{Day 1...Me in 250 words}

Day 1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less

I'm Crystal Nicole, a born and raised Texan. I made my debut into the world on January 18, 1981 (old, I know). I am the oldest of three kids. Most of my childhood thru my high school years was spent in Cheerleading and Gymnastics. My darling husband, Nathan, and I met and started dating when we were just kids in high school. This November will mark our 17th year together. We married on August 25th of 2006 at Hanging Gardens. Almost the minute after we said "I do" we started looking to get a house out in the "country". In April 2007 we moved into our little piece of paradise. We bought a house on a little over 2 acres and our property backs up to my in-laws property. We share a back gate. I absolutely LOVE being that close to them. And my parents are only a hop, skip and a jump away. Awesome! After over 2 years of trying we found out we were pregnant on September 25th, 2009. Our precious little Mason Lane was born on May 25th, 2010. Nothing compares to that day. Nothing. Becoming a Mother is something I've always wanted to do and seeing Nathan become a Daddy, oh, that just quadrupled my heart in size. We are an outdoorsy type of family who loves traveling, camping, and of course baseball! I have a passion for photography, but haven't quite mastered Photoshop yet. I love all things vintage and turquoise. I dream of living on a large working farm some day. I adore my little family and being a wife and a mother. I'm learning to master toddlerhood....one day at a time. We are blessed beyond measure all praise be to Jesus!

that was 288 words, in case you were wondering!

  2. I LOVE learning more about you friend! Although I've always lived in VERY busy, VERY fast-paced Southern California, there is a small part of me that dreams of the slower pace in the country somewhere. Or at least the beach lol. You are so dang pretty and so is little Mason! We'll have to meet up someday! xoxo :)

  4. Found you through the May blog challenge link-up! Your little boy is adorable! :) We too lived right behind my in-laws after marriage, but then built a house just a hop, skip and a jump away. It's nice to have family so close!

  10. Umm.. So we have the same middle name! =) I already told you that you and my husband have the same birthday and then Mine and Mason's is a day apart! I want to live on a full blown farm someday too. Be able to work on the farm and raise my kids working on it! We are looking to try and start a cattle empire(hehe) with Chris's boss, so hopefully I will at least be able to live on a cattle ranch!
