Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope you are all doing well today. It has been a long, strange week here, but of course we have no shortage of stories! Here's a peek at what we've been up to!
* Last Sunday was photo day for Ryan! He had to have his picture taken for the board member collage. :) We started getting some nasty weather that afternoon, but our speaking event went on as scheduled! We made our way to a little country church and spoke at their Valentine's Day banquet (which I told you about earlier in the week). It was a fun evening!
* Sometimes I get interesting photos during the day - and Monday was just such a day. You just never know what Ryan might be up to over at his job! :) I got a WONDERFUL present from our pastor's wife: my very own Sharpie pack! Monday evening we saw the broom challenge running around Facebook, which we later learned was not the big deal it first appeared to be. Didn't stop us from jumping in, though.
* I got a new computer monitor at work on Tuesday - and it's GIGANTIC! My old monitor was something of a relic, so this one is twice the size of what I had. I told them I was going to try to figure out how to watch Hallmark movies on one half of it. I came out of work that night to find this phenomenon of BLUE SKIES, so I took a picture in case I didn't see that again for a while. We also had a beautiful sunset that night!
* Wednesday morning, one of the pastors stopped by a coffee shop on his way to work and brought in extra caffeine for us! YES!!! Ryan went to the gym that night and brought home a BLIZZARD for me - after nearly driving through one to get it! It was so good! Braeya concurred.
* We were scheduled to get 8 inches of snow overnight and into Thursday, and I had completely convinced myself I was going to get a snow day. It did not happen. I was exceedingly sad to miss out on a snow day, but the snow we did get was SO beautiful!! I even found some robins playing in it that afternoon! Also - ever seen a paperclip order this big? That would be 4000 paperclips, by the way.
* Friday was Valentine's Day, and Ryan went ALL OUT in making it a wonderful day for me. I'll have to tell you all about it in detail later, but he picked me up from work and took me to an Airbnb with a STUNNING view. We had coffee and a delicious dinner and enjoyed a night in the city. I loved every single minute of it.
* Yesterday was our official Marion County tour date, and we had fun despite the cold! We also had Chick-fil-A and an IKEA visit - and a whole fun day together. Alas, by the end of the day I wasn't feeling so well, so I crashed on the couch for the night. Here's to a new week, right?

Can't wait to hear about your Valentine's Day!
I want to know how you all use those 4000 paperclips!!
Feel better!
Where do all the paper clips end up that we have to order more?! Someone must have a huge stash somewhere! (Reminds me of the Veggie Tale silly song!)
Hope you feel better soon!
My eyes zeroed in on that little pretzel bun!
Cute Braeya enjoying Blizzard remnants!
I have not heard of the broom challenge. LOL
Hope you're feeling better soon! Can't wait to hear about your Valentines!!!
Tamar - We are handing out cards with our bulletins at church from now until the end of March, and our pastor asked that we paperclip them to keep them from falling out. If I did my math correctly (which is questionable) I need 4000 to get me through that time span!
Tracy - Somehow, though I know TONS of Veggie Tale songs, I had missed learning that one! I looked it up and have decided it is my current theme song. Truth.
Jinjer - Ryan loves pretzel buns! The broom challenge was running around social media - and at first it said something about it being the right gravitational pull (only that day!) for a broom to stand on end, unassisted. And then later I read that they can do that any day of the year. Ha!
