Karmyn Koenig Barnes

Brendan (11), Karly (8)

After High School I went to UNL. I graduated in 1991 with my bachelor's in speech/language pathology. I then attended graduate school in Omaha. I married Darin (from Utica, NE) on June 4, 1994. We moved to Grand Island where I accepted a job as speech-language pathologist for Grand Island Public Schools. I have been a SLP (and other job titles) ever since.

My son, Brendan is 11 and in 5th grade. He keeps us very busy with his sports. Because of a baseball tournament, Darin and Brendan will not be back in July.

Karly is 8, almost 9 (that's important to her!). She has taught us to laugh and enjoy everyday. She is Miss Social so she will be with me in July.
