The Shafferland Shuffle

Good Palm Sunday morning to you!! I asked Ryan to draw the winner for the Mended book, and the name he drew was...Judy Moser! Congratulations, Judy! I don't think I have your address, so if you can email that to me, I'll get the book mailed out to you!

And now...back to my regularly scheduled programming. :)

* Last Sunday, we had a college music group visiting our church; they were excellent! Always fun to have a switched up church morning! We picked up Phoebe on our way home from church so she could spend the rest of the day with us. She and I took a nice, long nap! (Ryan took one too, but she tends to be my girl like Deuce is Ryan's boy.)

* We spent Monday evening working at Ryan's dad's house. More painting for me...Ryan and his dad worked together to hang blinds and trim. We felt like we got a lot done while we were there, so that was rewarding. Though we worked pretty late, we did catch the end of a SPECTACULAR sunset. It made me so happy to see! Sunsets are beautiful.

* Hey, guess what happened on Tuesday? They patched our pothole out front. AGAIN. This marks the third time they've patched it, and while it did last longer than it did the second time (which was one day), it's still not great. Hoping they just redo that entire section of road this summer! I also got an overhaul that day...a hair overhaul! Fresh highlights and no more gray...ahhhhhh.

* Wednesday was book day! I got my brand new commentary for my next round of studying the Gospels, so I was excited about that! I also got to look through my newest treasure, which is the set of McGuffey's Readers my mom used to teach me to read. I'm so excited to have them! Not so exciting? Workout day. I mean that wasn't the only day I worked out, but I wasn't overly excited about that particular one.

* Lookie what I found on Thursday?!!? Almost blossoms!!! So excited!  We worked at Ryan's dad's again that night. My painting didn't get captured, but I'm pretty sure you have a good idea what it looks like. Ha! Ryan and his dad worked on installing a new microwave. Braeya worked on taking a serious nap on top of a freshly washed blanket. Sigh. I guess we always have our areas of strength.

* Ryan and I went out to Culver's on Friday night. We haven't been there FOREVER!!!! We had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for sundaes, and he found out a banana split qualifies as a sundae. It was HUGE!!!! My sundae was a normal size, but we were both miserably full when we were done eating them. So good, though.

* Ryan worked yesterday, and so did I! I took round two of senior pictures for my friend's son. I took the first round late last summer. Poor guy. He HATES having his picture taken and senior pictures have been nothing but absolute torture for him. He was such a good sport about it, but I felt bad for him! After Ryan got off work, we went back to his dad's for another night of work. We're getting there!
