Kick-Off

Welcome to the Love Nest!

My name is Karen. I'm 45 years old. I married Jim on March 27, 2009. Life is never boring for us. We are an interracial couple and we are moving into a multi-generational household. Jim is in Stage IV renal failure. I will be commuting 2 hours a day. We will be co-parenting 9-year-old twins. And we might even get a dog.

Jim has left his beloved Detroit, MI to live with me in Central Illinois, where corn lines every road. He refers to prairie living and "children of the corn" quite frequently. Hence the "Prairie" part of the title. The "Love Nest" describes our little piece of quiet heaven in the new household.

Follow our adventures as we figure this all out.
