Hello and thanks so very much for stopping by to take a look at my place on the net! My "real" name is Kim and I have lived in Illinois all my life, I am 43 years young, married to a wonderful man for 11 years. I work at a Private Elementary School and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHAT I DO! I am a simple person with simple dreams and I pretty much love life! I am one of those people that strongly believes that you get out of life what you put into it! Life is a gift that we should treasure and never take for granted. I realized just how important that very thought was when my mother was stricken with cancer in Oct. of 97 and fought a 7 year battle before it finally killed her!(I miss her terribly!) Therefore when things get rough, know that some where, some place, some one else has it worse than you!
