This entire journey so far has been so life changing for me...I have learned so much about myself this whole way and have changed only for the better. I have seen so many family's that are broken and heard stories of people that don't even speak with there family. This breaks my heart but reminds me of how lucky I am.
I am Kimberly Emma Norstebon and I am damn proud of it! Being a Norstebon is not just a name it is a life style and a privilege. It means that family is always first, that you must have way more children than you planned on, and that success is measured by who is laughing the loudest when we get together. Being a Norstebon is being selfless on certain occasions and sharing your beer, stating your opinion loudly at all times even if no one cares, and fighting vigorously for what you believe in no matter what. Being a Norstebon mean's loving with every bit you got even your enemies, indian leg wrestling at every family occasion, and knowing the most miraculous nights happen around a bon fire. Being a Norstebon means for Christmas we knock over our tree every year, take cleavage shots as a formal photo, and all our friends show up because yah we are that awesome to be around.
Being in my family is something miraculous that i wish others could learn to do with their families. My best advice for a family recipe like this is let the BS go, forget all the small stuff and drama. Appreciate who and what you have. Always be there for each no matter what. And also know when to and not to over step your boundries... this is especially important. You need to be able to have your own life and your family doesn't need to run it for you even if your screwing it up. The best thing that had happened to me was hitting rock bottom. My family watched it all happen but did nothing...why...cause i needed to learn. But when I finally hit this point they helped me pick myself up again.
