Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
The half bath is done! Andy put up the new light and put both the mirror and wall cabinet back on the wall.
I put everything else back except for two pictures, which I will hang back up on Friday.
Another house project is done and just in time for John’s graduation party!
Our half bath went from this…
…and this in the morning…
…to this in the evening.
It is now fully painted one consistent color! The ugly, torn wallpaper is gone, and there are no more unpainted spots behind the toilet and mirror. We used the lighter leftover paint from our bedroom as the color was very similar to what it was before.
Tomorrow, Andy will hang the new light and rehang the wall cabinet. I will put everything back except for the pictures, which we will hang back up on Friday. We can check another project off our list!
It was a busy day that was largely focused on John. First up was the Ridgeway Elementary Senior Walk. He got to see old classmates…
…including his Unit A “girlfriend” (though they both went to Hickman). There are lots of fun stories with these two from back in the day!
He got to see former teachers. Mr. Gramke was John’s teacher for three years, and he LOVED “Mr. G.”
He also got to walk the halls one last time through all the current students.
It was such a fun event, and John was glad that he went. After this was over, we headed home for some work and final preparations for painting the half bathroom. The paint will be done tomorrow, and then everything goes back in place just in time for John’s Graduation Party.
We finished out the day at John’s final Court of Honor with Troop 706 where he earned the Outdoor Achievement Award for camping, service hour beads, and three merit badges.
It was a busy day, but it was also fun to get to celebrate John.
We left early this morning to drive to Belvidere, Illinois, to celebrate Addyson’s graduation from high school. She has been around a lot this last couple of years, and I have loved getting to know her. Congratulations, Addy! Even though the Kassels could only stay a few hours today, I am so glad that we got to celebrate with you.
I spent this morning making this for John’s graduation party.
From the first day of Kindergarten…
…to the last day of Senior year, we got here too fast.
SEMO announced the Spring 2026 President’s List today.
Congratulations to Laura! This is the third time she has made the President’s List. We are proud of you!
