What’s Happening At Solis Wealth Management?

Hello everyone! I trust you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day holiday surrounded by warmth and cherished moments. At our house, we hold dear the magic of traditions, but this year, we decided to infuse a touch of change into the mix. Feeling that Christmas tends to sneak up on us right after Thanksgiving, I longed for a bit more time to enjoy the decorations and festive melodies.

As a family, we opted to deck our halls the week before Thanksgiving, much to the delight of the kids. In line with VonCile’s sentiments, our visit to Big Bear felt like the perfect kickoff to the Christmas season. We attended the mesmerizing Pentatonix Christmas show and last week, Avery and I also saw Lindsey Stirling’s incredible performance at a local venue.

I must admit, I miss the little things, like my Thanksgiving morning ritual of sipping on a peppermint mocha from Starbucks while flipping through Black Friday ads in the newspaper. While we still enjoyed the Thanksgiving Day parade and our mochas, the thrill of uncovering deals was notably absent. Despite being one of those who wraps up Christmas shopping by mid-November, there’s something special about the energy and excitement of finding that perfect deal – preferably through the pages of a newspaper.

Avery and Travis are thriving in school this year. Travis, ever passionate about golf and flag football, has also become a walking encyclopedia of statistics about every NFL team. Chris and I are considering involving him in a fantasy football league to keep up with his expertise. Avery, on the other hand, continues to impress with her diverse interests – from riding lessons, weightlifting, and a voracious appetite for books to crocheting and culinary adventures. Her passion for fashion, makeup, and natural health is truly inspiring, and I find myself learning a great deal from her.

Chris remains diligently occupied with work and the upkeep of our home, yet we always manage to carve out moments for movie time or occasional dates. I am profoundly grateful for his unwavering support and contributions to our home and family. Having a life partner like him is an absolute blessing.

As we enter this festive season, I encourage everyone to take a moment to breathe and indulge in some well-deserved rest. The pace of 2023 seems to have whisked by faster than ever, and I, for one, would love the opportunity to slow down and create lasting memories as we usher in 2024. I eagerly await hearing about your adventures and memories and will continue to share mine. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a joyous New Year! 🎄✨
