🌺 Aloha from Oahu! 🌴

Our very first big family vacation did not disappoint. We planned this trip for over a year for some much needed time together. From ziplining across the North Shore and e-biking through the breathtaking trails at Kualoa Ranch, to honoring history at the USS Arizona and snorkeling side-by-side with sea turtles 🐢every single day was filled with adventure.

One of the highlights? The luau! The kids made leis, got henna tattoos, danced to live music, and we all sat in awe of the incredible performers (while eating way too much delicious food 🍍🥥).

Of course, we also made plenty of time for pool play, ocean swims, and hunting down the most Instagram-worthy eats and tasty local brews. 🍤🍹

This trip gave us memories we’ll be talking about forever…and has us already dreaming and planning our next big adventure. ✈️🌎💫

So thankful for this time together as a family laughter, adventures, and memories we’ll cherish always. ❤️

2024 you were a roller coaster for sure. Full of ups and downs. Love and loss. Triumphs and hardships. Through all of this the one thing that has remains constant is God's grace and providence.

2024 taught me that the things that I value the most are the things that money can't buy...

✝️ Salvation
❤‍🩹 Health
👫 Family & Friends

Using these values as the foundation for a happier and healthier 2025 😎💪

📣 PSA Veterans: Your VA disability compensation is expected to increase by 3.6% in 2027!

But what does that actually mean for your monthly payment?

I’ve broken down projected 2027 compensation rates by disability rating so you can see the potential difference in dollars.

A few things to know:

* The increase is based on the newly announced 2027 COLA.
* Your actual payment depends on your disability rating, dependents, and other eligibility factors.
* These are projections until VA publishes its final 2027 compensation tables.

🔗 Check your rates: https://lnkd.in/e7rP6UBK

Share this with a veteran who could use the information!

POV: You turn your kitchen into an Italian bistro for your senior’s Homecoming dinner. 🇮🇹🍕✨

Chef coats, custom Italian menus, homemade pizza, fancy mocktails, the whole nine yards. 🤌🏼🍋🍹

And this was a whole family operation. 😂 Isaac was the waiter, Molly was the hostess, I was the food runner, and @andrew_rudd_brewer was, of course, Chef de Cuisine. 👨‍🍳

Major kudos to Andy for being the mastermind behind the entire idea AND cooking an incredible meal. 👏🏼

Because senior Homecoming deserved the full ristorante experience. 🇮🇹 And these are the nights I know we’ll remember forever. 🥹🤍 by @raisingruddlings

Quantico friends — come say hi! 👋

I’m at The Clubs at Quantico today with Deloitte, connecting with transitioning service members and talking about what comes next after military service.

As a #MarineCorps veteran myself, this is one of those events that feels especially full circle. I’ve had the opportunity to build a career in consulting, strategy, technology, and the military-connected community, and I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned along the way.

If you’re here today, come find me at the Deloitte table! Whether you’re actively transitioning, starting to think about your next chapter, or just want to expand your network, I’d love to connect.

And if we haven’t met yet, please introduce yourself. I promise I’m exactly as subtle as this photo suggests. 😂

Happy PSL Day! 🎃☕️

If you know me, you know I LOVE a good Starbucks PSL. I consider myself an OG PSL connoisseur circa 2004, before it was even cool. 😂

I even have vanity plates that say Tall PSL 😬😆🤪

So, in honor of one of my favorite little joys, coffee is on me today! Scan the QR code and grab yourself a cup. It’ll stay live until the funds run out.

Happy Hump Day, friends! 🧡

I can’t believe my baby girl is 17. ❤️

You’re a senior now, and before I know it, you’ll be off on your own, starting the next chapter of your life. But today, I still have you here. Today, you’re still my baby girl and no matter how old you get, you always will be.

Today, we get to celebrate 17 years of you.
17 years of loving you.
17 years of adventures.
17 years of laughter and learning.
17 years of watching you grow into the incredible young woman you’re becoming.

Aubrey, I love you more than you’ll ever know. You continue to amaze me, make me proud, and remind me just how lucky I am to be your mom.

Happy 17th birthday, sweet baby girl. ❤️ I love you endlessly. by @raisingruddlings
