Crystal graduated with an Associates degree in Business Office Technology from Laramie County Community College in 1998.  In November 1998, her first daughter Shaylee was born in Laramie. The family moved to Ft. Collins, Colorado in the fall of 2001 for Harve to attend veterinary school. Lyndi was born in Ft. Collins in March of 2005.  After graduation, they moved back to Star Valley. It was wonderful to be back close to family. They lived in Afton, Osmond, and Grover.  Crystal was caring and loving. She taught her daughters to be mannerly and respectful.
