The Brady's In The Making: A Timeline

2000: Scott and I met in our college English class and started hanging with mutual friends. We had a lot of fun together and did everything a typical couple does.

2003: Scott and I get engaged and move to Orlando, Florida where Scott takes his 1st Vascular Job. I maintained by waiting tables at night and working in Activities at a Retirement Community. I also worked as a C.N.A. at nights as well.

This is Scott and I when we lived in Orlando. This is our sweet baby girl Bama that we adopted while we lived there. Scott would get lonely when I worked nights and since we had no one else around we went and got Bama. She is the best dog I (we)have ever had.





2004: Scott and I pick up from Orlando and move to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

We got an apartment in town right across from the hospital from where Scott

worked. And no, we are not LSU fans! Roll Tide all the way baby!

2005: July 9th, Scott and I say I do at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Mobile during lovely Hurricane Dennis. We had 60 of our closet friends and family there to celebrate even with all the torrential rain!

2006: Scott and I buy our first home right outside of Baton Rouge in Denham Springs, La.

2008: In March, with only 2 months left of me graduating from college, we were excited to find out we were pregnant with our 1st child! We were nervous as well seeing Baylor wasn't planned but we were still over joyed to have him!

Then in May I graduated with my Bachelor's in Health Service Administration from Our Lady of the Lake College.




My pregnancy progressed well and I really enjoyed it. Every time I felt him kick or move I was giddy knowing that this child made me so happy and he wasn't even born yet. I never knew I could love someone I didn't know so much until I became pregnant. Of course in July we found out we were having a boy! Scott and I had the name Baylor picked out before we even got married so we knew exactly what we were going to name him from the moment we found out he was a boy. My due date was scheduled originally for December 10th 2008.

On December 8th 2008 at 5:05 P.M. my life changed forever. Baylor Scott Brady came into this world weighing 7 lbs 7oz and measuring 18.75 inches long. Baylor is my saving grace.....

2009: Baylor had a lot of 1st this year: 1st Easter, 1st Halloween, 1st B-day and 1st Christmas!

2010: Baylor is well over 1 year old now. We are really enjoying being a family and spend alot of time together. He is running everywhere now and into everything, a typical boy! Unfortunately in February, we lost one of our family members, Bama. It was very sudden and we were all devastated over her loss. I know Baylor was too, Bama was one of his 1st words.

The Brady Bunch est. 2005

We all have a beginning, a middle and an end. Let me tell you how we began:

I grew up in the small town of Spanish Fort, Alabama with my parents and younger brothers (twins). I was your typical southern girl, tomboy, friends with a variety of people, went to public school and grew up Southern Baptist. I graduated high school in 1999 and decided to stay with my roots and went to the local community college. Though my parents and brothers moved away to Tennessee, I wanted to remain close to home because of my elderly grandmother and school. Now Scott grew up very differently than I did. We are from opposite sides of the railroad tracks. Scott grew up in Irvington, Alabama, 30 mins across Mobile Bay from me. Scott was raised Catholic and attended McGill-Toolen Catholic High. After starting college at the University of South Alabama, Scott got into a really bad automobile accident which forced him to drop out. After healing, he enrolled at the same local college I was fixing to attend. That's how we met, our college math and English classes in the year 2000. We dated for several years and we finally got engaged in 2003 and picked up and moved to Orlando after Scott got his first vascular job after graduating college. We lived in Orlando for one year and then got Scott the closest job to Mobile which landed us in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in June 2004. In July 2005, Scott and I tied the knot in Mobile, Alabama during Hurricane Dennis... wow, what a experience! We stayed in Baton Rouge until we bought our first home right outside of BR in June 2006 were we currently reside. I graduated with my Bachelors in Health Service Administration and though I currently don't use my degree (but still paying for it!) I will one day.
Now we begin with the middle: Two months before graduating in March 2008, I found out I was pregnant with our first child. Baylor was born on a cold December 8th day at 5p.m. Coming into this world at 7lbs, 7oz, Baylor was an extraordinary child from the get go and also immediately became my newest addiction. This boy is the love of my life (sorry Scott). Now at 19 months, Baylor is very much a boy and is still my biggest addiction. I work part time so I can be at home with more which is great for both of us. We are a very close knit family seeing we don't have family around to spend time with so we stick together which is great. I am enjoying the beginning of the "middle" part of our life and I look forward to everything that will follow.....And that's how we became "The Brady Bunch"!
