BioMy name is Crystal, and I live in Athens, Georgia. I've been married to Ben since September 2003, and our daughter Avery Kathryn was born on February 19th, 2008. Life couldn't get much better at this point. I'm a 2nd grade teacher, and I love my job. It can be very challenging, yet it's incredibly rewarding. Because I would like to keep my job, my journal is friends only. Just comment to be added!
