Kim
Kim moved from Texas to Northern Virginia for work in 2010 where she met and married John, a Richmond native, in 2013. A year later, they decided to leave the hustle of NoVA for a life in Richmond. A full-time working mom, Kim loves cooking, reading, quoting musicals, historical jokes, Texas Aggie football, and believes cheese should be its own food group. Kim and John live in the West End with their daughter (Caroline, 2015), son (Charlie, 2017), and their fur-st child (Cardinal Richelieu, Chat).
