Our wedding 2019
Weekend spent with family. 2020
Pete and I with Jenni my sister and her partner they will be our children’s God Parents .
If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...
That there was less suffering. There is a lot of pain involved in living. It teaches us but it also hurts. I wish people could learn the lessons with less of the hurt.
-Kim
What scares you?
Something happening to one of my loved ones.
-Kim
My philosophy on parenting is...
Love, listen, understand, boundaries and some more love. I’m sure it will be less idealistic once we are going through the ups and downs of raising a child.
-Kim
Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?
I grew up in a very religious home and have found that organized religion is not for me. I do feel spiritual especially when in the outdoors.
