financial advisor

As we all know, "saving money" is always easier

said than done. I started my 'saving money' journey immediately

after Christmas shopping ended...so December 23rd? :)

And I'm getting ready to hit my first big

milestone: 1k!

So this past week I decided I really

want to be a financial advisor...for my friends!

Mainly help them think about what they really

need, what they want to do with their lives,

find what's important to them,

and how to plan accordingly.

The same day this idea came to me,

my long time friend Bailey, called me to let

me know she is participating in a 13 week course

by Dave Ramsey, about saving money!

Part of the first class was about reaching out to someone

in order to have an accountability partner, and

she asked me to be hers! :)

Each week she will blog about her classes

and I hope you can read them and

send her positive encouragement and

hopefully you too, can start your own saving

money journey and be able to not only accept your

current financial state, but be content with what

you have and plan for a brighter future!

And of course I'd love to help you on this

journey, as well!

here's to saving money!

visits

This weekend Hannah and Yoric stopped by

for a visit on their way to north georgia.

We haven't been able to visit with them for a while

since we live so far apart.

(they live in valdosta)

Overall it was a great day and very much needed!

love my sweet friends.

looking forward to our trip south

in a few weeks!

valentine's day

Happy Valentine's Day to all you love birds out there.

This year hd and I celebrated yesterday together.

-mainly, it was 'spoil kelsey day'- :)

We started the day with lunch at Outback

followed by cupcakes at gigi

two games of bowling (which hd kindly beat me at)

and finishing the day with a pedicure! (for me!)

Overall, I would say it was a success day!

How did you spend your day with your loved ones?

iron man

Back in October, hd participated in "Spooktacular"

and won the grand prize!

Last month the statue made its way into hd's hands!

Meet his new roommate/8-year old son....

Last night we had an early birthday celebration for me!

We had dinner at Taco Mac followed by

Thanks friends! Yall are the best! :)
