Chad here. I am new to this blogging thing but I had to write about this special day:

For those who have ever quite smoking or have ever tried to quite smoking, you guys will understand. This is the one year anniversary for Allie being smoke free and I just wanted her to know how proud I am of her! To celebrate this special day, we fired up the grill and cooked some chicken wings and burgers, two West household favorites. In honor of Allie's "One Year Smoke Free Day", we opened a bottle of red wine, sat around, and didn't smoke. Congratulations, Allie!
