The Shafferland Shuffle

Happy Sunday! Eager to see what the weather pans out to be here today. They're calling for pretty much everything: snow, ice, rain...everything but tropics! :) Regardless of what happens, enjoy a peek at our week!

* Last Sunday morning, Ryan got to fill in as an usher at church! The usher for our section was gone and one of the guys we met at small group training asked Ryan if he wanted to be an usher for the day. He was the handsomest usher out there! As you already saw, we stayed home for the day after church and we did our own little football party for two that night, complete with delicious food and high blood pressure.

* I'm not sure what it says about me that I voluntarily left the TV on the sports channel after Ryan left for work Morning, so I could watch all the post-game commentary. Who have I become? Our Monday was pretty low-key, but it did not pass without Ryan making me laugh. He always has a surprise up his sleeve that makes me giggle. And our new (CORRECT!) supply of coffee arrived, so we are officially back in business.

* Phoebe's people had to make a quick trip out of town for part of Tuesday, so I went over to play with Miss Pheebs for a while. She was pretty excited to see me, and I won't lie: the feeling was mutual! That evening, Ryan and I worked out with a new weights-driven routine. I'm still in pain. LOL! And we stopped by to visit some friends and enjoy coffee with them. It was a sweet little evening.

* When I went to visit Ryan at the end of the work day on Wednesday, I found him engaged in an arm wrestling match. He won. :) It was hair-upgrade night for me, so I made a whole evening of it. A latte, a new book, a night out for Bekah! :) Ryan took the evening to rest. He was pooped!

* When I got to school on Thursday, I found out the office staff had all gone down with a stomach bug, and I was NOT about to get that if I could help it. So I sanitized the whole office and bathed in Thieves. We tried a new recipe for dinner and hunkered down to watch the beginning of Olympic competition. (Curling and skiing for Ryan, skating for me.)

* Friday was National Pizza Day and I totally forgot about it! How handy that we happened to order pizza for dinner! We also went grocery shopping and Ryan selected our bag of chips. Yeah those are from Sam's Club. So we're set until about November. Ha! I wanted to be sure to be home in time for the Opening Ceremonies, and Ryan slept right through that! (I have a similar picture from the ceremonies four years ago.)

* We had such a fun day yesterday. Can't wait to tell you all about it in full detail! We got to visit our very favorite coffee shop, spend most of the day with some friends, and last night, a Shafferland first! Ryan and I spoke together about marriage - at a Valentine's Day banquet! We had the best time. We didn't get home until about 12:30 in the morning, so we may not be coherent for most of this Sunday, but it was so worth it!
