Question of the Day: Sports Icon

Question of the Day: Who is your Sports Icon/Idol? (Dead or Alive)

Since I attend the Worlds Dragon Boat Championships in 1996, my idol has been Andrea Dillon who is the head coach of FCRCC womens crew.

Happy Birthday Kimm!

She’s becoming an old lady…30! Never would’ve thought that number would be so soon so quickly.

Kari and Kimm back in 2005

Kimm and I met back in 2002-ish when I was still active with comp-licated.org. I cannot remember how we found each other to be honest but it doesn’t matter b/c ever since we started commenting on each others posts then lead to either Yahoo or MSN msgr w/webcam it was like we knew each other forever! In 2005, I was to get married to my now husband, Jon, and Kimm wanted to come to Indiana for the wedding. She definitely won the award for the most miles traveled for a wedding in my book. Jon and I discussed what we could do since she came from such a far distance, so I made the gamble by having her participate in the wedding. Mind you, we knew each other since 2002, but never met in person until 5 days prior of my wedding. I got a lot of weird comments about allowing someone I met from the internet in a wedding party and whatnot but in my view, they didn’t know the entire story.  I would have never taken back this decision in the world! Since 2005, Kimm has came into town for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion of that particular year: 2005-06, Thanksgiving; 2007, Joy’s wedding; 2008, my Grandpa’s funeral; and in 2009: Thanksgiving.  She’s seen my ups and downs as have I have seen hers.

Kari and Kimm in 2008

Kimm is a wonderful person and I wouldn’t give her up for anything in this world. I do owe her a crap ton of visits to Canada, and I do need to get a tattoo with her since I did help her with her first one. In closing, girl I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to Vancouver for your 30th, but you know how the money is these days (years…idk :died: ) but once I become finally stable, Woody and I will make it up there…PROMISE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH MUCH LOVE! :heart:
