Kim Chase-Brewis:  

Updated July, 2011 I'm visiting family & friends in Alaska again. This time for a month & loving every minute. Jon continues to keep me on my toes with his medical issues. Fortunately he's alright at the moment. We celebrated our 25th anniversary this month. Woo Hoo!! Life is good. I hope life is good for you & your loved ones. Each moment is precious. Be well my friend. Kim Updated May, 2010 It's been a bumpy ride. A week after we closed on our home in AZ my husband ended up in the hospital first for 3 weeks, then he was home 6 days & bk in the hospital for another 5 weeks. It was grueling to say the least. He had multiple bloodclots in his lungs & arm. He had fluid in his lungs, which put strain on his heart. He had several infections in his lungs &!around his lungs which took forever to identify. Then to top it off his kidneys were also in distress. He was finally released, just before Christmas & he's been trying to recover ever since. His kidneys & lungs are, let's say fragile. He was recently referred to the kidney transplant program, which is why we moved back down to AZ in the first place. I passed my real estate test in Feb & have been working since then. I enjoy it, but I am praying for the financial situation in this country to bottom out & make a turn for the better soon. One of the freedoms I get as a realtor is that I set my own schedule, so I can be with Jon for his doctor appts. & take off when I want. As I write this I'm babysitting my 2 grandchildren in Alaska & visiting for 2 weeks. My sister Lynette & I had an awesome 3 week trip down the west coast last summer on my way to AZ. I'm thinking about starting a family blog, if I do I'll post info here. Anyway I'm bk living in the lower 48 & life is calmer at the moment. Have a safe Memorial day wkend. I wish you well my friend. Kim Chase-Brewis Updated Sept 23, 09 WooHoo! We sold & closed our home in Alaska last week. Hubs will be here in Arizona on Sun, we have our walk through & close on our home here in AZ on Mon morning. Then it's champagne time. It's been a long year & a half process but well worth the wait for us in AZ as we got a great deal. I am studying to take my real estate test again. I'm excited to be going back to work again soon. Anyway, I just wanted to update you on recent blessings for us. I hope all is well in your world too. I won't & haven't had easy access to a computer since I left Alaska in June, so if you've messaged me during that time know that I'm not ignoring you. Things have just been hectic & crazy. I'll soon be sharing pics of the desert. Ciao for now my friends. Blessings upon one & all. Kim Updated June 09, a few changes. We haven't sold our house in Alaska yet but I am heading for Tucson to look for work. I...Expand for more
