaxed with Braeya JoJo, watched TV, went for a walk on IWU's campus {they were on spring break so it was quiet and empty} and I did my weigh in for the next round of working out and learned I hit the 20 pound mark on weight loss! YAY!!

* Tuesday morning, I still wasn't feeling very well, so Braeya and I rested while Ryan went back to work. I felt much better as the day went on, and it was just BEAUTIFUL outside, so we went for a long walk after work! The yucky part of the day? Calling the sewer guys to clean out our lines. It was just time for our routine maintenance that we do every year or so. But I always feel weird when I have to call!

* We had noticed that this week the flu seems to have hit our county HARD. Some friends of ours got hit with it Wednesday, so I did a hydration run for them {and shared some oils as well}. So far we haven't gotten it, but I think we both fought it a bit this week! Ryan and Braeya kicked back to watch some videos that night, and I NEARLY died from my workout. This new one is brutal!!!

* Thursday would have been my cat Kaegan's 15th birthday. He died 5 years ago, and I still miss him! I spent the day cleaning up the house for a showing we had on Friday, and when I waterred the plant, I accidentally spilled some water. Before I could get back with a towel, Braeya had kicked into high cleaning gear. Kinda cracked me up! Know what else cracked me up? Face Timing with Ryan at lunch - the whole family!

* Friday turned out to be a chilly, but beautiful day, and when Ryan came home from work, we went for a walk through campus. I took some pictures to make some memories before we move! And while my picture turned out fuzzy, I was SO EXCITED to see the first real green buds on our lilac trees!! WELCOME, SPRING!!!! Please stay!

* Ryan and I went on a date last night - all dressed up! We went out for dinner, and after I saw this picture, I cracked up, because I thought he looked like Wilson from Home Improvement! LOL!! Dinner, coffee, time by the lake, YES PLEASE!
