* REALLY good sermon at church last Sunday. I probably looked like a bobble head in my seat with all my nodding. It was the end of a tremendous series that I really appreciated.
Ryan and I were blissful bums the rest of the day, watching TV, dreaming up vacations, going for a walk on a GORGEOUS fall afternoon, and finishing up with a Polar Pop treat!
* Monday was Ryan's co-worker's birthday, so we began the day by baking a breakfast casserole for her. House smelled so good!
We were excited to come home and find our new roof COMPLETE! One day is all it took to put up the whole thing. So thankful! And the evening did have its hard parts, as you already saw, when we got more delays on the house. We took some time in the prayer chapel to try to continue to get our hearts in line with whatever God is doing here!
* Tuesday night,
Ryan had to attend a continuing education class, so I used the evening to get things done that I
didn't get done on Monday, thanks to the bad news on the house. I came home and tried a new Pinterest recipe for dinner - which was very good, by the way. I decorated the fireplace for fall, finally {it still had apple stuff up} and did some work on the computer with Braeya in my lap. I missed Ryan, but it was a good night!
* Wednesday, for some weird reason, it was SO COLD at work, I'm
never cold, but the minute Lynne left for the day, I snagged her heater and used it until I went home. WHAT?!?!?!?!? Ryan had a long talk with our Greentown realtor when he got home, and I sat inside the house watching intently out the window while he talked on the phone. More waiting. Much. More. Waiting. So we kicked off the next season of waiting by curling up on the couch and watching TV together.
A much needed evening of bonding.
* Thursday, we got treats at work when someone brought us some cupcakes! I decided mine was healthier if I drank water while I ate it! HA!!! After work, I took stock of our backyard, which had become overrun with the start of the fallen leaves...and then
Ryan and I went to the gym for a good workout. I don't know where everyone was, but the room was almost empty, which was GREAT with me! :)

Friday was my day to work at the Habitat for Humanity house build for WBCL. I will have to tell you more about this next week; definitely an interesting day! I helped wrap two houses with Tyvek {a sentence I never imagined writing in my lifetime} and learned a lot about the process they go through at Habitat to make the houses possible for the people! Scored a free frappe on my way home, which made me
very happy. Ryan and I had a low key night at home...pizza and movie night for two tired Shaffers!
* Ryan and I woke up at 10 a.m. yesterday! We fell asleep on the couch at 10 p.m. Friday night, woke up at 3 in the morning, went to bed, and kept sleeping. We were TIRED! We had our first Saturday at home in 6 weeks and used it for our
Habitat for Shaffers day...winterizing the house. BOO. I worked on swapping the closets from summer clothes to winter clothes. Ryan mulched and raked leaves and together, we took down the pirogi...after having one last meal in there. So sad to see summer going away!

Busy week! Kid should start bringing teachers cupcakes (-:
I built with Habitat once - amazing work they do!
So we're not the only ones who fall asleep on the couch, have a 3-6 hour nap, wake up and then go to bed for a couple more hours. Each time we lay down on the couch one of says that we're surely going to regret it later but we still do it. Something wonderful about cuddling and drifting off to sleep on the couch.
Tamar - Oh man, I agree! You deserve cupcakes!! Habitat is amazing...I couldn't believe how much they were able to accomplish.
Tia - isn't it GREAT!?!!?!? The difference between Ryan and me is that I would have stayed on the couch until morning. I used to do that all the time when I was single. Sleep on the living room floor night after night. I'm a dork.
