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 2806 – One Of My Favorite St. Patrick’s Day Memories!

Top of the mornin’ to ya!

Oh Facebook On This Day, thank you for reminding me of things that happened 8 years ago! On this day 8 years ago, Bret was making his cross country trek in his truck to move to Maryland, and we were less than 4 months from our wedding day. Bret just happened to pass through Shamrock, Texas on St. Patrick’s Day! When we took our first cross country trip together, Shamrock was our first hotel stay! I’m so glad I have a spouse who loves cross country travel as much as me. 🙂

Day 2804 – The Aftermath Of A Snow Day

Oh man, yesterday was a great day! Unfortunately, the plows and sidewalk crews started around 3:30 a.m., so we woke up around 3:45 a.m. I lucked out and got a nap in from about 8-11. The downside of being stuck inside all day….after making a Oreo cheesecake? Well, that would be eating the whole thing. Yes friends, Bret and I ate an entire cheesecake, in one sitting. And today we feel awful. Oy, way too much sugar.

I was able to crank out another section of the road trip book today. Dudes, I’m so excited to share this with you! Stay tuned for sneak peeks over the next few weeks and months.

What about you, did you have a snow day yesterday? Did you spend it well or poorly, like us? Let us know in the comments below!

I wasn’t putting two and two together, but I bought ingredients for a “pie” for pi day!

Crazy weather out there!

Day 2802 – Road Trips, New Books, And Snowstorms

I just finished my morning writing session on my next book. I’m taking a different approach on this book in that I am planning a whole business to go with it. From a Facebook group, to a newsletter, and who knows what other products. Writing about and helping others follow their dreams (travel or otherwise) is definitely my life passion. I get SO excited giving advice about road trips. I get SO jazzed encouraging others to follow their dreams. I love to get people past the “I could never” to “I did this.” Give me a question about travel or someone taking a trip looking for advice and I will spend my whole morning typing things out. I can’t wait to share my road trip book with y’all! Make sure you’re subscribed to this blog to know when it’s finished!

I am also SO excited about this upcoming snowstorm! We’ve already purchased junk food for our *fingers crossed* day off tomorrow. I was a little disappointed that we weren’t going to get a snow day this year, but hopefully I won’t have to be! I’m planning to work a ton today so tomorrow will be filled with reading, hanging out with Bret, and playing in the snow.

What’s on your snow day agenda? Let me know in the comments below!
