Kimberly Kaleonani Kitto. i love my name! Honestly, i think its one of the greatest names out there. Although my initials have caused many raised eyebrows and merciless teasing in high school, i cannot think of a name better suited for me!

Living in New York is literally a Dream Come True for me!! The pace, atmosphere and climate really agree with me...and yeah...being a short train ride away from NYC is the greatest thing ever. On the weekend my activities include shopping on 5th Avenue (mainly at H & M), walking through Central Park, people watching in Times Square, hailing cabs and seeing many shows on Broadway. My job is incredible. Wonderful, professional, respectful, considerate, kind and sympathetic employers. Hilarious, sweet, brilliant, mischievous and adorable kids. Great hours, benefits and pay. My ward here is welcoming, caring, diverse and just awesome. Basically, my life is amazing and I know that I have been blessed so much.

The only downside to living my fantasy life here in New York is being so far away from all the people that I love! The thing I treasure most in my life is the people in it and the relationships we have!!

My family is something else. We're all very different and very much the same. We all have our various passions and dreams but ultimately, we have the same goal and destination in mind. My siblings (that includes my favorite sister-in-law) are so cool. Anytime i talk to one of my siblings i am blown away by all the things they want out of life and the high standards they've set for themselves. Its incredible. My parents are the ones responsible for that. With me, they've always been soooo supportive of everything I love my family!! i've chosen to do and always sooo happy to have me come home again. The love for me and the confidence they have in me is overwhelming.

My friends are the best. I have the best friends. Just a text or a phone call from one of them lifts my spirit and brightens my soul! I hate to generalize--so i'm just going to mention the things that they all have in common. They're all hysterical, genuine, comfortable in their own shoes, interesting, giving and attractive. I only surround myself with good looking people. I can't wait to play and catch up with all of them!! I love my friends!!

Bottom line-I am very happy right now with where I am and what I am doing! At the same time, i really miss the people at home because they are so important to me! YOU are so important to me! Long Distance Relationships are not as fun as the short distance ones.
