The CK Daily – A week of Nostalgia and Swiftie News!!
Happy Wednesday!
Love her or hate her, your girl is a big ole’ Swiftie so I am living for all the big news of the week! TS12?! I am PUMPED! I’m sure I’ve said this here before, but Taylor Swift and her team know what they’re doing when it comes to all things marketing. Of course, the fan base plays a big role, but it had to be built in some way!
Also, am having some major nostalgia this week because of the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato reunion where they sang Camp Rock songs….amazing. I grew up watching Camp Rock on repeat and through the years, lots of Disney stars have gone down various paths of life, but it’s so humbling to see them reunite and allow fans to go back down memory lane after (and I’m sure there is something unique and incredible about it for them as well!).
It’s also a big week because our little guy is going to kick-off his first day of pre-school tomorrow. My heart is swelling and the tears in my eyes might swell a little bit to at how quickly he’s growing up, but I’m so excited for him. We had his open house last night and watching him with the other kids was so sweet. I know it’s going to help his growth immensely and before we know it, he’s going to be a full blown adult. But for now, I will hold onto every tiny piece of him that I can.
All of this to say – BOY is it a week of emotions! I have some big life changes and moves coming up that are scary but also a big deal for our family. I’m so grateful for the roller coaster of life that we’re on, but also ask for prayer in the transition of it all. If I can be praying for you this week, please let me know!

Learning Center Article – Everything You Need to Know About Fiber Optic Cables – Including OM5
There are primarily two types of fiber optic cabling in the IT space. Those two types of fiber optic cable are single-mode and multi-mode. An optical fiber cable is constructed of a core (inner layer), cladding (layer around the core), and jacket (coating around the cladding). Some layers of protective sheathing are added depending on the application and environment.
