Ten simple things about Crystal that have
forever endeared her to my heart.

~ 1 ~
She communicates well. She is a clear and articulate speaker. She is an eloquent and fluid writer with the ability to firmly defend her position while speaking from the heart.


~ 2 ~
She has strength of conviction. She knows exactly what she believes, and more significantly, she knows why she believes what she does.


~ 3 ~
She has charisma. She has an exuberant and buoyant personality, which is socially contagious. Her smile is infectious, causing others who see it to smile as well.


~ 4 ~
She is matronly. I mean this in the sense that she naturally possesses a mothering and nurturing aura or nature about her. She metaphorically excels at being a mother hen, something with which she has naturally been blessed.


~ 5 ~
She is highly skilled and talented in all the ways that compliment her motherly nature. She sews, quilts, cleans, decorates, organizes, budgets, cajoles a crying child, and most importantly, she is a wonderful cook!


~ 6 ~
She is adventuresome. She is willing to try new things, to continue to learn and grow, to push beyond the boundaries of that which she already knows, to explore the unknown, to chart the un-navigated. . . she has even gone so far as to accept a Frenchman.


~ 7 ~
She is patient. I saw it first in the way she dealt with and continues to deal with her siblings. I then saw it in the way she dealt with the difficulties, trials, and unplanned circumstances of everyday life. Finally, I have seen her exercise great patience toward me.


~ 8 ~
She is gorgeous. She is simply the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. In all my travels, I have yet to see another who can even begin to compare with her.


~ 9 ~
She has a quiet and humble spirit. She has a big and generous heart. These two things, coupled with the peace of the Lord, result in an unparalleled inner beauty that can be seen in her actions, through the warmth of her smile, and the light in her eyes.


~ 10 ~
The single greatest thing about Crystal is her faith. She actively seeks the Lord. In times of happiness and prosperity as well as in those of trial, pressure, and depression, she seeks the Lord in the scriptures and through prayer.
