A little about me and my life.

Hi, so I'm new at this whole blog thing, but I'm also new at this whole wife thing, and the Navy wife thing, I'm so excited to be able to share my story and the adventures of my new life.. so I'll start with a little about my life....

My name is Brienne Mahaffey, I just turned 21 years old and am currently going to school online, I'm not sure what I would like to be but mostly it will be something to do with animals. I am hoping to one day to own my own animal rescue. I am a very happy person but I owe most of that to my husband who made me the person I am today. I am very big on family I'm very close to my family and my husbands family. I have two sisters who I know will have my back no matter what I decide to do. I also have a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law who are two of the most amazing people I have ever met. I have been married for six months this month to the sweetest honest most hilarious person I have ever met, and might I add very sexy ;) We have two dogs, a four year old Pit Bull named Harley, and a three year old Rhodesian Ridgeback/ Cretan Hound mix named Bella. My dogs are my babies and I would do anything for them.  That's me in a nut shell :)

Ok so the reason I wanted to start this blog was to share my life, not only as a Navy wife but as a Wife in general. I wanna be able to encourage the young women out there to fallow their hearts and do what makes them happy.

Me and my husbands story is not the most traditional one that there is, we are not high school sweethearts nor have we been best friends since we were little. We started dating March 17, 2011 and we got married July 28,2012. We met online through a dating website and as soon as we started talking I knew there was something different about him. We talked and texted and got to know each other. I learned he was from Ga same as me but was in the Navy and stationed in Va. When he came home to visit his family I finally got to meet him. I swear I knew he was the one the moment I saw him. This is the first picture we ever took as a couple...

We have had our ups and downs with him being 8 hours away while we were dating but we had a system. He would come down as much as he could and I would go up when I could get time off. It made it a little easier. Earlier this year he got deployed to Afghanistan, it has been hard but I'm not going to complain because I get to talk to him everyday unlike most people who are going through deployment. This past July we got married, this was on his r&r and that means that he had to go back. We have been married six months this month but have only been together as a married couple for 5 of those days. Saying good bye to him when he had to go back was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. School and our families are the only things that have helped get me through this time. I am getting him back soon and am excited to start my journey as his wife. I cant wait to share all of the experiences with you from his homecoming to our big move to Va in a few months.
