The Shafferland Shuffle

* We got out of bed last Sunday morning, despite the time change, and still made it to church early enough to enjoy a little coffee date in the cafe before church. Sunday afternoon, I went to a bridal shower for my friend Katy - and a beautiful bonus was getting to see Christina!! We were college roommates, and I don't think I've seen her in about five years! After the shower, Ryan and I took a ridiculously long nap...and all too soon {literally} our weekend was over. :(

* Monday we went back to driving to work in the dark...sadness! But when the sun finally DID come up - MAN was it ever a gorgeous day!! And so warm. Ryan and I actually went on a lonnnnnng walk that night - our first one of the spring. Loved it so much. We have some of our best talks on our walks. And when we came home...we worked on our house. OUR house!! Putting it back in order. Happiness abounds. We needed a night like that after the chaos of the past few weeks.

* Tuesday wasn't quite as sunny, but it was warm and wonderful in every way...hard to believe that I had to pack up a stack of work to bring home because of the threat of another snow storm!! And in the pre-storm evening, I worked up a storm at home...cleaning, cooking, doing my nails {experimented with polishing the entire nail with the French tip color}. Ryan came home from working at the other house...and took a well-deserved evening of rest. And Braeya? Well. She played neighborhood watch.

* Wednesday morning was pretty clear when we got up, but we made the decision for me to work from home because of weather threats. Turned out to be the absolute right call! When the bad weather arrived, it came in a HURRY. Ryan crept to work and I worked from home - even co-hosted Mid-Morning by phone!Working from home is AMAZING, because no commute means housework actually gets done!! Laundry...dishes...cooking...decorating...those two hours were put to really good use. 

* Thursday I was back in the studio...surrounded by the most GORGEOUS snow-covered trees....and I did my first ever true solo hosting of Mid-Morning. Lynne was gone, so Jim Barron of the morning show co-hosted with me. I was SO NERVOUS but it all worked out okay - even though we had major phone issues for the first 45 minutes of the show! Thursday night, Ryan and I met with the realtor to get his house on the market!! She's sweet - and hopefully she'll find the perfect buyer for us.

* Friday the weather warmed up again {hello WEIRD INDIANA WEEK} and the snow started to melt - just in time for the weekend! SWEET! We were so POOPED from our week that we just stayed home Friday night, took a nice long nap, and then had popcorn while we watched Up. Y'all, we are Carl and Ellie. We are.

* Yesterday was the first day since our vacation that we got to just go out and have fun and do whatever we wanted! OH how we'd missed that! We decided to do one of our county tours - and we did our very own county! I'll tell you more about it this week, but let's just say it included coffee, ice cream, and Garfield. A gorgeous, semi-warm, totally wonderful day together.
