This past Tuesday(12/20/11) I went to the zoo with my great grandmother, my aunt, my aunt's cousin, and five of my cousins, including my five-year-old twin cousins, I say the part about my five-year-old cousins because that is really the most important part. While we were at the zoo I was taking pictures of, well, everything and when we stopped in the Japanese garden at our zoo, complete with a coy pond, one of my five-year-old cousins asked my if he could take some pictures with my camera, so I gave him my camera and he had the camera for about the next twenty-thirty minutes. Now, I stand around 5'5" tall, my cousin stands about 3'5" tall, so the pictures I was taking were quite a bit higher than the ones my cousin was taking, the only time all day I was down at his level was when I took his twin brother into the bird house and he was showing me the squirrels(not sure that's the right word.) Above are some of the picture my cousin took, along with a few of th

So y'all may have noticed that I have been silent on Facebook and my blog for the last little bit, the reason is that I have just been busy, between work, school, church, and homework there aren't really that many hours left in any given week. This semester I have Speech, Introduction to Education, Class Piano 1, ASL1, and Drawing 1 <-- that is just my school schedule then I work as many rush shifts @ Domino's as I can, Wednesdays I have AWANA, and Sundays I have Children's Church, now don't get me wrong I enjoy doing most of that stuff but there just aren't enough hours to all that and keep up with Facebook and my blog. Unfortunately I am being forced to take a break from some of this stuff to have my gallbladder taken out on Thursday, then my birthday is on Friday(lovely birthday present huh?)and then hopefully next week I can get back to full activity load. For now my plan is to attempt to go to classes tomorrow morning and then hopefully to the art show t

What's in a number? For some nothing at all, for others everything. Some people see nothing in a number but a digit or an age, others see a driver or football/baseball/hockey/basketball player. The number I am referring to is the # 3 made famous by Dale Earnhardt Sr. in the NASCAR Winston(now Nextel)Cup series, and thought by some to be retired by NASCAR or by Richard Childress(Big E's car owner and friend/hunting buddy)but neither was true as NASCAR does not retire numbers(hence the numbers 43, Richard Petty, and 45, Adam Petty, both run.) Richard Childress said in 2001 that he would not run # 3 again and while yes we have seen two or three times where Dale Earnhardt Jr. has run the number(02 Daytona-win, 02 Charlotte-36th, and 10 Daytona-win) most people thought that those were OK to do because Jr. was driving the same number that he drove to two(2) Busch(now Nationwide) championships(1998,99) and he was driving the car as a tribute to his father. Big E, Dale Sr., The Intim

By now I'm sure all of you have heard of the earthquake in Japan and the Tsunami threat in Hawaii, which are both VERY bad don't get me wrong I feel very sad for the people who lost their homes, lively hood, and families, BUT on the other hand we know from the past that when something like this happens some people start bogus charities to get money from kindhearted people and then after they take the money the either do nothing with it or they spend it all on themselves. Don't get me wrong I am not saying don't give money to help disaster victims, what I'm saying is give your money to reputable charities like the American Red Cross or anyone listed on the Better Business Bureau has listed. We also know that someone is going to say something they shouldn't while on a international show, but there is no way to stop that. Praying for Japan and Hawaii, Kimberly }{

I can't believe it's been more than a year since I started my blog!!!! I also can't believe I missed the actual birthday of my blog :(. Anyway this year has been, well that's another story, this year my extended family has welcomed three babies in to the world, two girls and one boy, we have had our share of health problems, both my extended family and my immediate family, health problems such as broken bones, bad burns, and just declining health, but I KNOW that my family would not have survived this year without God's grace and I KNOW we won't survive this coming year without God's grace.

I drove the Nissan Leaf as a school project and let me say I was not impressed. First I had to drive all the way out to the Avenues mall(which is about a thirty to forty minute drive) then after I got out there I had to listen to a bunch of CRAP about global warming and how gas is evil and it was boring, so after all of this I finally get to drive the car. So I go through the course in the mall parking lot and then we go to the office complex type thing across the street and the guy riding with me says: "go ahead and floor it since there isn't anything over here just don't hit any of the others" "floor it" is NOT typically something you want to say to me but the car didn't even cross 40 before I had to stop at the stop sign at the intersection
