The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday we got up early and baked breakfast for our Sunday School! We always enjoy doing that! The blood donation bus was at our church, so after Sunday School, Ryan paid it a visit and donated some blood. I paid it a visit too - but just to wait for him. {I'm a chicken.} After church was over, we joined our Sunday School class for a pizza party, which was a lot of fun - and then we took a nap for the rest of the afternoon. {Embarrassingly long.} Even though it was chilly, we took a walk, and then hunkered down for the night!

 * Monday was a cold, rainy day...spent running through puddles and wrestling umbrellas. After work, Ryan and I went to the gym, where my goal was to run a 5K, and I almost made it...but at the very end, there was a debacle on the track and my concentration got wrecked, and I quit. I was so frustrated!! So we came home and made quesadillas and rested while the rain poured outside.

* On Tuesday I went to this cute little shop that had vintage games...one of which I actually had when I was a kid! {I'm sure it belonged to someone else before me. I'm not vintage!} Ahhhh memories. We had the best evening that night...we went for a run in the evening sun, we ran into our friends John and Sandee and caught up with them, and then we all hunkered down - including Braeya - to watch the Duggars!

* Wednesday evening, after work, Ryan worked on the house we're trying to sell...touching up some paint. While he worked on that, I had dinner with a photography team that has offered to help me with some mentoring so I can apply to be a photographer with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Dinner was very good {Flat Top Grill!} and I learned much from them in our talk. When I got home, I was so stinking excited to see our daffodils finally bloomed! I declare it spring!

 * Thursday...oh my. The debacle I had at lunch! I went out to McDonald's with one of my work buddies, and the two of us got accosted by a man that was either on something...or...something. He was very angry with us and I don't remember the last time I felt that unsafe! I was so glad to get home to Ryan that night! We went out for a run, by way of our favorite construction trailer - with the woman who has been waving for months, and did a selfie with her. HA!! Gorgeous night for a run - and I especially appreciated the chalk congrats on the pavement! Don't know who it was meant for...but YES THANK YOU!!!!

* Friday night - OH MY GOODNESS! We had so much fun! We declared it date night, and it was so so so beautiful outside that we got hot dogs and root beer at the B&K and headed to the park for a picnic and digital scavenger hunt. We had a BLAST! When that was over, we {of course} went for coffee and then came home to finish getting my stuff ready for my speaking engagement on Saturday. What a great night!

* Yesterday was packed and wonderful. Ryan worked, and I headed to Eastgate Community Church to speak at their mother/daughter banquet. Loved being able to share and meet new people! After that, I took pictures at a one year old's birthday party - MAN she's cute! :) Then I drove to Ryan's house to help with some painting, and while we were there, we had an impromptu running date, dinner date, and ice cream date! A long, full day, but so good!
