Best concert ever!

Today in the life,
I am still feeling the massive energy I received from the Usher concert 2 days ago!  Wow can that man perform. He engaged the crowd, controlled the stage like nobody's business and gave an amazing show. I had bought the tickets for my mom for her 50th birthday. She loves Usher (who doesn't right?) Anyways, I am so glad I got tickets because he blew my mind. He literally sounded like his voice was on the radio. So clean, he hit every high note with ease and the best part was that you felt his passion for what he does. You could feel his joy and happiness to do what he loves! We were so lucky to witness that!

So I most definitely recommend seeing his concert!

Also on the plus side DJ Cassidy opened for him as well as August Alsina...he has such an amazing voice too. He will go far for sure. You can tell when someone just has that drive to do and be better!

Anyways, have an amazing night!

Background On...Well...Me!

Hey there,

My name is Crystal and this blog is all about a day in the life of me. I'm just a regular gal, no celebrity status here, but I have been blessed with an exciting and busy life. My son will soon be 8yrs old (Plot twist #1 my fiancé and I were both16yrs old when I gave birth to our beautiful boy). Can you sense the drama we encountered? Being sophmores in high school, scared to become parents, scared to inform our parents with the news (Plot twist #2 my son has been the best gift in my life). 

So there I was, pregnant at 16 and deciding what the best course of action was in order to move forward. Thinking back, this was a critical moment/decision in my life. I held my head up and told myself I wouldn't be another statistic of a young girl getting pregnant and ruining her life. I decided in this moment that I would fight as hard as I could to be successful and take care of my child, not only financially but by being an amazing mom. In order to do this, I knew I needed to finish high school. 

I have always enjoyed learning and up to that point in my life I was in a very good position academically. Therfore, continuing school was a must. I decided to talk to my counselor (for the second time throughout my high school career) and I asked him if I could take online classes in the summer in order to complete the classload I would have had in my first semester of junior year. This way I could stay at home during my last trimester of pregnancy and not fall behind on my coursework. He loved the idea and we set it all up. Throughout that summer I contacted my counselor a few times to take my exams and one day he mentioned that he attended Colorado School of Mines and that I should think about applying there for college. He stated he was unable to complete the degree but with my background in science and math I should check it out. I had never heard of it before. But long story short I applied there and got in! I am currently a senior in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering! Super excited to have only a year left! :) 

Thanks for reading. More interesting stories to come!
