A Little About Kimmy

Dear Readers,
       Hi! I'm Kimmy, the other half of the duo Nearly Normal Girls. Since Hannah told you her life story, I figured I should clue you in on mine.

   I'm 21, I know you may think I look 12 but I can assure you that just because I can't see over the bar, doesn't mean I can't legally drink the alcohol behind it. I am working on my Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education at Eastern Michigan University. My dream is to someday teach kindergartners their ABCs and 123s (among other things.)

I am currently working as nanny to four kids ages (7, 5, 3 and 3 months). I love being with kids so being a nanny is a wonderful blessing. Kids are the wisest people on the planet and I enjoy being able to be around them in my everyday life.

I am in a transition phrase of life, I am in between moving home and moving out of an apartment. It's a bittersweet move, but I think it is the right choice. I am going to miss my freedom and solitude of apartment life, but I sure won't miss paying my rent every month. Living at home is free, and "free" is the only four letter word  I like.  I am one of four kids.  I have one step sister who is older than me, and a brother and sister who are younger. Being in a blended family has it's ups downs,  but its worth it. You can never have to many people to love you.

Speaking of people who love you, I currently love no one... ok that isn't entirely true.  I am 21 years old and I never been in an relationship. I usually push boys away before anything gets too serious. I used to think this was my worst flaw and now I see it as my biggest blessing. I don't want to date, to just date! I want to date someone to marry them.  It says in the bible "love is patient" and I keep that near and dear to my heart. I need to be patient. The love of my life will come along when I am ready, until then I will simply have to be "patient."

I enjoy spending my days in the company of friends and family, crafting, rhyming words, playing games (such as peanut, banana grams & scrabble), listening to good music, singing everywhere I go (and usually off key), baking, learning new skills, tie-dying, reading, dreaming about weddings, gossiping about celebrities (mostly about my favs  Prince Wills & Kate!), watching TV or movies, running, swimming, searching for vintagey-things and dancing off beat. I also really enjoy being outside and in the company of my furry friends (I have two dogs, two cats and a spanish speaking fish named allejandro).

I must admit that I have few obsessions (don't we all?), I love vintage aprons, sperry boat shoes(before they were cool!), bows, anything to do weddings(especially the royal wedding), jackie-o sunglasses,  and Taylor Swift.

I guess you could say a way to describe me is that I am not completely normal, but that I am a Nearly Normal Girl.
