4. What is one thing you love about Kristin?

   I love that she cares for me without me even asking. Her actions show me that she cares just as much as the many times she can tell me she loves me in one day.

5. Describe your favorite memory of Kristin.

   I'm cheating here because there's no singular memory that I'd be satisfied with labeling as my favorite. I love every moment from our travels together to our lazy days on the couch.

Born and raised in Southern CA, Kristin grew up as the only child of her loving parents and was definitely a Daddy's girl. After college she pursued a Master's Degree in Public Health and enjoys working in this field. She loves to bake, has a major sweet tooth and is in love with their adorable dog Poppy.

5. Describe your favorite memory of Tawin.

   We recently went to the Philippines and my favorite memory of Tawin is his willingness and eagerness to learn how to speak Filipino. We would sit in the backseat of the car riding all around the city going from place to place and I would give him lessons haha. He caught on so quickly and our friends and family were quite impressed. Tawin is the best student and he's too cute!
