• I have struggled with my weight since I was a preteen. My heaviest was 170lbs and it took me a year and a half to lose it. Even though I am now at a healthy weight, I am not happy with the way my skin looks after being that big. I get really sad about it sometimes and just want to hide my body. It makes me feel really insecure at times.

• My brothers lovingly nicknamed me "Sistal". (Crystal+Sister)
• I want a family with all of my heart. I babysat from age 11 to 17, from 7am to 7pm almost EVERYDAY. I swore I'd never have kids. Well my desires changed and I wouldn't mind  having 4+ kids. Not anytime soon but until the day comes I will always find away to be around kids, they brighten my life.

• I enjoy spending time with people who are passionate about life.
• I want to lunge the kingwood college parking lot.

• I have no Grandparents, the last of them died in 2010. I feel like a different person without them and I wish they were still here to be a part of my life.
• My hubby and I are part of an Acts 29 church. I have never seen christianity done this way. On Sunday mornings we meet in an music venue and as missionaries we have a beer with the locals. We actually spend time together becoming friends and don't just see people on Sunday. We are there for each other like family, if I need a place to stay, my bills  paid or a listening ear I know I could go to them like I would go to my family. Our focus is to love Christ and to glorify Him. We do that by following His example and that of the early church's as well.
• I have a thing for beards, and yes I think my husband's beard is sexy.
• Tomorrow Christopher Ryan Buck and I will be married a year!
• #26:p I got married young, put up with a lot and dished out a lot.That's okay because I've learned so much and I want to love and serve Chris for the rest of my life. He's my man and I want to celebrate with him and mourn with him. Doing life by his side, we'll have hard times and good times. With that said, it will be a worthwhile adventure.
