All About Bri

Hi my name is Briana Medley and most of those close to me call me Bri. I am a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I have always dreamed of one day writing and speaking about my take on life and this blog is just the beginning. Join me as I am on this journey to figure out how to balance all of life’s responsibilities.  My goal is to help empower people through transparency in sharing the lessons that I have learned throughout my life. The Medley of Them All was birthed because I do think that life is that blending and balancing act that produces a unique Medley that is our life. I think that you can BE whatever you desire to be all it takes is focus, love, and asking for help when you need it. One of my favorite scriptures is that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13. If you like what you see leave a comment. If you want me to expand on something let me know and I can write another post addressing it. I can’t wait to share with you all!

#BlackLivesMatter

My heart is so heavy as I write this post. The recent events are a glaring reminder that my safety or the safety of my family and friends is constantly at risk. My life as a black woman does not matter. This is something that is always in the back of my mind, but every time something happens its just another reminder. I don't want to just become another hashtag! To the All Lives Matter People. Here are some things that I want you to think about. Have you ever feared for your life when you got pulled over for a minor traffic infraction? I have! I remember one night I was driving my new car around town and I was going a few miles over the speed limit the officers first question was is this your car? As I got the ticket I remember shaking uncontrollably because I was so scared they even called for backup! So there were multiple police surrounding me for a $125 speeding ticket! Have you ever gone to the hospital and been concerned about the care that you were getting? I have! M...

Date Night on a Dime

     Yes we are saving money, and in the last post I gave you our huge debt payoff goals for 2018, but one thing that is really important to us is putting aside time and money for dates!          Just to give you all an idea of our weekly budget for dates while we are paying off debt; we put in a line item of $80 per week to spend for our entertainment. Most weeks we don't even use half of this money, but it is there for us to enjoy one another during this journey to being debt free. Here are some ways that we are stretching our weekly date night dollars. 1. If people ever ask you all what you want for a gift ask for restaurant gift cards! We have gone on so many dates with these gift cards. We got several as wedding presents that came in handy during our first year of marriage. We also got a few as Christmas and birthday presents. We use these throughout the year for those nights that we don't want to cook, or we just want to connect with one...

Ten Love Lessons From Our First Year of Marriage

Image
As we are on the cusp of being married for one full year. I must say that we learned a few things about what it takes to make this marriage thing work forever. I am thankful that during our time of dating that we were able to read a few books together about relationships. I am also thankful that during my time of being single that I did a lot of reading up on marriage because those books really helped when it came time to actually execute what we learned from those hours invested in  reading up on marriage. The lessons below are a summation of what we have collectively learned in love. Through it all our relationship has grown more than we expected. We have been tested throughout this year in every way possible and the amazing thing is that it is really only the beginning of our journey together! The Love Lessons are as follows in no particular order:   Shut Up and Pray- I don’t know how many times we have both had to do that this year. I know that I’m a trip and ‘I...
