Life with Kelso

Whew, what a year. I cannot believe at how bad I am at keeping up with this 😅

Let’s talk life – this year has been flying by! I feel as though I have had nothing going on or to do, but at the same time, have so many things that are on my roster.

Let’s recap 2025:

• January not much happened. Just coming off of the holidays, it was a month of relaxing and spending Sundays at the hockey rink for Christian’s Hockey Beer League.
• February was filled with excitement as I celebrated my 34th Birthday around the sun 🌞. I celebrated by inviting all of our friends down for a themed birthday party – Kelsey’s 34 at the C Shore (a play on Jersey Shore). Everyone showed up in their best Guido and Guidette fits and came to party!
  • I also completed a 5k Walk with my mother and step-dad for 2 free tickets to a Columbus Blue Jackets game!
  • My birthday party invite I sent out below:

• March was filled with birthday celebrations, a Columbus Blue Jackets (CBJ) hockey game, and my brother and future sister-in-laws Wedding Shower!

  • My cousin/bestie and her son came to visit and we took him to Legoland.
  • The Masters were on and Christian was not to be bothered!

  • Aubree and I went on a girls trip to 30A for a long weekend getaway (post coming soon, I promise)!
• May – was a slower month, but still had a lot to look forward too!
  • Christian’s Hockey Beer League games every Sunday.

  • Went to Shadowbox Live for the first time! Shadowbox live is a dinner theatre. The show I attended was Millennium: A 2000’s Musical.

I thought it was good, although my mother-in-law and her friend who Aubree and I went with, said that there were better shows.
