A little about Me and How Sara and I Met!


Life can be strange and bring people together at the most interesting times.  For Sara and I we first met over a decade ago.  Wow!  Hard to believe that it has been that long.  We both attended the same undergrad and met as theatre scholarship holders.  In fact, there were four freshman theatre scholarship holders that year.  To most, you may think, yeah, so what?  But in theatre “scholarship holder” is code for you are going to be spending a lot of time together.  This was very true!  We not only had a few classes together, but we also worked on shows together, partied together, and studied together.  We were an interesting mix of people and we all grew over the next four years.  Some of us found love, some went on to try other careers/majors, for me, I found out a little more about what I wanted out of life.  I spent the last two years of undergrad exploring the prospect of making a career out of being a Stage Manager.  What I discovered was, that it wasn’t the life I wanted.  Not to mention that in my senior year I met the love of my life who I would eventually marry.  I graduated in 2002 and started working.

Fast-forward nine years.   I am six months pregnant at one of my doctor appointments and I turn around and see a blast from my past.  Who would have thought that Sara and I not only had the same doctor, but that we were both pregnant and living less then 2 miles apart.  For both of us this couldn’t have come at a better time.  My best friend was moving to Texas, I was about to be a first time Mom, and life was about to change in some major ways for both of us! This was the renewal of a great friendship.    

Three years later here we are starting this blog together.  We have some of the best times and some tough times, but friendship like ours is a great thing.  Now are girls are growing up together, her and I cook together, make each other laugh, and cry. 

What a better thing to do in life then to find an old friend. Now together we get to share our love of cooking, theatre, and life with our families and friends.  And the best part of all is that we get to show our girls what friends do for each other.

Grubs on! - Kim
