I should tell you that Kristin hates attention, its part of the reason why she is so good at getting overlooked for a lot of the work she does behind the scenes and the accomplishments we have had in the business as a result of her hard work. She is so genuine and humble that she wouldn't have it any other way. But for today, I am going to bring to light some of the many ways that she continually blesses me, our business and our marriage.
Side note: Kristin has no clue that I posted this today and will probably kill me for it but I think its a risk worth taking. I even changed the blog admin password JUST in case she was tempted to take it down :)
When thinking about the qualities that Kristin possess I am always reminded of Proverbs 31:10-31 referring to the virtuous wife and how much it reflects Kristin's character. To understand the depth of character I am talking about you can read it here! She embodies all of these amazing attributes in a variety of different ways and I praise Jesus all the more for giving me such a precious gift.
Whether its answering emails, culling, editing, organizing, designing albums, developing strategies, networking, fine tuning work-flow, spell-checking (sorry if this post is full of spelling and grammatical errors ;) since Kristin is in charge of it I have only myself to blame) running logistics, budgeting projects, blogging, concept designing, or taking RIDICULOUSLY amazing images, Kristin does it all flawlessly and with such dedication and passion. And this is just the business side of things! When it comes to our marriage and our personal relationship the list seems unending! She always makes sure im comfortable, supported, happy, full of food (Its the Filipino in her plus I typically dont think to eat..see God knows what He's doing) respected, trusted, filled with confidence and loved with a depth that I know can only be heaven sent.
To say that I am proud to be her husband and her business partner would be the biggest understatement ever. I am beyond blessed to have the privilege to serve along side the woman I love as we walk through this life together. Thank you Kristin on behalf of myself and all our happy clients for all the incredibly long hours that you put in and the level of commitment you have to your job and your husband :) We are all the better for it!

(07.11.11 @ 10:46 AM)you guys are the sweetest! you set such an example as both a husband and wife, and partners in business. kristin, you deserve the praise your lucky husband is bestowing upon you :) and to add to that list, you are absolutely gorgeous!
(07.11.11 @ 10:54 AM)Yes true that! She is HOT! (haha she is going to be so embarrassed when she reads all of this!)
(07.11.11 @ 10:57 AM)This is an incredibly sweet blog post that makes tangible the love you have for your wife, Brandon. I'm positive she would only have the same things to say about you. Thank you for sharing!
(07.11.11 @ 10:59 AM)Both of you are awesome
(07.11.11 @ 11:09 AM)ahhh! LOVE this post. SO sweet. so sincere. how funny you changed the password ;)
(07.11.11 @ 12:01 PM)I can't tell you how proud I am of both of you. I am so honored and blessed to a part of your lives and to call Kristin my God daughter. She is truly, the proverbs 31 woman! Kris, even though you are all grown up, you will always be my little angel.
(07.11.11 @ 12:09 PM)you guys are soooo darn cute....so sweet :))))
(07.11.11 @ 12:26 PM)Brandon - how wonderful that you recognize all these things in Kristin, and even more so that you make it known to everyone! You are both incredible people and I love you both so much! What a lucky mom I am!

(07.11.11 @ 05:10 PM)What a beauty of a post! So precious...Kristin you are beautiful!
(07.11.11 @ 06:49 PM)LOVE this. How awesome that you were able to stop and appreciate something right in front of you that others sometimes take for granted.
(07.11.11 @ 08:25 PM)Brandon- This is such an amazing blog. You and Kristin make a beautiful couple. I am happy for the both of you that you have found such happiness and love in each other.
(07.11.11 @ 09:58 PM)I wish there was an "I LOVE this" button. Kristin is definitely everything you said and more. So blessed to even be a friend of hers and yours!! Thanks for reminding us just how AWESOME she is!! Love you guys!!

(07.12.11 @ 12:09 AM)Hi Brandon, I've been following your blog for a while and this is my first post. I just want to say that that is really sweet.
(07.12.11 @ 03:07 AM)Well, I'll offer one of the few MALE perspectives on this post... :) Brandon, Kristin truly is a very special wife- it's been a pleasure to re-get to know her in recent years, as well as you buddy. And if there were a "Proverbs 32 husband", you'd be it. :) Never cease to publicly brag on your wife- you may get an eye roll or two, but hey, that's just part of being married to a loving husband...
(07.12.11 @ 09:47 AM)Oh my! That was THE sweetest thing EVER! You two are amazing! :)
(07.12.11 @ 10:21 AM)my heart just melted! you two are sooo adorable together!
(07.12.11 @ 12:54 PM)This is BEYOND amazing! So thoughtful, I'm sure she appreciates it. Any wife would. I love that you changed the password....good thinking. =)
(07.12.11 @ 02:23 PM)What a sweet and beautiful message for a loving husband!
(07.18.11 @ 09:14 AM)Im a proud Filipino!!! You're such a lucky guy:)

(02.01.11 @ 07:01 AM)That's awesome. Praise the Lord. God is so gracious to us and gives us so much more than we could ever want or expect. Can't wait to see whats coming next.

(02.04.11 @ 08:53 PM)Congratulations! It was so great meeting you both that night!
(02.06.11 @ 03:03 AM)1400 miles traveled and a couple hundred awesome conversations later I came back home with quite a breath of fresh air! It was so cool to see God's beauty in His creation, to feel His love and grace, to be in His presence unlike any other place and to see Him move and work in the hearts of His people. I was truly blessed to be apart of the trip. I was encouraged, challenged and excited to come home renewed and restored! I already can't wait for the next opportunity to go again! Here is my puny attempt in trying to capture the magnificent beauty of God's creation and a few of our experiences along the way! Enjoy!
A quick little Jowl-sess then back on the road!
I am completely obsessed with clouds!
One of my favorite shots of the trip! I love the look of these trees!
It felt like we were on the top of the world
This is me taking a picture of Half Dome facing a 7200 foot drop off into the valley! Thanks for the shot Mike. 
This is what happens when 10 guys are stuck in an RV for too long!
