Just Me

Hi there. My name’s Kim, but friends call me Kimbo, Kimbosue, and Kimmie. 

This blog is mainly a place for me to dump out my thoughts, feelings, experiences about life in Texas, mommyhood, making wine, baking, and everyday randomness. But I hope to do so in a humorous manner that keeps you coming back for more. I also love to use parenthesis for emphasis (it’s a bad habit – see?). I hope you enjoy my new space here at WP.

I had a workplace romance at my first job out of college, and married Dean in 2005 on the sunny beaches of Jamaica. He’s 23 years older than me (don’t be hatin’) and has a daughter who is 5 months younger than me, a son who’s 4 years younger than me, and an 12 year old granddaughter. I’m also a 30′s something new mother (April 2009)  to a wonderful baby boy named Miles (named after Miles Davis – Dean’s a professionally retired (5 times) trumpet player). We struggled through infertility for a year and a half before reaching out to an RE. Diagnosis was multi-fold: varicocele, slight PCOS, and annovulation. After meds, injections, and 4 IUI’s, we got our BFP.

Miles is such a blessing and a joy to have in our lives. I can’t believe how whole I feel now that I have my very own baby to love and adore. Our family is now complete!

To read more about our journey, please go to my former blog – Life and Times of Kimbosue.
