About Me

my name is kim. some would say i'm golden.
i am: a follower of jesus, a dreamer, a reader, a wanderer and a wonderer, a wannabe photographer, a servant, a pacifist, a proud member of "that trio down there" and a lover of life.
i like: the country of jordan, laughing, traveling, procrastinating, shoes, drawing, art, water, the beach, fire (probably too much), living a little dangerously, frosted flakes, being home, music, roadtrips, late nights, coffee shops, chipotle, apples, pf changs, shwerma, lamps, late night talks, buttons, water, dr. pepper, paintings, friendships, archaeology, my house church, and flip flops.
i love: my sister, jesus (oh sweet, sweet sunday school.), my friends from home, my friends from school, my friends from the rest of life, being in a community, and serving.
i miss: my sister, my dad, being home, those friends i don't get to see enough, my dog, and everything about the country of Jordan.
i don't like: war, peanut butter, the dark, scary movies, angry/mean people, violence, abuse, apartheid, 9 meter cement walls, segregation, homework, the taking away of dignity or the destruction of innocence.
and in case you're interested, some of the pictures from my trip to jordan can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8531712@N05
or there's some on my myspace. but those are mostly of my face. and not much else.
