The Shafferland Shuffle

What a week!!!!

* Last Sunday, we woke up for our last day at the lake...a half day, really. We did one last walk around town, one last visit to the coffee shop, and then we came home to get unpacked and reorganized before a busy week began! We are always sad to come home from the lake, but we also love being back in our own comfy bed - and our comfy home, which we so dearly love.

* Monday morning, I curled up to edit the podcast, and I think someone was pretty excited to have me back!! I worked hard that day to prep for our next adventure, which was getting ready to head to my niece's wedding! I made a travel binder for us {NERD ALERT!!} and ate salad to make sure I would still fit into my dress when the weekend arrived.

* Tuesday I took our car in to have it serviced and TRIED to read my book, but I kept getting interrupted by the car salesmen! It was our 44th monthiversary, but we were so busy getting ready to be gone that we didn't get to celebrate much. It was good, though, to be together, even if it was a chore-filled day!

* Wednesday, we got all sneaky and headed out for the wedding 12 hours before anyone thought we were leaving home! We left when Ryan got home from work and drove the entire night so we could arrive when the day began on Thursday! We haven't pulled an all-nighter since our own wedding, so apparently it is our wedding travel tradition.

* And my goodness. Were they ever surprised when we showed up Thursday morning! We helped them decorate for the reception, but eventually we had to throw in the towel and come back to the hotel to take a long nap. More wedding guests started arriving as the day went on, and it all started to get real!

* Friday we helped decorate the church, helped fill about 300 bags with puppy chow, and then headed out to the rehearsal dinner, where I was the unofficial evening photographer. My feet were KILLING ME by the end of the day, but it was a fun day!

* Yesterday was the big day! Cassie's beautiful wedding! She made a stunning bride, and once I got past the ugly cry of watching her walk down the aisle, I thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony and the reception was much fun, too! Can't wait to tell you all about it...but first...I must sleep.
