Kristin....truly a CATCH!

Hey to everyone visiting from Kelly's Korner-
This is my sister, Kristin! I have no doubt that God has GREAT things in store for her and I am here to tell you....she is truly a CATCH!

Kristin is 29 and lives in Austin, TX


Kristin is the middle child in our family of 3 kids- I'm the oldest and our brother, Blake, is the baby. Growing up in San Antonio, TX we have lots of fun memories. We have a very close family and still cherish and enjoy times together, family trips and we all know how blessed we are to have such a great family.

Kristin went to college at Clemson in South Carolina (Go Tigers!). She broke the mold and left Texas  since our parents, who are TX Longhorns, and her sister who is a Baylor Bear (Sic 'em Bears!) stayed close by. Even baby brother stayed close at A&M playing baseball.

Thankfully, life brought her back home to Texas where she got her CPA (did I mention what a smart and accomplished girl she is??). She worked for a Title Company for a couple of years out of school, then was hired by a very reputable accounting firm where she burned the midnight oil for a couple of years both in San Antonio and in Austin, and has now planted her feet at a great bank as a Private Banker. Don't ask me what that entails- Kristin makes everything with business and numbers look easy and I couldn't follow a budget sheet!! But needless to say, she is very smart and has made a great name for herself in the banking industry here in TX. She's a go-getter and we are so proud of her.

One day we visited Aunt Kristin at her office in Austin


Kristin is the BEST AUNT to my 3 kids. She has been there for every major milestone in their lives and been such an encourager to us along the way. She will be an incredible mom! All 3 of my kids run to greet her when she gets in town and always cry when she leaves. She's definitely a fun aunt and LOVES those kids with her whole heart.

Kristin is the epitome of a good friend. She is the organizer amongst her friends, always getting people out to do fun things. She stays in touch with people from all stages of her life and makes it a point to nurture those relationships. She's always going and doing and especially traveling! Kristin loves to travel- many times she is traveling for weddings (I think she could be like the girl in the movie 27 Dresses- she has been asked to be in LOTS of her friend's weddings!). That is another testimony to the kind of friend that she is that so many people want her to stand beside them on their most important day. But she also travels for FUN- she loves the beach and skiing, weekend getaways and has even completed the 3 day, 60 mile walk in San Fransisco with a good friend in support of her mom who lost her battle with cancer.

Looking through Kristin's picture books, I am reminded what fun she has and how blessed she is with good, close friends.

Kristin and I


I know that Kristin would love to share the fun times ahead with someone with the same goals in mind- someone who is committed to his family and friends, someone who is a hard worker and shows integrity in what he does, someone who wants to have fun, and most importantly, someone who shares her love and committment to the Lord.
Kristin has always been so strong in her faith. She has complete trust that God is doing good things- even if it's not in the same timing as we would want. She is waiting and trusting patiently in His timing and knows that He has her best interest in mind.
It's such fun to brag on your little sister- even though she's the one I look up to. I know you would love her too!
