 The second half of 2017 included some pivotal moments for Kelsey, most significantly, starting to WALK! She was a late walker at 19 months, but once she was going, she was GOING. My first cousin, Blake was married in Asheville, and Kelsey was the most adorable flower girl in the world. I went on a company ladies trip to Pigeon Forge, TN and had THE BEST TIME and made some great new friends across the country with N2. Meemaw had a bad fall, and ended up coming to the Triangle to rehab, and right before going back to Holden Beach, stayed with us... I hosted my first big holiday at my house, Thanksgiving, with holiday "china" and all! Bad news was I was SICK AS A DOG with about 18 people eating at my house. I didn't even change out of my pjs. Cute girls on July 4th In August, we hosted a cookout and had about 40 people come. It was hot as hades, but super fun! Kelsey and mommy get away to the Mosses' river house

To kick off 2017, I had a work conference AT Disney, so Jim came and met me for a few fun days! Kelsey turned ONE! In April, I had a conference in Chicago, and in May started my own networking group called Networking Today. It went well for a while. In June, I went with Staci and her girls to the old Land of Oz theme park in Beech Mountain. Overly hyped but still neat. I feel like the days are busy and overwhelming since having Kelsey but not much exciting stuff to report really. Just making it through day by day. Parenting is HARD y'all.  Enjoy pics below and see captions for more tidbits. SQUIRREL! Boycotting Hall of Presidents until Trump is out of office.
