1. She Moved Over A Dozen Times Before College
Kim was born in Texas, but she has done quite a bit of moving during her lifetime. According to The List, Kim said, “We moved 16 times before I went to college. We are moving around on this tight budget, and … early on, she gave us the keys to our little corner of the kingdom or “our room,” and let us do whatever we wanted every time we moved.”
2. She Owned A Bridal Shop
Being an entrepreneur is something that Kim has always envisioned for herself, and she has accomplished that goal more than once over the years.

She has already done the show twice and doesn’t see herself doing it again in the future. She told The List, “I feel really confident that I’m done. I had a moment with myself at the end of “Winners at War,” the returning season that I went on a couple years ago that I did not win. But I would not go back, and I had a real moment of clarity about that.”
4. She Likes to Spend Time Outside
