So excited that you guys love the new look as much as I do.

But who exactly is behind the look?

Here’s the skinny…

I had a few simple requests…

Clean.

Simple.

Drop down menu.

Rotating header.  {Have you visited our Place Called Simplicity to see that there are actually two pictures on the header?  Depending on when you open the site? Sooooo fun!!}

And oooooh yeah, and I wanted it Purple.

And she came through, just like I knew she would.

So let me introduce you by backing up and telling you the story…

About 2 years ago I started getting regular comments from someone named Kim Foo.

Emma began to get regular comments on her blog as well from Kim Foo.

I will never forget the day….we were standing at the kitchen island and Emma and I turned to each other perplexed said,

“Who in the world is Kim Foo?”

{See, What did I tell ya?   It does stand out when someone comments regularly.  And KimFoo is living proof!}

Emma and I looked at her blogger profile.  Hmmmm.  Kim Foo.  Sweet name.  She must be Asian or married to an Asian.  {Which, as it turns out she is neither.  Haha}

Soon after that day, I mentioned in a post that our yellow ribbon was going up.

This Kim Foo chick wrote and said, “Would it be okay if my students sent a package to your son while he’s deployed?  What’s his favorite stuff?”

Well as everyone knows the old saying…..

Love me?  Thank you, I love you too.

Love my kids?  Oh.my.gracious.   Love you forever!

Honor my deployed son – wow.  You win big, big, big time with this ol’ mama.

So Kim Foo and her students gathered the stuff and sent the package.

My heart was overjoyed.

And then one day Kim Foo read about my dream of Elijah’s Hope and wrote:  “I’m a web designer could  I help?”

Hmmm, well let’s see.

Since I had absolutely zero idea what I was going to do to bring Elijah’s Hope from being a dream to fulfillment, I was wrote back, “Let’s talk.”   {And yes, for the record, Miss KimFoo designed the site, and maintains it daily…..she’s a rock star!}

And so began a sweet friendship that would span the United States and a generation.   I can honestly say she has truly become one of my dearest friends.   She loves the Lord, loves her husband, loves life and loves the orphan!  And she’s so  easy to talk to.  In fact we have laughed so hard working together on something that one of us wet our pants {not saying who, but can I just say that I’m really thankful I had that bladder surgery a few years back…haha}

When I’m having a tough day, Miss KimmyFoo will, out of the blue, text me and say, “How r u?  Everything okay?”  That’s called a true friend, no doubt!

So when it came time to doing a blog makeover, “she be ‘da woman”….

One of these days we’re going to hang out in person….{after she gets home with her sweet hubby Bryan and their new little guy coming soon through international adoption.}

Sooooo, if you’re in need of a web site designer or a blog makeover….shoot her an email….she’s a blast to work with….
