~ Ode to the Signature Wall ~

(This post is dedicated to Jeffrey Edward. lol)

Before I forget about it, here are some pictures to commemorate my signature wall (that's now been painted out with gray)!  ...In March of 2009, Mom and I painted the blues and the yellow stripe, and I painted cute little daisies all over it. ("Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?" -Kathleen Kelly, You've Got Mail)  Through the next 8 years, I had everyone who came to visit "sign the wall" in the yellow strip! 

Josh Lewis was the only person to go outside the yellow, with his doodle of the rock climbing guy trying to get onto the wall! lol (Top left below) Laura and Melody's signatures make me happy. And I'm glad Jairus signed the wall. Dad adding "Go Pokes" makes me laugh! Precious Grandad signing with G.D. also cracks me up! Aww, memories of when Cassie and I tried P90X at the same time!  And I love Hayley being excited about my Wonder Years' pic of Kevin and Winnie! =)

Oscar wanted me to sign again after running the full, but instead of miles, he wrote 26.2K, so I signed it after one of my Halfs! lol  Ruth's signature makes me happy. Karli signed when she was still a Weatherford, and Chet added that it was at his bday party! lol  K-Lamb wrote an ode to me, then Jon later crossed out Lamb and changed it to Foster. lol  JEM signed the first time he came over for dessert after our Valentine's Eve "Lonely Heart's Club" dinner at Johnny Carino's! LOL 

Tall Kyle, Charlene, Bobbi, Michael Liebe, Jenna (who I think was the last person to sign the wall - myself being the first), Angie, etc. My Aunt Nancy Claire signed it "To Claire... Love Aunt Claire" =)

My signature, Carl's lovely drawing, Mom's signature (same day as mine - 2nd one on the wall), Nater-tot celebrating our LG ice cream party, Tiffany, etc.  The random "You are a ★" from Lindsay Morris makes me laugh!

Josh Parrish when they came to the Jenks Aquarium (before they were engaged). Michael Wilson and Sarah Heiskell back in the day, Natalie Reid, Kim Dean, my 2009 roommate (whose opinion of me has drastically changed), Dentist Neil, JoBug, Jay, Brittany Bolt drawing the Jamaican flag, Chettles quoting LifeChurch and drawing the workout girl in heels!  =)

The bulletin board, TV, mirror, and TV pics all stayed. After checking with several different friends and family who didn't seem interested, the bike and treadmill were finally donated to the Salvation Army.

JEM:  "So did you just decide, like, 'I'm done!'?"
Me:  "Yeah, I'm done with all these people!!  ...No, I just wanted a fun change, but trust me, I documented it all!"
... after telling Chet about it....
JEM:  "I know this probably won't affect you as much because you're like..."
Chettles:  "Out with the old!!" lol

Anyway, yay for my 8 years with the bright signature wall, and yay for the new look of that room now!!  The boundary lines of that yellow border are still so clearly there when you get close to the wall, so I may do some other kind of border around that room someday. =)
