The Shafferland Shuffle

* Last Sunday was our 46th monthiversary, and we were excited it fell on a weekend, so we could spend time together! We went to church, made a pizza together, took naps, watched football, and even made an evening run to the Hydration Station so we could have frosted caramel apple drinks. {Those are, incidentally, incredible.}

* Monday was a CRAZY foggy morning in town. I'm not sure I've ever seen that much fog INSIDE a town, actually. I had to do my carpool job, so I drove carefully, and wouldn't you know - by the time I got to the OTHER side of town, it was clear! Crazy! Worked on writing all day and then it was time for family workouts {don't let this one fool you; she did NOT work out} and the application of much Thieves oil, as I could tell I was fighting something, and I wasn't happy about it. 

* Tuesday was our 4th engagementversary. but it was also Tuesdays at the Table night, so we didn't have much time for celebrating on our own. We had Ryan's grandma and her husband over for dinner, and it was their first time to see our home since we moved! Fall breakfast for dinner, with an egg casserole and pumpkin pancakes: delicious!

* Wednesday was another writing day for me, broken up by the arrival of the Bicentennial Torch Relay. I'll fill you in on all that tomorrow, but it was fun to be part of a smidgen of history in the making that day!

* Thursday, there was a big carry-in at Ryan's work, so I made a taco dip and took that over {and then stayed to munch on a few snacks}. My parents have a little project they need to have done at their house, so that night, we went supply shopping with them and they treated us to dinner! Win-win!

* Friday was a sick day for me. This cold I've come down with is so weird. It skipped right over the stuffy head and snotty part {fine with me...I hate that part anyway} and went right to congestion and coughing. While I don't feel bad, I also can't sleep because of the coughing, so by Friday morning, I was worn out. Ryan told me to stay in bed, and I did!! Worked on scrapbooking projects and took it easy all day. He even ordered pizza so I didn't have to cook dinner!

* Yesterday we had a wedding in the family! Ryan's cousin Noelle got married, so after he got off work, we drove to Indianapolis for the wedding! Got to hang out with his family and even play on the playground with the kids, which is always a bonus! :) Great way to end the week!
