The Shafferland Shuffle

Spring has sprung! We are excited to finally enjoy some warmer temps. And we are excited for a couple of fun (Busy! But fun!) weeks coming up! Here's what we were up to this week!

* Last Sunday, we went to a birthday party for my best friend's Lynnette's grandma. She turned ninety! While we were there, we got to hang out with my friend Faith and catch up with her, so that was fun! We came home and got busy cooking dinner, because after the party ended, Mark and Lynnette and their two dogs came over to hang out with us and spend the night! We actually had nice weather and got to take a walk through the neighborhood! It was a fun day of friendship.

* Ryan decided to take his birthday off work this year, so his co-workers celebrated him on Monday instead. Treats for days! We were in the middle of lunch when he got the notification that gas was going up, so we jumped in the car that very minute (I didn't even have shoes on and wasn't about to let go of my coffee) and hurried to beat the gas hike. Monday was also the day my biggest plan for Ryan's birthday fell apart completely, as did I. He felt so bad that he surprised me with beautiful flowers, which I'm still enjoying!

* Ryan turned 39 on Tuesday!! Even though the day was not at ALL what we planned, it still turned out to be a fun day, and we enjoyed getting to spend time together. We went to Indianapolis, ate at Giordano's pizza, and had fun walking around, enjoying a coffee date, and of course - opening presents! I'll give you the full recap soon! :)

* Apparently a day of celebration means the next day you have to be a responsible adult, because on Wednesday I had to go back to the podiatrist. I was the youngest person in there by about 40 years. LOL! (And I actually fell asleep in the treatment room waiting on him!) I did a 5K of hills on the treadmill that night, and look what we found in our yard! BLOSSOMS!!!!!!!

* Thursday was such a beautiful day, though I confess I wasn't sure about being stuck behind this precariously packed tractor going ten miles an hour! Ryan got a post-birthday cupcake that night, and we both thought it was pretty appropriate that it featured Goofy! And he was most excited that his new mower-blade-sharpening tools arrived. He holed up in the garage sharpening and watching the NFL draft pick. He said it was a great night!

* We had to borrow Ryan's mom's air fryer to cook some spring rolls Ryan had gotten for his birthday, and he was so excited to try out that new toy. Pretty much guessing we'll be putting that on our wish list! :) Phoebe spent a few hours with us that day, and that evening, we got together with one of our small group couples. We went to dinner and had a great time!

* Yesterday we had Phoebe again, so she and I spent most of the day at home working on projects and going for walks! Ryan worked and had just enough time after work to mow the yard before he needed to go help set up for his sister's baby shower. Busy day in Shafferland!)
