Memorial Day: the first major holiday of summer (though it’s not quite summer yet). The kids are getting out of school, the teachers are cheering their own freedom, and the travel season really kicks into high gear. Some families choose to take the same trip every year over the Memorial Day weekend while others mix it up. Maybe you’re planning a staycation with your family due to higher gas prices and other travel costs. Either way, make sure you kick back and relax over the 3 day weekend.
And most importantly, let’s not forget to remember those who have fallen, giving their lives in military service!

Thanks for the mention Kevin! We had our long weekend last week, Victoria Day.
What are your thoughts on Dave Ramsey’s budgeting program? Have you heard feedback on it, good or bad? We tried it and got frustrated. Just curious. Thanks!
Thanks for mentioning our post! Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.
My prayer to our fallen heroes.
