Kimberly Ellingson:  

Life I've been working for my Dad at Carousel Pools since 1/89. I got married 4/92. I had a baby - Ethan Henry Ellingson 10/00 - my joy and the greatest thing to happen in my life. Becoming a parent changed my life (unfortunately, my husband didn't "become a parent" with me so we were divorced 12/02). Life is full of change. Boy have I changed! All for the better I think (with perhaps the exception of the weight gain - LOL!).

I've even sang with my friend Sydney Hostetler at a couple of "gigs" in Olde Town Arvada as well as at the famous Little Bear in Evergreen and the Buffalo Rose Saloon in Golden. I am currently attending The Sanctuary Downtown and sing regularly on the worship team there, lead by Justin Bullis, a most incredible musician. I moved to Arvada in December 2003. My father & I run his swimming pool business out of my home (dad owns it, I am his tenant).
