The Shafferland Shuffle

* Well you already saw all about our day last Sunday, when most of central Indiana got hit with a blizzard. Ryan and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed our day of rest at home - staying close to the fireplace, drinking lots of coffee, and playing in the snow. We loved our little snowman, Jeffrey, even though he got rather disfigured before the day was done.

* Monday was a snow day for both of us! YAY!!!! Pretty much every county in the upper 2/3 of Indiana shut down completely, so we stayed home! We slept on the living room floor for a little slumber party, spent the day cleaning our home office, and trying to shovel ourselves out just a bit. By the end of the day, we were both a bit stir crazy to go out, but we were still under a travel restriction, so we curled up for another cozy night at home.

* Tuesday, Ryan had to go back to work, and I stayed home and remoted in to my job. I spent the whole day bundled up in front of the fireplace, guzzling coffee just to stay warm, and constantly checking all the faucets to make sure they were still dripping. When Ryan came home, he exhumed my car and we curled up on the couch to rest for the rest of the night!

* Wednesday I made my back to work and my commute took 2 hours  and 15 minutes in the morning and 1 hour and 55 minutes at night. How can driving be so exhausting? But I had a productive day at work - including helping with a video shoot again! Ryan and I went back to the gym for the first time in a few weeks {our gym was closed over Christmas break} and I was so proud of my run. I haven't run in a while and I did one mile without stopping or dying - which was my goal!

* Thursday morning, it was SO HARD to get out of bed! We may or may not have added a sleeping bag to our bed {which already has fleece sheets, a blanket and a comforter} to stay warm in this mess! But we got up and had another long commute on nasty roads. It snowed a beautiful {yet betrothing} snow that day, and that night, my sweet and romantic husband surprised me by bringing home cupcakes just to make me smile. I love that man! We were so pooped, we just rested the whole night.

* Friday!! We did indeed make it to Friday!! After busy days at work, we spent date night at home on the couch, splitting a Janu-any five dollar footlong {and a treat of a cookie each with our coffee} and watching a movie, and then Ryan put together our new end tables we got for Christmas! We love them! And best of all on Friday - this crazy snow finally started to MELT, making for normal commute times and thawed shower and washer pipes. And {sniff} the demise of little Jeffrey.

* Saturday morning, Ryan worked, so I hung out at home and just enjoyed resting, and then that afternoon, we ventured forth for our grocery shopping {and of course, a trip to Lowe's, where Ryan photobombed my picture of potential office lamps}. That night we curled up at home and enjoyed the Colts game...and to celebrate the occasion, I made cheese and pepperoni stuffed crescent rolls! They. Were. So. Good.
