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 2138 – My New Office

One of the biggest benefits of being my own boss is the ability to choose my office. I love my new office space in our new home! I’ve sat out here a few times and I’ve been employing the “timed work” method. I’ll tell Siri to set an alarm for 30 minutes and I’ll work for a client. I’ve found that I want to work longer when I do this! Then I’ll tell Siri to set an alarm for 10 minutes and read some fiction. Next, Siri will set an alarm for 20 minutes and I’ll read through some non-fiction. I enjoy working like this, because if I start to get tired with a task, I can say to myself, well, you only have XYZ left. I’m all about variety, so this works for me.

Do you have any weird work habits?

Day 2137 – This Should Be A Requirement Before You Get Married

You may have seen this video already, but I think it’s worth another share. Basically, this couple is getting married in a month and they put on makeup to see how they would look as they aged. It was truly heartwarming. But it also got me thinking…this should be a requirement before you get married. To see what you’re “signing up for.” Having it recorded is great too! So when times get tough (and oh baby they will), you can remember how you felt and what you said in response to your older counterpart.

What do you think about this?

Day 2136 – Finally Seeing Thrice

I told you back in February about something we’ve been wanting to do for a while, see Thrice in concert. Well, this weekend we finally did, and it was AWESOME!

The festival took place in Asbury Park, NJ, just off the beach. So, we took silly beach selfies – obviously.

Then we caught the beginning of a wedding….

And then rocked out to Thrice! It was an awesome show! They played a lot of our favorite songs and we sang along quite a bit. Can’t wait to see them again! (well, hopefully!)
