Kalleigh did an art project for the Columbiana celebration of America’s 250 years. She got first place and a scholarship. I might be biased but I think it is a really good piece. Haha Appreciate how hard she has worked to apply for scholarships for her college career.

An unexpected illness or injury can change more than your health. Disability income insurance helps provide a monthly benefit if you’re unable to work, so you can focus on recovery instead of financial stress. Planning ahead gives you more certainty when life takes an unexpected turn. Reach out if you’d like to start the conversation.

Day 4-6 at Disney. We found Churro Waffles. Wow! The guy in the yellow vest was outside Magic Kingdom interacting with people headed to the busses. Kalleigh had a pin on celebrating graduation. He was teasing her and said “I see you’re celebrating something, let me guess. Wait you went to school for a long time” she said “yes”, then he said “ Oh I got it, you are celebrating dropping out of school.” He did a bit with her for a few minutes and had us all cracking up. We tried to mimic some statue poses. Who did it best? LOL. The 50’s diner was fun, our waiter even took a selfie with us when we asked him for a family picture. We took a day off the parks and checked out some other resorts, Khloe loved the Ariel section of All Star. We even found a picture of both of the girls favorites in pictures, Ariel and Rapunzel. Another fun couple days with the family. A lot of other desserts were had, but not pictured! 😂

Your income is one of your most valuable assets. An illness or injury can stop a paycheck long before retirement, and employer coverage may not fully replace what you earn. Disability income insurance can help protect your lifestyle if work becomes impossible. Let’s talk about how to help protect what you work so hard for.

Day 2 and 3 of the family Disney vacation. We visited Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We rode Tron, Tiana’s and Guardians among others. The girls actually rode Tron 3 times, if you have been to Disney you know that ride can be 2-3 hour waits at times. It was under an hour that day. We had dinner at Garden Grill that goes around in a circle while you eat. Like dinner on a slow carousel. Khloe got to see her favorite character Ariel. We also took a picture in each of the countries represented in Epcot. Oh yeah and had more desserts! Love those Mickey bars.
