Third quarter has come to an end. Here are some key reminders: - Investment statements will be rolling in over the next several days. Make sure you double check what's going in and what's going out. When in doubt, your advisor should be more than happy to explain how to read your statement. Don't be shy, it's your money. - If you've got variable income that requires tax planning, schedule those end of year tax planning meetings with your accountant and advisor now. We want to serve you, but schedules fill quickly! - Change out your toothbrush head and air filter. Let's not be nasty :) For additional disclosures see www.thrivent.com/social

Happy National Son’s Day to these two! Fake smiles and plenty of stink in this picture, as we had just finished our Couch to 5k training run. Parenting is the hardest job we’ve ever had, but it also grows us in ways we never knew possible. We are in the phase of early teendom/tweendom, plenty of ‘bruhs,’ and mood swings all around. But As I told the boys the other night, “you guys are good kids, and we are just trying to help you grow into responsible human beings.” And they are well on their way!

Almost ready for tomorrow night. Two hours for myself and my fellow Guild members to get all the silent auction items organized. Proud to be a sponsor of Autism Action Partnership. The annual gala is one of my favorite events, and I thoroughly enjoy spending the evening with family, friends, and my Thrivent team!

This was the driest we were the whole parade, but we still had a great time at the Otoe Co Parade. Give us a high five if you were able to enjoy one of our mini stroop waffles!
