Hello. My name is Crystal and I am 28 years old. I spent 7 years in the Marine Corps and I am now a stay-at-home mom while I attend College. I have one son. He is currently 4 years old. He is my joy! I would have to bring him to work with me, due to the fact that we do not want him in day care, or I can sit at my home.
