If I'm being perfectly Honest...

Here are some random facts you may or may not know about me: (A lot of people I know have been doing that thirty day challenge and I am too scatter brained to remember to do that so I just wanted to share some facts instead :)

- My Middle name is Miranda, I never really liked or hated it, I just thought it was ok. There were some conflicting reports about who picked it, Amber said it was her, but my mom told me it was my dad... Who knows

- When I was a baby I stuck my tongue out just like my son does now :)

- I am the third of four daughters, but it's weird because I felt growing up like Jessica and I were both the babies even though I was more a middle child. We were like two sets of kids, with Tiff and Amber having a six year gap between Jessica and I. So in a sense I was the baby and the Oldest of our "set" at the same time.

- I met my husband when I was just fifteen, we started dating when I was sixteen, and were married by twenty-one (I had been twenty one for three days) and strangely enough, I was the oldest of all my sisters when I got married.  That's so Utah :)

- The people closest to me might know this already, I HATED being pregnant, with a passion. Some people might love it, I was not one of them. Mostly I think I hated being restricted, there is so much you can't do and I didn't like mother nature telling me what I could and couldn't do.

- Despite hating being pregnant, I LOVED giving birth. Yes, I said it. Labor was just that, labor, but the actual giving birth part, the last like twenty minutes of it was so amazing! If I could just do that part again and skip everything else I would! When they placed Riley on my stomach and I saw what all the restrictions and hard work had been about I was so.. Proud! He looked right into my eyes and I said, "Hi baby, your so gross!" (He was really slimy) But I was crying as I said which meant I loved him anyways :)

- I know it can go either way, But I think having a baby has only made Ash and I closer.

- Riley Ray is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me

- My little sister Jessica is my best friend

- It amazed me when Ash and I stopped Partying, when we got pregnant and had the baby, so many "friends" quit coming around. We found out who was really a friend, and who never was.

- I can be evil, mean, and nasty if I don't like you. On the other hand, I can be a very loyal, loving friend

- I am the only woman at my place of business, "the girl in the office" is what most people refer to me as and I don't mind.

- I was in Therapy for awhile dealing with the loss of my dad, and my control issues. Though I don't think I stayed with it as long as I should have, I learned a lot about myself.

- I still miss and think about my dad every day, sometimes I wonder if anyone will really ever get me the way he did.

- I don't like to admit it much, but I am a lot like my grandmother

- I really don't want to, or admit it, but I kind of like my mom's fiance Jordan...

- I absolutely Love and Adore my quirky, hilarious, loving, generous, Husband Ashley Ray!!! I'm as crazy about him now as I was as a kid :)

- When I first met Ash, it was NOT love at first sight... In fact I'm pretty sure I made fun of him. But as soon as I got to know him, there has been no one else I could ever see at my side.

- My family is crazy and over-dramatic... but I love them, every last crazy one of them!

In case you didn't know :)

Much Love,
Crystal

  1. I, of course, cried when I read that I was your best friend :) I knew I was, but hearing you say it (or reading it, rather) made it real :D You are my best friend, too and you always will be! I love you!
