Can anyone recommend a kitchen planner who would travel 60 miles from Waco?

If its 60 miles FROM Waco, which direction? Perhaps there's somebody in the community in which you're building...

I wish there were, but we are in a rural area east of Waco.

I can tell you everything you need to do. If you are going to replace cabinets, go with all drawers for the bottom. Deep bottom drawers can hold pots and pans in one, glass baking/serving dishes and plastic containers in the other.
Lower cabinets are the work of the devil for the most part...who wants to crawl around trying to reach stuff in the back of them anyway? I have two bottom drawers and they are the best things! I am guessing they are 36-42" wide and 18" deep and they are directly below the cooktop.

Have one lower but tall opening to stand pans and cookie sheets on their sides.

If you have a young family, large family that hits your place for weekend/holidays think about two dishwashers one a regular full size and a second drawer type for glasses...we mess up more glasses than anything else!

I love the farmhouse sink look but realized if I fill the sink with water, I can't use the disposal at the same time.

Mom, you are so right. This will be a bump out and remodel. I hate my lower cabinets. It's like a scavenger hunt in the dark to find anything.

go to the kitchen forums on gardenweb. they are AWESOME!
