Quick History....

Here is a quick refresh on the Smith family fairytale.  While attending school in Provo I met a super cute kid by the name of Daryk Smith who I quickly befriended.  Daryk ofcourse relayed the message to older brother Trevyn Smith of the new girl he had met.  While living 4 hours from mom and dad, feeling as though on the road to starvation blind dates became a nightly event for myself and roomies(blind date=free food).  Apparently in the state of Utah it is not uncommon for people to call and text someone who has not given out their number;) so I was not suprised one bit to recieve a text from the unknown Smith brother requesting a "blind date," I was however suprised by the confidence level of someone who I'd never met.  Everything progressed very quickly after this.  Within a month all other "blind dates" were elliminated, within two months we were leaving the country together, within three months there was a wedding in the makes.  Both Trev and I were very eager to have a family, there was much talk of a honeymoon baby, apparently the both of us jumped the gun;) although contradictory to our beliefs, our little princess Ryan Rae was concieved mid wedding plans, so although only bridesmaides had dresses and planning would not be as lax as I had envisioned it, we moved the wedding up and were married 5 months later.  The wedding was beautiful and life after was ever better.  We moved north to Ogden for Trev to finish out his school and athletic career.  Soon after Ryan was born and diagnosed with optic-nerve hypoplasia leaving her with limited or no vision of which we were unsure at the time.  We soon after tried once again for a little one, a sibling to look over her, hence Reggi James;).  A couple years later Trev finished out his football career leaving behind an amazing legacy, and now here we are in Springville helping raise my two younger brothers, finishing both our educations, and starting down yet another road.
