The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday, we were able to attend church with our friends, Frog and Jenna, before we came home. They lead a congregation of really sweet people who made us feel very much at home during our visit! After lunch, we headed home and spent the rest of the day driving and enjoying hours of talking and dreaming together!

* Monday, we had the day off and we enjoyed THE most beautiful day of rest. I don't know that we've ever had a day off work where we relaxed so much! {We did go to the gym for the first of our structured workourts.} We slept in, caught up on DVR'd shows, I scrapbooked, Ryan watched football, and I read this entire book in one sitting.

* Tuesday, I returned to work and spent most of the day moving back into my office. It felt so good to be back home, even though it's still not home yet. I still have more work to get everything all organized. This was the first order of business in making it home:

* Wednesday night, Ryan told me he was going to "do some work on the bathroom." {You know. The one we just redid?} The tub had a leak in it - so when I came home...well...you could sort of see through the wall. He is nothing if not thorough. As you might imagine - this led to an extensive date to Lowe's.

* Thursday night I survived more working out at the gym...and then we came home for a delicious dinner of two Dashing Dish recipes. Enchiladas and a cookie!! :) Ryan got to play with his saw for a while - still working on the bathroom. And Braeya decided to use the corner of our new bathtub surround as a teething ring. You can imagine our amusement.

 * Friday evening, we went on a surprise impromptu date! We had dinner at home, but decided to use one of our gift cards to go out for dessert. So...we headed over to the Cracker Barrel and ordered coffee and apple dumplings. Ummmm someone should have mentioned HOW HUGE those dumplings are! We could have shared!! No worries though - apple dumplings for the weekend = goodness!

* Last night, Ryan and I worked the Jeremy Camp concert in Fort Wayne. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a night of worship so much at a concert. We got to be in there for most of his part, and it was wonderful! We really appreciated his genuine spirit. SWEET artist.
