Kimberly Varnell Swopes

I started WA-HI my senior year after transfering from WWVA and WOW was it an eye opener. I had a blast that year and loved every minute of it. Due to the friends I made at WA-HI I met my future husband Loren Swopes(married 9 years later - it took awhile to convince him!).

We have 2 beautiful sons- Hunter age 9 and Jesse age 6.

We lived in Portland for 9 years and then decided to move back to Walla Walla 4 years ago to be closer to family. I don't regret it at all. We love it here. We go fishing and hunting all the time and its a great place to raise a family.
