2019 ACFW Carol Award WinnerOne year ago today, September 30, 2007, I will never forget.
The bus pulled up in front of our rental home, and Ty Pennington yelled into his megaphone. The collective gasp from our family will always echo in my ears.
I’ve had such an influx of email and contact about the anniversary that I thought I’d post 🙂
Everyone wants to celebrate with us, and know how we are! Thank you for supporting us and loving us.
It has been an incredible year. And I’m praising God for all that He has done. Kayla’s health has skyrocketed, and the house is amazing. Every day, I’m amazed and look around in awe – praising God for this community and EMHE and all that He has blessed us with.
The year has flown by – with airings of our EMHE episode, other TV appearances, and sharing of our story. We’ve met some amazing people, and have been able to reach out to many others.
But it also hasn’t been without ‘casualties’ – a few were upset with inaccuracies in the TV shows (although we didn’t have anything to do with that – it hurt them nonetheless.) And there has been so much contact from around the world, that we have tried to help as many people as we can, even if it’s just encouragement – but on the flip-side of that – it has taken time away from good friends. And I miss them.
I’ve realized even more through this process that I am NOT perfect and can’t be everything to all people. But by the grace of God, I will keep doing my best. One day at a time.
So, it has been an amazing year, a blessed year, a crazy year, and a learning year. I’m so thankful for all the wonderful people in our lives, and for the opportunity we’ve been given.
Thank you for loving us, praying for us, supporting us, and just being there.
I love to hear from all of you.
Praise God From Whom ALL Blessings Flow!

Hey Kimmy, this was a great post. Very honest. I’m so thankful for having you in my life. You’re a fantabulous friend and don’t let anyone tell you different.
No you’re not perfect, but then again, neither are those of us in your life. No one is perfect, and we go through seasons in life… you’re life is crazy right now… just makes hanging out with you more fun. =)
I love you, friend!
Hi Kim
I kidnapped Heathers computer to drop you a note. (No, I do not want your coat. =) )
This season in my life of having you as a friend will never end. It has eternity attached, but I so enjoy the time we have.
As our lives change and God should move us I have learned from you to laugh and to take each day at a time and a lot of prayer.
Always an adventure! Lori
again I am astounded at your candidness and the fact that you are not afraid to admit you are not perfect and make mistakes. I know you are burdened for other people and what they think and feel, but keep pressing on to Jesus and His will.
congratulations and God Bless. He chose just the right family for this.

Kim, I can’t believe it has been a year! I thank God every day that He brought you into my live! You are such a wonderful, loving and caring person and my live is so much richer because of you and your beautiful family! There are not enought words to say how greatful I am for that. I don’t think of you as “perfect”, but I know that you walk with God daily and do the very best you can and that He has made you the woman you are! I love you!
