Kim's Blurbs About me: i was born in california, but grew up all over the united states because my dad was in the U.S. Army, (yeah, i'm an army brat)!!! i grew up having a love for music, and travel. And at age 9 i started writing poetry, at age 16 i graduated high school & published my first poetry book. i also went on to have several articles in the sacramento bee newspaper from 1994-2002. i wrote and published several poetry books, selling them in local sacramento stores. in 2001 i went on my first missionary trip through international comission (crusades) to brazil. this was one of the very best experiences of my life! as i have been blessed with some lasting friendships and saw many people come to know Christ! in june of 2002 i went on my second missionary trip to brazil to campo grande in rio de janeiro where i met my husband everton, it was love at first sight for me! i never met a person more caring and loving than him! i lived in brazil for 8 months while we dated. in march of 2003 we married. everton moved to the United States, and in july of 2004 we had our wonderful son Joshua, who is now 4 years old. i am enjoying being a wife of over 5 years, and a mom to our son. as well as writing and trying to live a positive life with God at the center. i hope in the future to be able to do more mission trips! if it's God's will! i'll go where he sends me! i feel blessed!!!
