Let me introduce you to the parents of Julianne- Kirk & Donna Brady! When they were young teenagers, Kirk’s family bought some property from Donna’s family and they would occasionally cross paths during the summer when Kirk and his brother’s would come to visit around the Current River. After Donna left the University of Delaware, she moved and transferred to Arkansas State University- where Kirk was also commuting to at the time. Donna ended up getting homesick and right before moving back north, Kirk popped the question. They were happily married on July 5, 1974. After being blessed with three girls together, they finally had their last- Julianne. It’s said that Julianne was a very hard child to keep up with. So much so, that Donna would tie bells on her shoes so that you could hear her wherever she was. Apparently, Julianne’s favorite phrase as a young toddler was “what do?”, as in “what’s up?”. Kirk and Donna’s advice for their daughter and Ryan is to never take each other for granted, always remember that the small things mean great things, and they wish them a happy, healthy, God fearing family with tons of laughter and good health!
Let me introduce to you- Kristy & Rodney Walls, also known as Ryan’s parents! Rodney and Kristy were first introduced by a mutual friend and ended up going on their first date in March of 1990. Eventually, on January 25, 1992, they were happily married and then they were blessed with their first child, Ryan, on May 7, 1993. Kristy and Rodney say that there are too many precious memories to choose just one, however the one that sticks with them the most comes from when Ryan was about three years old. Apparently, little Ryan would walk around saying things like “let’s talk business” and then, when asked what kind, he would say “farming business”! And if you’re anyone who knows Ryan at all, then you know that would mean he’s been “talking business” since he was just a little boy! If they could give any advice to Ryan and Julianne, it would be this- always keep God first and don’t forget the power of communication. Rodney and Kristy feel so proud of Ryan and the life he has built! They feel super thankful for Julianne and the love that they have got to witness grow and grow between the both of them.
