Go to your BG1 directory, copy the *.chr file from the "Characters" directory, paste said file in the "characters" directory of BG2.

EDIT: Alternatively, just copy your last save from BG1 to your save directory of BG2, and in BG2 character creation, import character from save file.

Hmmm, I'm looking in all of the folders listed under BG1 and i see none with my character save or any of my saved games....where would they be, or why would they not be showing up when I'm looking in that folder?

That means they're probably here:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\<game folder>\
