Brandon Quit Smoking!

Brandon had a pretty nasty habit when we started dating. He smoked cigarettes, a lot of them. One day when we were hanging out at my parents house, my baby brother Jake told Brandon that if he quit smoking cigarettes then he'd throw him a "One Month Smoke Free" Party. Brandon agreed to quit. On April 11, 2010, Brandon officially quit smoking cigarettes!! :)

On May 11, 2010 we had a party to celebrate! Complete with a Hawaiian theme, we had decorations, party favors, and gifts for the guest of honor. We celebrated with my whole family, Brandon's whole family, and our good family friends the Beeson's.

(They both quit smoking cigarettes as well, only about one month later!)

Brandon quit smoking cold turkey, and has more self control than anyone I know. He struggled through the first several weeks, having cravings and temptations all around him. It has now been over a year and he looks back and is shocked that he ever had such a bad habit. His example of sheer will power is inspiring and has been a help to many others!
