Welcome to my crazy, messy life. I'm Brienne, but I go by Bri most of the time. I'm married to my best friend Patrick. We have had a crazy journey so far. We have been married for 3 years and together for a little over 4. The first year and a half of our relationship was spend living apart. We were the online couple who traveled 8 hours to see each other every weekend. Then we went through our first deployment. Our second didn't happen until our daughter was born. As you can probably guess my husband was in the military. The navy to be specific, but now he is going to school to become a firefighter. As for me, I'm a stay at home mom, a Thirty-One consultant, and I am currently writing my own romance novel. We live a crazy life, that just got messier when we had our daughter.
This is my little family. My daughters name is Riley, and she will be two in just a few weeks. She is on the tiny side but she is just perfect. Born at 37 weeks she only weighed 5lbs. 4oz. due to being IUGR. Me and her spent the last month of my pregnancy alone because daddy was out at sea. We had the help of our families because I moved home. I was scared to raise my daughter alone with two big dogs. At 34 week pregnant I got told i was only measuring 32 weeks and that they wanted to do a ultra sound to find out why. At 35 weeks we went in to find out why she was small, we found out her growth had slowed to the point where they believed she wasn't getting enough nutrition. Which to this day we don't know why. The specialist we went to see said that it would be risking her if i went past 37 weeks. so we didn't and because of this circumstance Patrick got to fly in for the week of her birth. On 11/25/13 our beautiful baby was born. and just 3 days later Patrick was gone again. He didn't get to hold her again till she was almost six months old. But despite her small start into this world she is healthy as can be, yet she is still a tiny little thing. She is the messy, because she loves to make messes with everything from her toys or even her dinner.
Along with this crazy kid. we have the two biggest babies, Bela (light brown) and Harley (tan brindle) They are 5 and 7, and some of the laziest dogs I have ever met. Bella is my mutt and is Riley's best friend. she puts up with everything including being jumped on. Harley on the other hand is a pitbull and is the grumpy old man, and would rather spend his days sitting on the back porch, than playing with Riley. They are both over 60lbs and slowing down in their old age. They are lovers not fighters and I consider them my first babies. I rescued them both, and hope to continue to rescue more in the future.
Life is hard sometimes but we make the best of it. We are all healthy and happy, and that is what really matters. No matter what struggles we face we face them together. So that is my crazy, messy family, and they are mine. I wouldn't have it any other way.
