The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday we took in the third day of our anniversary getaway...by attending the Colts game in Indianapolis! They played Tennessee, and while it wasn't the best game ever played in the history of football, it was fun to go...and fun to WIN!!!

* Monday was our first anniversary! Like the official, actual anniversary! We celebrated with a trip to the Christmas tree farm, where we picked out a new tree! That evening, we came home, watched our whole wedding video {do you know it's almost an hour long?} and ate cupcakes...and drank coffee, of course!!!

* Tuesday my eating and sleeping schedule was completely messed up from the long weekend...so by the time I came home from work, I felt pretty lousy. Ryan ran to the store for us so I could get a tiny bit of rest, but we are used to shopping together, so we {are you ready for this?} did our grocery shopping via FaceTime, with me at home and Ryan at the store. Apparently he got some really weird looks.

* Wednesday night, after we got home from the gym, we watched Christmas Vacation together. Or at least we started to. One of us fell asleep halfway through!! It was our only night we had at home to rest this week, so we made the most of it!

* Thursday was a LONG work day for me - but a fun one! The station hosted a BeadforLife party {more on this later} - from 11-7, so I spent the day with all my co-workers, meeting the people who came to shop! And it's possible I took a few ton of pictures! I didn't get home from work until 8:45 that night, but I had to start watching The Sound of Music Live right then!

* Friday night - yes a full WEEK into December, Ryan and I finally got to start decorating!! We dragged all the tubs out of the attic and spent the evening decorating just the first tree - the live one we bought on Monday, which is "our" tree. It was a fun night! We played Christmas music and enjoyed reminiscing about the ornaments we've collected since getting married. Fun!!

* Saturday, Ryan had to work, so my friend Amber came over to spend the day with me, and we worked hard on more trees! By the end of the day, with Amber's help and Ryan's help when he came home, we had seven trees up and all the Christmas tubs put away. Love it!! Want a sneak peek?
