About 365 days of marriage

I started this blog in April of 2011. At the time, Bret and I were wedding photographers and it was a way to share how marriage is more about the day to day and so much more than the wedding day itself. For about 5 years, I blogged about the joys and sorrows of the Christian walk, marriage, work, family and friends. I’ve blogged every day since a few weeks after I started. In May of 2015, we photographed our last wedding. Now, I have become passionate about simplicity, particularly in marriage, Christianity, business, travel and life. For a number of reasons, we have become minimalists. I’ve found that having simplicity makes life so much deeper, refreshing and joyful. I hope that this blog will help others see the benefits of living simply.

Day 2881 – I’m In A Different Time Zone!

Posted on May 31, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

In an unexpected turn of events, my internet was down this morning. I spent the time working on a spreadsheet for Bret’s business. Every so often, using my phone hot spot to update things. It did come back on (yay!) but I feel like I’m about 6 hours behind schedule. So we’re pretending I’m in Hawaii, because it’s 9:33 a.m. there now! Woo!

For fun, here’s a photo of me actually in Hawaii almost 20 years ago!

Day 2880 – Coming VERY Soon!!!

Posted on May 30, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

I cannot believe I’m writing this, but my second book is coming very soon!!! I had originally hoped to have it published on my birthday (6/18), but it’s so much closer to being complete, that I think I’m going to bump that up to the last day of school (6/13)! That’s only two weeks from today! Stay tuned for more information about the book and a contest to win a $100 gas gift card!

And to my friends who have always wanted to write a book, just get started! The second one is much easier than the first! Ha ha, and I’m just a little addicted now. 😀

Day 2879 – I Need A Weekend To Recover From The Weekend!

Posted on May 29, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

Whew, what a draining weekend! It’s been a blur of trying to rest, working on businesses (super big news, I might be releasing my next book early! Eeep! Maybe even as early as two weeks from now), and just feeling like crapola. If there’s one side effect from having mono years ago, it’s that if my body is sick or not doing well to any degree, it won’t let me do more than I physical can do. It’s like mono gave my body an off switch. The brain and body are wonderful things, and I can’t wait until I’m operating at 100% again! I think that hardest part of not feeling well is knowing you’ve been capable of doing what you want to do, but you just can’t.

Ok! Enough complaining, here’s a photo of me feeling 100%!

Day 2877 – How I Hoped To Spend The Weekend Vs. How I Will Probably Spend The Weekend

Posted on May 27, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

Since Bret and I are each building businesses right now (Bret real estate investing, me a business around my road trip book), we’re constantly working. Weekends aren’t days off but days to work longer hours. We did squeeze in a mini picnic last night on our living room floor with CFA nuggets, but beyond that, it’s work work work. But we were thrown a wrench when Bret got sick….and I may be coming down with something as well. So here’s how I thought I’d be spending the weekend….
