How They Met!
Jeff and Laurie (ie: Daddy and Mommy) met in Art class Freshman year of high school in Naperville, Illinois. They happened to sit at the same table, and got to talking. Mommy already had a boyfriend, but it didn't work out (obviously) so then she and Daddy started dating February 21, 1992.

After highschool they both attended the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. Mommy got a BA in
Art Education, and Daddy got his degree in Bioengineering. After almost eight years of dating they
finally got married on July 24, 1999!

They had a beautiful wedding (or so I'm told), and a gorgeous honeymoon in Hawaii!

After that they moved to Seattle, Washington so Daddy could go to grad. school. He received his Masters in Bioengineering, and that just about brings us up to date. Daddy got a job working for a company called Gore so they moved once again. This time to Flagstaff, Arizona. They bought a beautiful home, and decided to start a family!
This is the good part!!! On February 3, 2004 Bailey Lucas Schwartz was born (that's me!)
Back to the good stuff!
