Brad and Phoenix went to the same high school and didn't even know it until one day when, Brad was a Gaurd on the football team and Phoenix was the team manager, Phoenix built up the courage to walk up behind Brad and tell him her best friend thought his butt looked good. :P Little did Brad know that Phoenix was talking about herself. Little did Phoenix know Brad wanted it to be Phoenix who liked his butt. They went on to be best friends all throughout high school and even after high school. One day when Brad and phoenix were hanging out at Phoenixs house, Phoenix went inside and complained to her brother Jeffery that she wanted to be with Brad, she had wanted to be with him the past 4 years. Jeffery then went outside and told Brad about Phoenix complaining. When Phoenix came back outside Brad had askeD her to be his girlfriend. She of course said YES!!!

Brad and Phoenixs first date was the day after they got together. They had spent all night talking not even realizing how late it was. Then at around 6 in the morning they started an adventure. They went and seen where Brad had played soccer when he was younger and then went to Quick Trip to get a drink. When they came out of QT it was sprinkling and so they had to go back to Phoenixs house and put her windows up. After that the date had ended due to rain, but they still hung out all day.

Brads mom and dad took phoenix in when she had some unfotunate luck with her father. So Phoenix met Brads Mom and dad officially at 7pm one day while taking her blanky and pillow to Brads room. Phoenix was of course and still is very thankful and super shy. Brads parents were loving and caring from the very beginning even though they barely knew Phoenix. Brad had met Phoenixs parents about 2 years before they started dating.

One night while Brad and Phoenix were laying in bed watching television Brad had looked at Phoenix. Actually was hardcore staring at her with a smile on his face. Phoenix had noticed and asked him what was up with him. She didn't get a straight answer out of him. He just starred into her eyes. Eventually he said "Will you marry me?" Phoenix was shocked but looked at him happily and said, YES!

To be honest, Phoenix and Brad had been together and engaged for about 2 years and they were trying to have a baby. Doctors had told Phoenix she wasn't going to be able to carry a child. They still tried up until they had finally decided they were done trying and that it would happen eventually. They went with Brads family on vacation for a float trip and some laid back camping. Not thinking about having a baby. The vacation was amazing...like always. When they got back Phoenix had went to a friends house and realized she felt different. She went to the store and got a test and it came out POSITIVE! Brad was on break at work and called Phoenix to talk. Phoenix had told Brads reaction was "Wait, are you serious?" 9 long months later they had a baby girl Bella!
