The Shafferland Shuffle

A year ago today, Ryan and I were in Kansas, celebrating the wedding of my niece, Cassie, to her husband Kasey. How has it been a year already!??!?! Happy anniversary, you two!

This week, things were slightly lower key. :)

* Last Sunday, Ryan and I took our new prayer notebooks to church. We both decided to buckle down and try new methods to keep track of our prayers and what we hear from the Lord. Bet you can't guess which notebook belongs to which of us! After church, Ryan surprised me with a lunch date to McAlister's, which was delicious! We took it easy all day and that night, we candled my ears. (We have all the fun. Don't be jealous.)

* Monday, Ryan didn't quite clear the jump box during our workout, and he ripped up his shin! Poor guy!!! (That did not get us out of working out for the week, by the way. But it still hurts!) That evening we went to a viewing for a man who was one of the guests at our wedding. We had to wait a couple of hours in line, but we also got to see a bunch of old friends while we were there!

* Tuesday morning, I went to meet my friend Olivia at a coffee shop. I also drank coffee on my way to the coffee shop. You are welcome to analyze me if you'd like. Anyway, it was fun to see Olivia. She lives out of state, so our visits are waaaaaaaaaay too infrequent. That night we went to have dinner at Phoebe's house. Her people can cook! We were spoiled!

* Wednesday was our 56th monthiversary, and I made a special lunch for us to celebrate! We ran a few errands that evening and got to spend extra time together, which made us both very happy!

* School started around here on Wednesday, but Thursday was my first day. When I got in the car for my first round of carpool, I found a card from Ryan waiting on me. Ahhhhh, what a great husband! Thursday was also my first day for my new volunteer job at a school. I had fun! In fact, the whole day was fun until evening when tornado warnings showed up. Again.

* Friday morning I got a text from Ryan that said he really wanted a donut. I got right in the car and drove to the store to buy him a donut. THEN I found out what he really meant was there was a whole box of donuts at work and he was trying to avoid temptation. Whoopsie!! Oh well. Friday was a pretty day, but it sure felt like fall. I had to pull out the jeans! I was so brain dead and sore from working out that I mostly hung out with Braeya on the couch!

* Ryan worked yesterday and when he got off work, we went to a birthday party and then out for what turned to be a much longer shopping trip than we planned. We are now well stocked-up on coffee. (We almost ran out of our lunch supply. Can't let that happen.) We stocked up so much (on supplies in general) that we filled up the car seat that now resides in the back of our car! (See the aforementioned carpool runs.)
