Crystal and I turned 23 yesterday. It's crazy how fast time flies! 23 years ago (it was also a Saturday) we were born, seven weeks early in Gallup, New Mexico. Crystal was born with a condition known as duodenal atresia. She needed surgery immediately and was flown to the closest out of three hospitals in the nation, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After a couple months in the hospital, I was finally reunited with my best friend and partner in crime. Since then, we have caused too much mischief, laughed until we cried, played pranks, gotten in fights for one another, traveled the country, won state championships, and so many other things. She's my best friend and feel blessed that I was sent to this earth with her. I couldn't imagine my life without her.
This was the first birthday that we spent apart, and it was much harder than I thought it would be. 22 other birthdays were spent together, and it was so weird not to be with her this year. The Lord blessed me with a new family and my soon-to-be mother in law to share the day with! I miss my family, but it makes it so much easier to have a good family out here in Utah, too.
