A brief introduction on me and my family. I am Briana and I have been married to my husband Jason for 13 years. I always feel the need to tag on that we have actually been together for 15 years. (like I need the extra credit that those two years offer) We have three beautiful boys. Our oldest Devyn is 13, Brayden is 4, and the baby Jackson is 3. Is anyone noticing the age difference?! Yes, our oldest child is 9 years older than his next brother and then the little brothers are only 14 months apart. Lets just say the last 4 years have been interesting. Devyn is my sweet beautiful boy with an old soul. He is too smart for me and the kindest person I have ever known. He likes jokes, comedians and picking on his mama. Devyn was born with Spina Bifida and much of our life has been about his care and learning what his life will be like. (there will be more on this soon) Brayden is our drama child, that likes to create stories and act them out. He was such a challenge as a baby, but has become a complete joy in our family. His view of the world is so unique. Jackson is a superhero. He is obsessed with all things superhero and we are positive that he will never outgrow this. When he has nothing left to say, he will still utter the word Spider-man. As if that says it all.
My husband is in the process of starting over in a new career. He has been going to school, and still has about 2 years to go. I am excited, thrilled, proud and very jealous of him. I mean, who doesn't want the chance to start over?! Jas was a Form Carpenter for almost 13 years, and is now going to school for Physical Therapy. He loved his job. He loved hanging off of 20 story buildings and hammering things, and using powerful tools, and directing tower cranes, and driving fork lifts, and....all of it. He loved his job, but the economy had other ideas. When the country started to struggle our livelihood was directly affected. We may not have been the people buying a condo on the beach, but we were the ones that were living a good life because that condo had to be built. So, Jason had to take a good look at what he wanted to be when he grew up. He had to find a new dream.
I am patiently waiting my chance to start my dream. Sigh. I am good at my job, but it is not my dream job. It's putting food on the table and close on my babies. I am thankful that this opportunity was given to me, but definitely looking forward to the day I can start something new. I am a Suzie Homemaker-wannabe. I love to cook, love to bake, and wish that I had a talent for craftiness. My story is that I come up with the ideas and then enlist my Mom to help make them happen.
Jesus Christ is the center of my world. I have learned that even when I didn't know Him, He loved me and provided for me. The last 13 years have been a testament to what Jesus is willing to do for His children. I would not be who I am...I would not be married...I would not have 3 amazing boys...My husband would not be alive...if I didn't have a constant, loving relationship with my Savior. I hope to show you through my life and my story that He is everything. I hope to encourage you. I pray that you will see Christ through me.
I have more to tell, but this has gone long enough. I leave you with a picture of my babies and a request that you take this journey through life with me. I look forward to sharing my story and hope to learn a little more along the way.
Much Love,
Bri
