A little Introduction

Hello everyone. My name is Brandi. I decided to start this blog as a way to document my transition into becoming a housewife. 2011 was the year I became a wife. My husband and I got married in March while we were visiting family in San Diego, CA and found out we were expecting a month later. We had previously drove 3,000 miles across the country in my little 1999 Ford Escort to "start a new life", basically we sat around on a military base and didn't do much. It was the first time I had ever been unemployed and just loafed around doing nothing. It was nice for the first two weeks, but after a few months it really gets to you mentally. When we found out we were pregnant we knew it was time to come back to Huntington, WV and start being adults. When we first got back we stayed in this little one bedroom house that used to belong to my great grandmother in a small town called Poca. That was a big adjustment after just living in San Diego for a few months. When I finally got my job in Huntington, my husband quit his local gas station job and we finally got back to where we wanted to be. We started off staying in a spare bedroom at our friends apartment for a month. After that, we ended up sleeping on a couch at another friends' place. Finally after a couple of weeks of that, we ended up living in this motel on the west end. All I wanted was a place of my own. I was five months pregnant and going crazy. Finally at the end of August, we finally found an apartment that was affordable, and more importantly, available. Here we are, 4 months later and 2 weeks away from my due date, and I am sitting on my very own pink sectional couch that I got from the restore. I didn't think we would ever get to this point. Now that I have, I hope to be able to document becoming a housewife and mother for the first time and share with you any ideas that come along the way.
