Bridget Baylor was born as the first and only child to Lisa Callaghan. Her father disappeared from the picture shortly after Bridget was born. Her mom worked her butt off to give her daughter a good life. For most of Bridget's adolescance it was just the two of them and Bridget liked it that way. Then when Bridget was 13, Lisa met Mark Baylor and he and his son seemed like the missing pieces to their family. A year after dating, Ray proposed to Lisa and a couple months later, the couple married and Ray adopted Bridget. Ray was the father Bridget never had but always secretly wanted. He worked a great deal, but always made it to her plays and art shows and anything else she wanted him to be at. Bridget excelled in high school and was accepted to NYU and Berkley, but decided to attend the University of Georgia, her mother's alma mater in her hometown. Bridget is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She will never utter an unkind word or hold a grudge. Her family means everything to her and her friends are like a second family. There's nothing she wouldn't do for them. She loves to cook and is always baking up treat baskets for the different houses and cooking dinner for her own house, even though she knows she doesn't have to. It seemed like culinary arts would be a sure pick for her major, but she decided to go a completely different route, one totally unexpected by her family and friends. She announced that she would be majoring in art with a minor in photography. Sure, Bridget was always snapping photos and she'd much rather draw cartoons than pay attention to her parents or anything else that required more attention than a six-year old, but they seemed more like hobbies than anything she'd want to turn into a career. Her mother nearly had a heart attack when she found out. Culinary arts was a hard enough career field to get into, but art? Photography? Her only daughter was doomed to live out her days as a starving artist. What no one knew was that Bridget had a hidden talent for painting. Put a paintbrush in the girl's hand and she could come up with a masterpiece. At the end of her junior year, she was offered an opportunity to go to Rome for an exlusive art program. Of course she said yes and even dragged her best friend along with her. Her senior year was the biggest however. She rekindled her romance with the goofy slacker she left behind in the summer which turned into a great love which by late fall, turned into an engagement which by early winter turned into a marriage. The two eloped in a small but still equally beautiful ceremony at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and followed it up in the summer with a formal ceremony with all their friends and family. Everyone said that they were the perfect couple and they were. But not everything was perfect. Shortly after the two were engaged, Bridget fell ill and had to go to the hospital. While there, the doctor did a routine pregnancy test and discovered that she could not have children. Bridget was devastated. Having a family played such a pivotal role in her dreams for the future. Nick did his best to help her through it and in time, she came to terms with it. Bridget graduated and stayed in Georgia while Nick finished college. After, the two moved to New York where Bridget opened her own bakery and continued to persue her art.
•• Is deathly afraid of heights, but would still wishes she could parachute from a plane or bungee jump
•• Spent the summer after her junior year of college in Rome, which was her first trip out off the country without her parents or siblings, but not her last. She spent her honeymoon in Ireland.
•• Before she left Rome to come back home, she got a tattoo at her best friend's urging. She now sports a tiny butterffly and the words "regolare il suo cuore libera", which means "set your heart free" in italian, on her left wrist.
•• She has horrible memory. She'll always walk into a room and forget what she came in there for or completely forget what she had for dinner the night before.
•• Is a bed hog. She loves her space and especially her pillows. If she could, she would live in a castle made completely out of pillows.
•• Never brushes her hair. She just showers and goes. It just dries straight for some reason.
