ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Kim!

I’m thirty-four years old, and live in very northern Lake County, Illinois (technically, in a suburb of Chicago) with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi (Khali), Apollo, and Starbuck.

ABOUT US

Steven and I met as students at Iowa State University. I’m from Waterloo, Iowa, and he is from Kansas City, MO. We ended up in Chicagoland because he came here for work in May 2003, and I came out when I graduated in May 2007. We got married in September 2007.

ABOUT OUR KITTIES!!!

Khali showed up at our house in August 2016, and we officially “adopted” her in February 2017. We adopted Apollo and Starbuck from our veterinarian in August 2018. Apollo and Starbuck’s mom was a stray brought to our vet while giving birth!

We adopted Data in February of 2005, and said goodbye to him on September 4th, 2018. We think he had GI Lymphoma, and his body failed him fast during our last few months together. Our outdoor cat Jon Snow (Snow) lived “with us” starting September 30, 2016 and passed away (was hit by a car) on February 1, 2018. 2018 kind of sucks.

ABOUT WORK

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture (I am not a licensed architect), and my full time job is architectural support in the real estate industry. I work for the federal government.

I am also an ACE certified personal trainer (since July 2013) and teach whole body strength classes at Essential Fitness in Grayslake, Illinois. Fitness is my passion. I love to exercise, especially running and cycling! I love sharing my passion for fitness with others.

Steven is the creator and owner of FakeMeats.com – an online shop of vegetarian and vegan meats and treats!

ABOUT ILAXSTUDIO

I started this site in July 2005 as a means of keeping in touch with my family and friends. Happily, it has turned into much more than that, as it has introduced me to new friends from all over the world.

In October 2007, I made the switch from hand-coding my site to using wordpress. My old site archives can still be viewed under the Archive 07/2005-10/2007 link.
