Kimberly's Story
after high school...i moved to daytona beach florida twice. i have an immense passion for the ocean - the breeze, the waves, the salt. ive also lived in college station texas and patterson new jersey - both are cluttered and crowded little towns. i hopped skipped and jumped between binghamton and oneonta - though i would rather be anywhere else i really miss the area when im gone. i get bored in one place and if it wasnt for my fantastically wonderful husband i would still be trounsing around the countryside. He is the polar opposite of me. He is stable, quiet, persistent. He keeps me grounded. without him i would spend my days endlessly reading austen or the bronte sisters, or writing poems, music, short stories etc while listening to the latest sarah brightman or secret garden cd and making impromptu trips to wherever my heart inclined to go. Grady tempered my hatred of idleness by buying a timeshare in the berkshires for a wedding present so we could travel more - my next trip is to st. petersburg fl then on to london. i have a sweet little principessa - katrina ballerina. she is my everything. i was a stay at home mom for 6 years - right now i currently have my real estate license and work with a real estate company in oneonta part time as an admin. this year i will be starting to home school my daughter who is going in to 5th grade! (i always wanted to be a teacher - mainly just to play with the projectors and chalk board.) i love my family, friends and life and i hope everyone else is just as happy!!
Now for the story wizard ... i hope my old friends remember me laughing - because thats all i still do.
i never really knew what i wanted to be when i grew up - i guess im still working on that and will always be working on that.
i really love to write letters with dip pens when i need to empty my mind. i have a friend in allentown pa who is my muse - we inflict every thought we have on eachother. and who cant go far some popcorn and a good movie to blow off some steam?
i dont think i did wild things in shool that i really want to share - lets just say my senior year i missed a lot of monday mornings.
my inspiration is my daughter. she was born by c-section a mont early due to complications. a few hours after she was born she quit breathing and had to be transported to another hospital 45 mins away from me. because of my physical condition i was forced to stay another day at the hospital i was in. it was agonizing not knowing how she was doing. once we were reunited we were inseperable. she is my whole world - everything that makes the pain worth going through, the joy worth sharing and the light worth feeling.
i miss everyone from school, not because i was close to many but because i really enjoy watching people and their interactions with one another. you feel like a family - some are distant relatives and others when you see them you can pick up where you left off.
i dont have many obsessions. my husband would say i ha...Expand for more
ve a shoe fetish. not true!
i think my biggest surprise in life is having faith. i did not grow up in a religious family and i never cared for religion - it was all commercialized in my opinion. but someone asked me one day if i had any questions about the bible and i said probably rather sarcastically - if God really wanted me to know who he was he would've started by giving himself a name. This young person very quietly showed me Psalm 83:18 "...that people may know that you who's name is Jehovah, are most high over the earth." well if one question i had could be answered i wondered whether or not other questions i had could also be answered. so i accepted a bible study. my biggest surprise is who i am today because of that knowledge.
ive learned from my child the importance of hugs and kisses and "i love you's". during the years i went to sidney i rarely saw my bioligical father, and my mother not once in those 7 years said she loved me or gave me a hug. that was the environment i grew up in. children need to be told i love you. adults need to hear it. no one is ever too old for a big bear hug! and so not a day goes by that i dont tackle my child with x's and o's. yeah - sometimes it annoys her - but most of the time she loves it!
if i won a million dollars i would move to some third world country and help teach the bible to people and give most of money to others who wanted to do the same thing. feed them fish or teach them to fish?
today i dress totally opposite of what i did when i was in school - there isnt a day that goes by that i dont where a dress or skirt - and i love pink now. my hair is now curlier than ever which im thankful for. when i had katrina i was so sick and my hair went stick straight and i started to lose clumps of hair in the shower! then out of desperation i went and got a perm and ever since then it has kept right on growing full and curly. i still dont wear makeup - except for mascara (does that count?).
my oldest friend... i dont have any of the same friends from school :( we're all busy and on different planets. but i still care for them and think of them often. i met a girl named fe when i first moved to oneonta. she is about 10 years younger than me. we were volunteers building a kingdom hall and she needed a ride home from hamden. i offered her the ride - we laughed all the way home and have been the closest friends ever since. shes the sweetest thing in the world and i forbid her ever to marry or have a boyfriend because i dont want to share her! ive convinced her men are evil :)
i will never forget sneaking around after school with beth brown. i knew one day she would freak out and dye her hair pink because her parents were too old fashioned! i still remember her poor brown sweater i practically ripped the arm off dragging her around! sorry :( i still owe you. as for any embarrassing memories - ive deleted them all from my brain. "i am perfect" i tell myself and "i never did anything dumb". LOL
