Today we’re celebrating Jen Kovar and wishing her a very happy birthday! 🎂 Jen brings so much heart, humor, and personality to our team, and her life outside the office is just as full! Here is what you should know about Jen:

💍 She’s celebrating 25 years of marriage with her husband, Andrew, this month!
👶 She’s about to become a Mimi for the first time this October, and we’re pretty sure that’s the title she’s most excited about these days.
🚗 While she might get carsick from time to time, when needed, she can drive like Jason Bourne, which we all find very reassuring.
🎶 And if there’s a song playing, there’s a good chance Jen knows every word…or at least her version of them.

Help us wish Jen a wonderful birthday and a year full of celebrations, laughter, and new memories!

We’re all online more than ever, either traveling, working remotely, juggling calendars from our phones, and that convenience comes with risks.

As summer approaches, identity fraud tends to increase, which is why this month we’re sharing a few simple, practical reminders to help protect what’s been entrusted to you. Sometimes the most meaningful steps don’t require big changes, just a little more awareness.

As we move through this season, this verse has been a quiet reminder for us. Growth doesn’t always happen quickly or loudly, sometimes it’s steady, unseen, and deeply rooted.

In our work and our lives, we’re grateful for the invitation to keep growing…in grace, wisdom, and trust.

Some books stay with you, not because the story is easy, but because it’s honest.

This month’s Turn the Page with Connie features And She Got Up by Courtney Pray Duke, a story shaped by grief, faith, and the steady presence of God in heartbreaking seasons. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t follow a timeline, but hope is never absent.
