Happy Birthday Crys!

Crystal turned 26 today! Thanks to all of those who called to wish her a happy birthday! If you didn't call you can always leave a comment on this post telling her how great she is. It's a lot of fun to be able to celebrate Crystal for a day. I'm sure her birthday will eventually become a national or worldwide holiday because of the lives she touches. Who knows how I ended up with the most incredible woman on Earth. Many of you have benefited from or seen Crystal's ability to relate to and help anyone. She has so much compassion. Her love is fairly obvious for her family and those she knows well, but people who might not even remember her name remember simple things she's done for them. Rarely does a week pass that Crystal doesn't make a dinner, a cake, or cookies for someone who could use it. She is so aware of everyone's needs and so willing to reach out and help. You have no idea how frequently she helps an elderly person down the stairs or to their car, makes sure no one is secluded from a conversation or feeling left out, spends hours talking to me about someone she knows who's going through a tough time and what she can do to help, and so many other things. Crystal has so many other great qualities and if I start listing nobody will read the post unless I sell it as a novel.

Crystal, I hope you know how much Crew and I love you. You're everything to us. You make our lives better everyday. I feel like nothing could get any better, but I know I'll look back on this in a couple of years and realize I had no idea how great it could be. Thanks for all you've helped me accomplish. Your testimony has strengthened mine and driven me to be a better person. I love you and happy birthday!!!
