Siesta Spotlight- Kim



Hi everyone,
We are so glad you are enjoying the Siesta Spotlight
We thank Fran for being the first one (she is great isn't she!!)

We have several of you working on your Spotlight but in the meantime I thought I would go ahead and introduce each of you to one of your Siesta Fiesta Blog coordinators - ME


My hubby and I






Connor (my oldest) with shampoo in his hair - they had been playing in the mud so they had to take a shower outside :)





Cole also with shampoo in his hair at the top of our slide about to see how fast shampoo makes him go down the slide!!


I liked Fran's format so I think I will copy it a bit

Name:Kim
Age: 34 yrs old
State: Georgia

1. First of all I am a rescued child of Christ. God has continued to show His abundant mercy and grace in my life. He has freed me of past strongholds that truly gripped my existence for decades. God has allowed me to be used as His light in Women's Ministry and to that I am eternally grateful

2. God has blessed me with a wonderful, kind, patient, and loving husband. The fact that God did not give up on me and continued to place this wonderful man in my path until I finally "got it" was truly a miracle. Some day I will have to tell you the comedic and God ordained wonderful way my hubby and I met :) UPDATED TO ADD THE STORY OF HOW WE MET (thanks Holly for the suggestion) here

3. I have been blessed with 2 little boys. I always dreamt of having 2 boys and 2 girls however if you had asked me which I would have preferred it always would have been boys. They make me laugh my head off. I lose track of time when I am with them b/c we are having such a good time. I have never seen little boys who love mud as much as mine and it just makes me smile (see above photos)

4. I have wonderful, family, friends, and SIESTAS that make me laugh. They add encouragement and prayers without fail. They are a wonderful source of info, advice, and love






SIESTAS we only have 110 more days!!


I can not wait to hug all of you in person (b/c like Fran - that is what I do - he he)


God bless,





Kim

I love to hug, too! People at our church don't hug, so when I get around huggers, watch out!!

It's going to seem like a big ol' family reunion in SA. Can't wait!

Ok, first thing I thought was, "Gee, she's pretty." I want to do a spotlight but I'm thinking I'll wait till we get wedding pictures back (daughter marrying on May 24th). That's why there's no picture with my blog name. Most of you guys are cute and young. I'm neither. Sigh.

Wedding pictures make everyone look good, right?

Looking forward to hugging you too. We do that in Wyoming too.
