The Shafferland Shuffle

Happy Sunday! Hope you're having a great weekend! :) It's been lovely so far here in Shafferland. Here's a peek at our week!

* Here's a peek at our church service last Sunday. One of the many things I love about this church is the way they gather around each other to pray. This is not an uncommon sight! We had homemade stir fry for lunch, and I'm not gonna lie: it was delicious! Took it easy all day, too. Naps, computer fun, movies...yes!

* Monday morning was our first day to switch to working out on our own again. We did well! I was proud of us. So proud that I dipped into hazelnut flavoring for my coffee to celebrate! Ha! It was a beautiful day Monday, so we had a nice leisurely walk that evening. So lovely.

* Tuesday morning there was this faint fog right above the ground. Pretty to look at! I worked a bit at the school that day; the administrator was gone, so I was sort of on my own to do projects, but I had coffee, snacks, and shelves of children's books from my childhoood to peruse, so I was good! And then I came home and color coded my Bible! Ohhhhhhhh how much I love it!

* Ryan's work had a party on Wednesday for a couple of ladies who are retiring, so he got to enjoy a good carry-in that day! Wednesday night was our date inspired by the letter P: a pizza and polar pop picnic in the park, followed by putt putt!

* Thursday, I had a visit from my friend Jessica, who used to work with me in Financial Aid. She lives out of state now, but every time she comes back for a visit, she stops in to see me (and Braeya) so it was good to see her! I also worked on a newsletter for my school volunteer project...creativity fun! That night was a gorgeous evening. So much sunshine...I couldn't resist catching it on the ferns out front!

* Friday evening, our church had the first part of a small group leader training, and we went! DELICIOUS food, lots of learning and study, and official shirts!. We are like real people! :)

* Training continued most of the day yesterday! They even had homemade iced coffee and scones for breakfast. (Can the cook just move in to our house, please? I'm a good cook, but she is INSANELY amazing.) When training was over, we picked up Pheebs and brought her home for the evening. She was quite cuddly the whole night!
