Krystal is Libby's oldest daughter, who I have obviously known since before birth. We have enjoyed annual beach trips together sponsored by Grandma Schneider since she was almost 3, as well as many holidays in Portland or visits to Spokane. She has become an avid soccer player, and plays with an elite team that gets to travel for regional games (giving me a chance to meet them for soccer weekends in Tri-cities or south Seattle), as well as playing some volleyball and running in track. Krystal is sixteen now, so she is driving and working at a daycare to save money for a car. She will be a Junior in high school next year and will be 17 by the time of the wedding (gasp!)
Krystal has always been a great kid, and has grown up to be a very mature, responsible young woman who is beautiful, smart and athletic. I'm very proud of her, and proud to have her be a bridesmaid for me.
