• ABOUT US •

Hi y'all!! Welcome to Hall Around Texas. 
We're the Halls...Crystal, Nathan, Mason, Diesel {our little yorkie}, and Lexi {our yellow lab}. 

 Nathan and I are high school sweethearts and working on our 21st year together. I know...how can that be when we're only 21?! Ha! I wish. We started dating when we were 14 & 15. It is the biggest blessing to be married to your best friend.

After 2+ long years of trying to conceive we welcomed our sweet little Mason Lane {in 2010}. {birth story here} He has completed our lives in more ways than we can count. He's the light of our world and the joy in our hearts. 

Why Hall Around Texas? Well, we're the Halls and we love Texas and love to travel around Texas. We were all born and raised in Texas around the DFW metromess. Right now we are about 35 miles south of Dallas in a charming little town we love to call home.
