The Kassel Family Project Life 365

The trailer is packed.

We are in the car.

The next stop is Cape Girardeau! The kids move into the dorms tomorrow.

I was browsing Pinterest today and came across this recipe. Initially, I thought that it would be nice to make someday because John will not eat seafood. Then, I remembered that the kids leave tomorrow. Getting used to this new normal is going to take time.

The packing is nearly complete. This is Laura’s side of the hallway.

And, this is John’s side of the hallway.

All that is left is clothes, computers, and a few odds and ends. Andy and I will be empty nesters on Friday. While I am excited for new adventures for all of us, I am still finding it hard to believe that the kids will be living in Cape Girardeau most of the time. It is on to the next stage of life.

I found a grape soap mold on Amazon and then a Merlot Wine fragrance oil at Bulk Apothecary. So, I bought them and decided to make soap for Musket Cellars two-year anniversary. Add in Merlot Sparkle color from Bramble Berry, and I am so excited with how it looks. I cannot wait to give it to them on August 29!

I sometimes think that husband of mine is nuts, but he took apart two different coffee grinders tonight to clean them out. They had both stopped working, but he made them work again. The amount of coffee that was inside both grinders was crazy. Thank you, Andy! I am sorry I doubted you.

While Laura and Jack were enjoying some of Columbia’s best for their six-month anniversary,…

…Andy, John, and I ventured to Kansas City to see the Chicago Cubs play the Kansas City Royals.

Unfortunately, our beloved Cubbies did not win, but it was a still great time at the ballpark. Kauffman Stadium is a great venue!

Just because we do not have kids in the Hickman High School Marching Band does not mean that we cannot go to the Family and Friends preview. I am looking forward to seeing the show this year!
