View The Kelly Times online: https://issuu.com/askssk715/docs/christmas_newsletter_2019 It has been a long run, but this will be the final edition of the Kelly Times. It’s hard to believe that I started all of this back in the year 2000, when we announced that we were expecting our first child. This newsletter has gone out for the past 19 years and I have enjoyed every single year of it! I know that many of you have enjoyed reading them as well and I thank all of you for the love. Below is a little summary of some of Kaley’s important milestones from this past year. So proud of the woman she is becoming, but her moving away has been harder and more emotional than I could have ever imagined. I haven’t been doing much photography over the past couple of years, but I did treat myself to a weekend trip to the Smoky Mountains on the first weekend of November. You can find all of those photo galleries here: https://www.thisclicksphotography.com/f490615465 Kaley turned 18 this year! She graduated Summa Cum Laude on May 24th at the UCF Addition Financial Arena in Orlando. COLLEGE UPDATE: Kaley started her first semester of college this past summer, but took
classes online in order to stay in Miami and finish out her work and band obligations. She moved up up to Orlando at the end of August and is adjusting to college life and learning how to adult. She lives in an apartment style dorm with 3 other girls at the Rosen campus. They have a full kitchen, living room and individual dorm rooms. WORK UPDATE: Before moving up to Orlando for college, Kaley auditioned at Universal
Studios and got a seasonal position. She worked Halloween Horror Nights and had multiple roles during the event (photo bottom right). She also had applied for a job at Walt Disney World and while we were up there moving into her dorm, she nailed a job interview and has been working at the Magic Kingdom ever since. If you visit the park, you can find her rotating between the Carousel, Fairytale Hall and Mickey’s PhilharMagic! SCHOOL OF ROCK: For an entire week in July, Kaley toured with her house band in a real
tour bus and traveled up the east coast of the country! They played shows in Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond, Baltimore, ending with a final show at Morey’s Pier in Wildwood, NJ. They flew home from Philadelphia and although tired, she had the experience of a lifetime and had a taste of living like a true rock star! Kaley’s last show band performance was at Gramps in Wynwood and they performed songs from Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Her final house band gig was also at Gramps and it was truly bittersweet. It has been a fun couple of years seeing her perform and watching her guitar playing improve with every show. She is continuing to challenge herself and is trying to pick up her guitar as time allows. She has set up an Instagram music account that you can follow: @kaleykmusic
