🌿 These are the moments I never want to rush 💛 Walking down the alley to the pool with my kids… no big plans, just time together. Small town life has a way of slowing things down and reminding me what really matters. And in those quiet moments, I’m always reminded— it’s not just about today… it’s about making sure they’re taken care of no matter what. Life insurance isn’t always the easiest thing to think about, but it’s one of the simplest ways to protect the people we love most. #SmallTownLife #MomLife #LifeInsurance #ProtectWhatMatters #RuralLife #SummerNights #PlanAhead #Thrivent See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

These slower summer days don’t last forever… and honestly, they’re some of the best moments. Between things like doing nails, ballgames, and just being together—it’s a good reminder of why we do what we do. Taking care of your family isn’t just about today—it’s also about making sure they’re protected no matter what. If it’s been a while since you’ve reviewed your life insurance, this is your sign to take a quick look. It doesn’t have to be complicated. #FamilyFirst #LifeInsurance #ProtectWhatMatters #MomLife #SummerDays #FinancialPlanning #Thrivent #RuralLife See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

More highlights from May - Lutheran School Field day for Lydia's son Dietrich! Watching him get ready to run the relays was such a good reminder: just show up and give it your best.

We wanted to share more of what’s been going on in May! This month we were grateful to support “Round‑Up Applause: A Spring Recital of Giving” with Jubilate Deo Music Academy (JDMA) at St John Lutheran Church in Palmer, KS by providing snacks and treats after the performances. Kaitie from our office is a student of the academy and her first piano performance! We included a picture of her fan club along with the other students that performed. Admission encouraged spare‑change donations collected to support Swaddling Clothes, a local ministry that helps families by providing items like maternity and baby clothing, diapers, formula, and other essentials. Be on the lookout for their fall recital November 14th, 2026. We hope you can join us for it. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

May has been busy over here, and we wanted to share what’s been going on! One of our favorite highlights this month: Brick Street Financial had the opportunity to sponsor Ms. Keesecker’s 6th grade class at USD 108 Washington County Schools as their Classroom to Careers sponsor. They stopped by for a tour of the office and got a peek into the day in the life of a financial advisor. Lydia shared what it looks like to serve families and help people work toward their goals, and Kaitie taught a fun lesson on investing and compound interest (because small steps over time can really add up!) 📸 Photos 1 and 2: Students learning in the conference room 📸 Photo 3: Group picture in front of the office We love partnering with our schools and helping students connect classroom learning to real-world careers!
