Meet the Shaneyfelts

Dustin

Friday Favorites!!

It’s the end of the work week and this is me today:

That will partly be because tomorrow I’ll be mailing off my portfolio to my professor as part of my internship requirement for my master’s degree.  It took me MONTHS to complete that portfolio and all I want is for it to be mailed off and out of my hands!!  That is my number one FAVORITE for this week!!



Another FAVORITE fact:  I have two more homework assignments and one final and I am done with grad school for the rest of my life!!!!!  (Hopefully ha)



Tonight, the women’s ministry that I am involved with at my church is hosting a paint party.  The money raised will go toward the mission expenses of two girls from my church who are doing long-term summer missions this year.
This is the cute picture we’re painting and is a FAVORITE because I’m going to put it in my classroom!  And my bestie is leading the class so I can’t wait to get to hang out with a bunch of great ladies!


I had a student give me this yesterday morning for me to put up in my classroom–isn’t is great?!  My FAVORITE is the quote right under the pop-up book!

I also had a student give me a painting of a deer that she had made–I’m framing that and putting it up in my house 🙂  


And my last FAVORITE for today….
Dustin went to his diabetes doctor yesterday.  Sometimes I’m able to take off work to go with him, but I didn’t this time.  I told him to be responsible and this is the Snapchat that I get in response…
Yes, this is who I’m married to haha!

(And the Mrs. Felt part, since I’ve been married, multiple people have assumed my last name is Felt???  No, it’s Shaneyfelt and it’s one whole word–so strange!  So it’s now an inside joke for us.)

Weekend Recap!

This weekend ushered in what felt like a permanent spring-like weather!  I kept a warm weather candle burning all weekend, and with the sun shining,  I was in a great mood all weekend!

FRIDAY

 I met this cutie at Panera when he got off of work to eat supper.  He’s trying to eat healthier, so he’s got a broth bowl and a salad.

Then I went to Walmart to do some grocery shopping.  And the strangest thing ever happened there:
Me pushing my buggy in front of an older man: Excuse me….sorry!
Older Man: Wow!!  You look like you’re straight out of the 60s!
Me (really confused and laugh nervously): Oh haha thank you?
Older Man: No really!  You look like my “first girlfriend” from 1960.  Same hair, same glasses, everything!  <—he whispered the girlfriend part in front of his grandson haha
I walked off laughing and immediately called my mom who got a good laugh out of it.


SATURDAY

 I finished up my grocery shopping at Kroger after meeting my dad for an early breakfast at Cracker Barrel!



 I did a little Pinterest browsing.



 I ran down to the park to meet up with Rachel and Ralph for a walk.  We ended up walking for an hour.  I love spending time with my sister!



And then she drove me home because my legs were tired 🙂


SUNDAY

Sunday started off with a beautiful Easter music program at church.  My sister, Rachel, had a solo and it was AMAZING!  If you’re friends with my on Facebook, then you saw the video I posted of it yesterday.  It made me cry–not only because Rachel sang it so beautifully, but because the words were so powerful.


 That afternoon I went to the laundromat to wash our bedding.  We have all white bedding and so it just needed a good wash to make it super white again.  While I waited, I studied for my Praxis.  You know how they have a People of Walmart site?  Well, I’ve decided they need a people of the laundromat site–interesting crowd!



 Rachel and I rode together to Bath and Body Works to take advantage of the last day of the candle sale!!  I added a Coconut Mahogany and another Georgia Peach candle with a kitchen soap.



And we enjoyed some time on the back porch after Dustin got off work yesterday evening.  I can’t wait until it stays warm and we can carry our supper outside.

This weekend was laid back and perfect!
How did you spend your first weekend in April?

A Spring Break Day Trip

Can I just start this out by saying that I cannot believe it’s already Wednesday and that the week needs to slow down–I need more time off!  I’ve booked my week with so many things that I feel like I don’t have time to go back to work haha 🙂  I’m sure Dustin would agree 😉

Yesterday we left the house bright and early and headed to Nashville for the day.  The weather was perfect even though it started off chilly.  The only negative was that the wind was insane at times…..meaning my hair was difficult to brush last night.  I’m so glad we live close enough to be able to take a day trip.

We stopped off in Franklin, Tennessee, first to walk around their downtown and eat lunch.  I love Franklin!  Janie and I went one time in high school and walked right by Leann Rimes when she was still married to her first husband!  I remember being so starstruck and that he skin looked really smooth, and poor Janie never noticed her because she was talking the whole time!

  One of the stores that we stopped in was this gorgeous home interior store only to realize that we couldn’t afford anything.  Sorry, not paying $3500 for a mirror!

Lunch was at Puckett’s and it was so cute inside!  I got the strawberry field salad with grilled chicken and Dustin got the Philly sandwich with chicken.  The atmosphere was so fun!

**I would also like to note that I walked right past Anthropologie in downtown Franklin and did not go inside.  Dustin says I deserve an award, and I think my reward should be clothes from Anthro haha!



 Then we went to West End in Nashville to tour the Parthenon.  I was excited because it was used to film scenes in the Percy Jackson movie, but I learned so much about the building while touring it.  The lady in gold is Athena.



The bottom level was an art gallery.  One exhibit was paintings from Grimm’s Fairytales.  Guess who enjoyed that more? ha!



 It was such a pretty day!  I wish we had brought a blanket to sit on and relax on the lawn.  Actually, I wish I had brought running clothes because so many people were running in this park.  We both agreed that this would be a great area to live.


Then we headed to 12th South!

 First stop: Jeni’s.  
I allowed the diabetic to get a small cup of ice cream.  #givemoreinsulin



 I got a scoop of salted peanut butter and chocolate flecks and a scoop of praline and cream.  I can’t pick which was better–I liked them both equally!

Then we walked around, and I made sure to take us straight to Draper James!  Dustin loved the store and picked me out a romper he liked and wanted me to get.  I tried it on, but it was too snug in the chest–so sad!

While I was in the dressing room, he overheard that Reese comes in once a month to check on the store and meet with her head fashion designer.  I would die if she had walked in while we were there!

We did LOTS of walking, and my fitbit thanked me!

We stopped in Cool Springs on the way back to grab a quick bite for dinner.  Overall, we had a really fun time and I was so glad the weather cooperated! 
Linking up with Jenn and Jess today!
