The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday, Ryan and I came home from church and took a four hour nap! I think there's a possibility we may have been a wee bit tired. Woopsie! After I was awake again and coherent, I hunkered down on the couch and threw myself full force into working on our reception details. Much to do...and I feel better having started some lists. And...putting the final touches on the invitation.

 

* Monday morning made me wonder if the whole day was going to be a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day. It included spilled coffee, driving {accidentally} through the yard, frozen doors, and then said doors coming open on the interstate. But the day improved...and I loved this pic of my girl and my man. {For the record, she HATES being held and yet somehow let him hold her for several minutes....}

* Tuesday evening I braced myself for a visit to the BMV for a new driver's license with my brand spankin' new name and came away MOST pleasantly surprised that it was a super short visit without one single complication. G.A.S.P. Not a bad picture either, I must say. And that evening, I baked a batch of these bad boys for Ross's {at work} birthday!

* Wednesday night...FINALLY...our wedding pictures arrived!!! We'd been told they'd come after the first of the year...and I mean, I guess technically it is...but to me "after the first of the year" is January 2. :) So I've been running home every night to check the porch for pictures and FINALLY they were there!! Ryan and I tore into them the moment we were home together....sigh of love.

* Thursday night I got a letter in the mail letting me know I'm a potential juror for a coming quarter. That drove me to dinner at Culver's just to cope. Then Ryan and I came home and worked out together for the first time. I think he found it MOST amusing to watch me. Actually he told me he was really proud of me for working so hard. If the utter humiliation of my level two 30 day shred inabilities doesn't foster a desire for improvement....not sure what will.

 * Friday at work, Lynne and I were so excited...because our Etsy order arrived! We got boot socks from Grace and Lace Etsy shop....and they are so stinkin' cute!

That night, Ryan and I went out to dinner at Cracker Barrel. Yes. Two newlyweds on a Friday night with the rocking chairs. We cracked ourselves up!! :)

* And Saturday...ohhhhh Saturday. The day in which we had run about 6 errands before 10 a.m. But we had a busy day ahead...we painted at Ryan's house, which we're preparing to sell. We worked for about 6 hours and got SO much done.

Then we went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant in Kokomo. Cooking with open flame + excess hair product = eeeeek!
