So, here are 7 things that you may not know about me:
1. For starters my first name is Kimberly. My parents named me Kimberly Brooke and then decided to call me Brooke because it went better with my brothers name Brian. When I started school I decided that I wanted to be called Kimberly so I changed my name from Brooke back to Kimberly. I would get so mad because at home my family would still called me Brooke and I would tell them that’s not my name! Let’s just say that the next school year I went back to Brooke. This is the reason I told James that whatever we name our baby he will go by his first name.
2. A little history; my husband and I were in the first grade together at Jefferson Elementary. We have a class picture and we are standing on the back row side by side. During elementary, James’ family moved overseas because of his dad’s job and when they returned James went to Notre Dame. During that time my parents had moved me to Holliday. The summer before my freshman year the word was out that there was to be a “new hot guy” at school. I remember rollerblading around the neighborhood with one of my friends and we ran into Mr. James Fouts. I thought wow I think I know him so I asked if he went to Jefferson elementary and he said yes. I know he thought that was a little creepy for me to remember that because he makes fun of me still to this day for remembering people I went to elementary school with. Every time we were around each other we flirted but it wasn’t until our senior year we started to date and well, look at us now!
3. It is true that you can get pregnant while on birth control. James and I married December 13, 2003 and during May 2005 (while on birth control) I got pregnant. That pregnancy however, ended in a miscarriage. After comprehending that I was in fact pregnant and then having a miscarriage made me want to get pregnant again. It then took me almost 3 ½ years to get pregnant with Blake!
4. I have now realized that my dream for having 3 children will ultimately result to 2 children. I am so grateful/proud of my husband for the career that he has chosen and the services that he provides to others but lets face it kids are expensive and well, Wichita Falls Fireman do not make a lot of money!
5. In January 2007 I only went to the dermatologist because my mom had had melanoma on her arm and she made me an appointment to get checked out. I went in and had a few skin biopsies to which one came back full melanoma. I was then sent to MD Anderson in Houston for surgery to remove the melanoma and a lymp node. Since then I have had well over 40 skin biopsies with some superficial but no more melanoma.
6. When my brother first got married I did not like my sister n law. This is no secrete incase you are wondering. We often joke about my dislike of her and now we are the BEST of friends! I can’t even really remember why but I’m SURE that I had a great reason for the dislike since I was a sophomore in High School and all! She has given me 2 precious nieces, 1 precious nephew and a lot of great advice over the years! Love Ya Becca!
7.For those of you that wonder who my child got his auburn hair from. That would be both his mamma and dada. James has a reddish beard and well, let’s just say that I have been highlighting my hair since the 7th grade. Yep, I’m auburn!
