Sister Spotlight - Kim Fuller

I grew up in Murray and attended Murray High School. I attended BYU after graduating and met Roger the first few weeks of school. I had a boyfriend at the time and so I was not interested in dating Roger and told him I couldn’t go out with him the first time he asked me out. I did however go study with him for the class we had together. Not long after that my boyfriend and I broke up and I began dating lots of guys in addition to Roger. During this time I took Roger to dinner at my parents home and my Mom asked Roger how old he was and he told her he was 25…well I did not even think to question that because he looks so young and honest. After I had fallen in love with him, he finally confessed to me that he was actually 29. I was 19 and was totally devastated he was so old and my parents were only 9 ½ years older than him! It took a while but I got over it and we were engaged and we were married in the Salt Lake Temple May 1, 1990. Shortly after this Roger graduated with his masters degree and we moved to Los Angeles where he began working for Price Waterhouse and I began working as an apartment manager. Kahana our oldest daughter was born 3 days before our first anniversary. We moved back to Utah shortly before Ariana our second daughter was born. We purchased a big 100 year old home in downtown Salt Lake that only had one room and a bathroom that were livable. We moved in and began to remodel the entire home! The home was divided into 2 apartments and we rented one of the apartments which covered our entire payment plus utilities!  While we lived in this home we added Collin and then decided we wanted to be in a more kid friendly neighborhood so we built our home here in Taylorsville and sold our home in Salt Lake. We moved to Taylorsville and added our youngest son Bowen a year later. We have lived in this home for 14 years except for 3 years when we moved to Mississippi for Rogers work. We kept our home when we moved to Mississippi because we love this area and this ward and we knew we wanted to return.  I have been serving in the Stake Young Woman Presidency since we moved back from Mississippi and have loved that experience. I recently began going back to school to get my degree and have loved that! I am grateful for all of the great people who live in our ward and for the great examples you are to me and my family!!!
