23. She’s generous with her hair teasing knowledge.
From Lara:
24. Kristin is driven and unafraid! She came up to me the first time I met her, at our first Gingerbread Barn event, and said, “Hi, my name is Kristin. I love reading your blog, I’ve had you in my prayers (I had just given birth to Grace) and I would love to work for you.”
25. She is passionate. Her energy and zest for life are contagious!
26. She is a visionary, always looking ahead to grow our company so we can help more couples celebrate love.

We love you, KNW! Happy 30th!
Mercy, y’all!! This is beyond words. Thank YOU!!! xoxo.
I love that Kristin texts Lincoln pictures of the cows in her backyard. I love that she’s my accountability partner. I love her encouraging texts and messages that always seem to come at the right time. I love that after spending only two days with her she has made me feel like we’ve been friends forever. Happy 30th KNW!!!
