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 2621 – What I’m Reading Right Now

It’s surprising, even to me, to only have 3 books in my currently reading list. Even my “from the library” shelves are a little barren. The weekends are good for going through what I’ve got and narrowing things down. Honestly, it was a light reading weekend for me. I tore through the Lunar Chronicles so fast. Seriously dudes, I read ALL of the books (minus Stars Above, which is supplemental stories) in a week. Winter was over 800 pages too. Oy. Hard to hop back into reading after that!

Day 2617 – FIVE Years As A Freelancer…..What??

I cannot believe it has been five years since I’ve worked a “normal” job. What a ride it’s been!

In the last five years, I’ve done the following:
– I photographed 25 weddings
– I closed my photography business
– I started working for two AMAZING photographers
– We moved 3 times
– We drove across the country four times
– Almost finished a book

Thank you all for following along on this journey! Here’s to the next 5 years!

This was taken the day after I left my 9-5 job!
