Taylors’ love story started with toothache
While working as a dental assistant, Lane Taylor came in with a toothache, which could be considered the beginning of his love story with wife Jordan Chambliss Taylor
Jordan Taylor grew up in Louisville with her parents, Michael and Vicky Chambliss, and her younger sister, Reagan. After graduating from Meridian Community College as a dental assistant, she got a job in Philadelphia.
She is now working with her husband at Lane Taylor Auction Company.
“I do a little bit of everything,” said Taylor, the office manager.
They are are expecting their first child, a baby girl, in February.
The Taylors attend church at The Way Community Church in Louisville. Her hobbies include spending time with family, playing with her dog Allie and cooking.
Her cooking influence is her mother. “My favorite thing my mom cooks is chicken and dumplings.”
Although Taylor does not have children yet, she cooks a lot for Lane and friends. Her favorite thing to cook for her friends is chicken enchiladas with green chili sour cream sauce.
Her favorite food, however, chicken nuggets and mac n cheese.
Taylors favorite thing to cook is a casserole or crockpot meal. Her favorite part of cooking is trying new recipes—her least favorite cooking up.
Taylor does, however, enjoy finding new recipes. She mainly gets her recipes from her mother, Food Network, or Pinterest.
Taylor and her husband’s family are remarkably close. During the week, the Taylors will eat with Lane’s family. Every Sunday, they go to her family home in Louisville.
