Hello! My name is Kimm Hackworth, and I’m grateful for the chance to share a little bit about myself and my family with you.
I’m married with three children all in their early 20s. Matt, my husband, and I met in
2009 – we met online (back when E Harmony was a thing!). He will never let me forget that I called him by the wrong name when we were first chatting (“It’s so nice to hear from you again Mike!” (oops!) ). I knew I found a gracious man when he took it in stride and called me ‘Sally’ in his reply.
We both had been single for 6 years raising young children as single parents. We knew very quickly that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and married in January 2010. At that time, our kids were aged 7, 8, and 8. Now they are 22, 23, and 24. The blended family road has had many twists and turns. We’ve failed, survived and thrived at various points along the way. I trust it will all be used to encourage others who walk a similar road.
Today, Matt and I enjoy life in a new season of parenting. Empty nesting is beginning, and my daughter, Mary, works in radiology and will marry in September 2026 to her high school sweetheart. His children, Jake and Morgan, work full-time as well. Matt is an avid outdoorsman and a retired Army Ranger who has worked in IT for 20+ years. Together, we like to travel and have recently acquired a new love for the West and the mountains. We stay as active as possible – if you don’t use it you’ll lose it!
We have also tried to never stand in the way of whatever God may be doing in each other’s life. He has stood by me through various calls to serve with Back2Back Ministries, leading ministries in a church setting and now Rock Solid Families.
Thanks for letting me introduce myself — I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you, too!
