* I already told you about last Sunday, but in the spirit of recapping our week, it was our 78th monthiversary! We enjoyed the day together - and enjoyed it even more because it was BEAUTIFUL! Ryan grilled our dinner, and we ended the day with a graduation open house for one of our friend's sons.
* Monday evening, we went to work at Ryan's dad's house. Ryan did more sanding and then he went to war with the installation of a vanity faucet. Ryan won, but I heard the faucet put up a good fight. (I just stayed away. It didn't seem like the project I should get involved in.) But I did make some serious headway painting trim!
* Ryan's workplace won a people's choice award, so that news was a fun way to start a Tuesday! (A well-deserved award, I might add. They're all a lot of fun. I felt a little bit left out with the war thing after Ryan's faucet fight on Monday, so I went to war with the hill in our backyard on Tuesday. (Mowing, I mean.) I think I won! That night, we went to an evangelism class at church - learned lots!
* Let's see...I think Wednesday marked the fourth fill of the pothole on our street? Or was it the fifth? A girl starts to lose track after a while. We'll see how long this one holds. We worked at Ryan's dad's again that night. I was back on trim duty, and Ryan did a little bit of everything. OH!!! And I had my first experience applying liquid nails. I didn't accidentally superglue myself to anything!
* Thursday was another bright, sunny day around here; it's been so nice to have a few of those in a row this week! We went to a meeting at church that night and after the meeting was over, pretty much everyone in attendance found their way to a custard stand that neither Ryan nor I had ever tried before! Tin roof sundaes (for us) and great conversations for the rest of the evening!
* Friday began the Shafferland quick getaway, and I have so much to tell you about it! We headed up to St. Joseph, Michigan, where we finally got to meet in-real-life my favorite Bible study author: Erica Wiggenhorn. And when her book signing ended, we made our way over to Silver Beach to watch the sunset. Stunning. And because we did decide to make a weekend of it, we stayed in an Airbnb to round out the night!
* Yesterday was very nearly perfect weather all the way around! We kicked off the morning hiking dunes, had lunch at Silver Beach Pizza, and hung out at the beach for the afternoon. I think I landed just over 22,000 steps by the end of the day (and I'm convinced my Fitbit didn't count some of them during the hiking of the tallest dune) and we were both pooped! But it was a great weekend. So very thankful for two days of warm and sunny to make it extra great!

Yay for a little get away!
I wonder when they'll just repave your street!
Every time I read about your potholes I flash back to the sermon we had a while back by a guest speaker. And the gist of it was dont let your potholes become sinkhole. I am going to have to find the link and send it to you!!!
