After 12 months, 8 crazy road trips through basically the entire west US, 2 big screen TVs (thank-you summer sales!! :) 5 moves to 4 states, 3 cars, 2-many recruiting dinners at Apple bee's to count, 5 cell phones, 9 months of morning sickness, 2 drastic hair cuts :( eek, 6 major league baseball games, 2 summers of sunshine, heat, rain, rainbows...and about a million doors, 2 weeks of a dreadful colds, 10,000 diet cokes (just an estimate :), 2 cell phone plans, 2 vacations to Mexico to 4 different cities, 4 wii games mastered, 9 beaches, 2 shopping sprees (again thanks eclipse!!), 39 recruited salesman, 4 scrapbooks, 6 nephews/nieces, 2 dives for cash, And 1 Beautiful baby later---We made it to our 1 year mark!!
This last Sunday was our first anniversary! I can't believe it's been a year already...I guess the old cheesy saying must be true-Time flys when you having fun! This year has been literally the best year of my life! Ryan and I have had some pretty exciting and not-so-exciting marriage building experiences. We really have had the chance to start to grow together through the fun times and some really really hard times. This year Ryan worked hard to get an amazing job Managing which has truly been such a blessing, we have gotten to spend so much time together just the two of us, and now as a family!! I loved having him around so much during the days, and loved to go out to work with him at night and over the weekends! An unfortunate accident, with a happy ending, brought us out to Colorado this winter, which turned out to be better than imagined!! We got to spend lots of time with my family and with Ryan's Family---including Christmas with Ry's adorable little siblings (I wish you all could of seen them drooling over the stairwell c-mas morning!=) We also had many nights of Wii dates with our Friends Paul, Rachel, Travis and Katie (we love Mario party), swimming at the Pinnacle Pool, G's Dairy--have you ever been there? It's Amazing!! Going on Fun drives to Yellowstone with our buddy Addison, watching the 6th season of 24 (for you dad!), many late night trips to Horkley's to rent a $1 movie and $1.69 bread sticks from Little Ceasers (my biggest craving all 9 months), power slides in Burrito, 24 hour Prison Break Marathon with Jarom and Megan, and of course our favorite thing... hours and hours of late night nesting!!!
WHAT A YEAR!!!
So to celebrate we decided to got the Dodgers-Angels game!! Which if you know me I LOVE BASEBALL, in any way shape or form, and especially rival games!! Ryan grew up loving the Dodgers and most importantly those Dodger Dogs, so it was a total Blast!!! A couple fights in the stand broke out,mostly girls, kinda weird I know, so that kept the first couple of slow innings more exciting! And then there was these three little cute kids the oldest couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 who were yelling at the players louder and more than me!! So cute :) kinda hope my kids love the sport that much!!!

After the game Ry took me to the Melting Pot for dinner.....YUM!! It was amazing as usual, and so was my husband! Thanks Ry for the best year ever and even more for the better years to come!!

Crazy that's it's already been a year...then on the other hand, with all the things you've been through & a baby too, it better have been a year by now!!! So...CONGRATS!!! So glad you guys are so happy & have each other. What a wonderful world! p.s. Ryan J. SMITH is gonna' be super jealous of the ball game (guess that's another commonality the 2 Ryan J's may have).
CONGRATS!!! That is pretty crazy!! We're SO happy that Ryan is a part of our family... and that now we have Milly, too!
No, I think the old saying is 1 year down...1 kid. 10years down...10 kids. At least that's what you promised prenupts and we're making ya stick to it. Heck with the Dodgers games you could own yer own team!!
You guys have had a lot of fun for sure, but believe it or not the best is yet to come. It only gets better. Keep enjoying the ride!
It seems like you've been married more than a year...I guess because so much has happened in the last year. I am happy for your guys. Ryan is a cool dude and we for sure love Milly! Maybe year 2 can include a trip to FL to visit US???? You being married and us both being mommies has been cool. I am glad that we have much more in common now and have gotten close. Love ya!
Mims, I LOVE that new b &w pic of Milly on the side (the nakey pic w/her hair done)... she looks so old!! Can she only be 4 months??? SUCH a doll!
Congrats You guys! Wow I can't believe that it has been a year already. Time just totally flies by. Glad to see you guys are having a good summer! We sould have a big reunion when we all get back!

Congrats, Mims, on hitting the year mark. Time sure does fly.
