A Perfectly Ordinary Introduction

 Hello, dear reader. While having previously failed an attempt, albeit a half-assed one, at blogging, I do believe now is the perfect time to begin anew. My life is about to take off at a dauntingly chaotic pace in a direction I've seen coming for far too long and I think I'd like an audience to share in this journey. Going it alone is going to be hard, so give me a little company! If you're asking yourself why, my husband is a pilot in the United States Marine Corps and will soon be off on his very first deployment. He has been in training for half a decade. No, no. You read that right. Excessive, you say? Oh no. He will be piloting an MV-22, more widely known as an Osprey. Typically, one would insert a link here to direct you to more in-depth information about the fascinating Osprey, but so much of my life revolves around this thing that I don't think I have enough room for it in my blogosphere, as well. No, this little box filled with words on your screen will be mine, and only mine. My sanctuary.

Maybe now is a great time to tell just a little about myself, so I seem relatable. My name is Brianna. I was born and raised in the golden flatlands known as Central Indiana. ( Any fellow Hoosiers* reading, just go ahead and follow now. Go on, don't worry. I'll wait. ) I grew up with a passion for reading- possibly because my grandpa owned a bookstore and my stepfather and brother both work at a printing factory-, animals, friends, and the oxford comma. I married my wonderful husband, then 24, at the tender age of 19. I'm sure I'll tell our story someday soon, but today is not that day. Today, I give you the most basic of basics. We have two children, Ayden and Beau. 15 months apart. Yes, we are insane. Clearly.
We reside in the lovely state of North Carolina now, where we are new homeowners and, therefore, avid DIYers. I love to cook, hate to clean, and thoroughly enjoy entertaining people in our home. I am about to start school locally and will hopefully work towards earning a B.A. in Communications while being a full time SAHM**.

I am 5'5", ever changing hair color, blue eyes, and a mouth quick to get myself into trouble. I do, in fact, have style, I simply choose not to utilize it until circumstances are dire. I hope to get back into lifting, as I lifted all throughout high school and a good portion of our time in Florida and found it extremely relaxing (HA) and therapeutic (seriously).
I have flaws, just like you, and occasionally make grammatical errors. Bear with me and don't immediately crucify me.
I'm terribly sorry to keep this so short today, but my wifely duties call. That pork won't cook
itself.

Defining some terms:
*Hoosier- a fellow Indiana native, who knows everything possible about corn and beans, will never separate cold and warm weather clothing merely because the season "changed" and knows how to have a good country time even if they live in a densely populated city.
**SAHM- acronym for stay-at-home-mom. I'm kind of salty when it comes to InstaLingo and will most likely use it on a day to day basis while writing. Brush up, my lovelies.


While I'm mentioning Insta, hop on over to the Instaverse and add me-
