Our Story
Our story together began as high school sweethearts! We met in 2006 when I (Kimberly) was 14 and Colin was 17. After the typical high school date/breakup, we started seriously dating in 2009 prior to Colin becoming a missionary for a year. Before he left, I confessed my feelings and Colin left me with a senior photo that said, “When I get back, if you are single, you will have yourself one amazing Friday night date.” Well, we did just that and the rest is history! In 2012, Colin proposed to me on “Mount Zion,” which was a little drive up a path by his parent’s house. This location was meaningful to us because it was the first place Colin told me he loved me and where we had engraved “CH hearts KB” on a pickup truck parked up there. We got married July 27, 2013 and recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary!
Since getting married, we have had our share of joys and sorrows. Colin’s father passed away from cancer in 2014. Then the following year, we suffered the loss of our son, Kolbe, who was stillborn. By the grace of God, we were blessed with our son, Nathanael, a couple years later. A year later we pursued adoption for the first time and adopted our son, Charles. Since then, we have suffered through a late-term miscarriage and an early-term miscarriage. Faith plays an extremely significant role in our life. It is what has brought us together and kept us together through the struggles we have faced. This season of our faith is learning how to
grow amidst the busyness of life and raising kids.
Each summer we go on a family vacation with both sides of our families. Our trips were the Ozarks and Gulf Shores this year!
Birthdays are a big deal for us! We also throw birthday parties for the boys and invite all of our extended family and friends. This year the themes were Hulk for Charlie and Motorcycles for Nate.
We celebrate holidays with our extended families as well. Each year we do matching Christmas pajamas with Kimberly's side of the family.
