Kim's Story
Life
You know a hell of a lot of time has passed since I walked out of the doors of BHS. That was really a hard time - high school was a hard time. I had always been a very shy girl and afraid of my own shadow. In junior high I had to hide behind a facade I created to get through it. Then in high school, well, I always felt very lucky to meet Bill. He was my lover, my friend and my protector. We went to four proms together and I wouldn't trade a single moment of them.
What I remember of school is just struggling to get the grades so I could party. I just didn't have the interest to pursue the classes I needed to prep me for college and no one ever said, hey, get it together. You have a future waiting for you and you need to make your own money so you can survive. I couldn't afford college like a lot of my friends so I set my goals low.

My niche market is Eureka and the five years I worked full time in real estate I was the top listing agent in the 63025 zip code area for two years. In 2005 I felt the market changing and I needed to pay some bills and was tired of living closing-to-closing so I went back to the legal field. Have been doing both jobs for the last two years. It's been nice having my weekends back. I do the real estate thing for family and friends and don't market like I used to - but that's ok. I know that if I want to get back to it again full time, I can do it.
Bill and I have celebrated 21 years of marriage and have one daughter. She is a perfect mix of both of us and is a very strong person - in every meaning of the word. I love that. She will go far.
Bill and I are looking forward to the future. Life is good.
