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 1791 – If I Can’t Travel The World Now…

You know that I have a BIG obsession with collecting pens (see here, here, here, here, here and here). Oh and don’t forget this one. These were from my brother, Josh when we went to New Zealand and Australia for work.

Last night, my dear brother got back from another trip! He went to Paris! Whenever a friend or family member travels, I ask them for some pens. I feel like it’s an easy request…pens are free at hotels…or pretty darn cheap in gift shops.

Well friends, Josh is now the current winner with the best pens.

The bottom pen is a fake tube of paint. I am undone. Thanks Josh!

Day 1789 – Outdoor Reading

I’ve been doing a lot of running around the past few days as well as a lot of computer work. I’ve been going a little stir crazy every time I sit down in front of the computer, so today I’m taking a break from the indoors and the computer screen and reading outside!

One of the things I like to do is read a chapter in each book I’m currently working on, including some fiction. This way, it’s almost a “treat/break” when I get to the fiction. Though, I absolutely LOVE non-fiction business book too….so the whole time is a “treat/break.” 🙂

I picked up a book I had on hold at the library today and did some wandering to find some more books. I am OVER THE MOON about my find! Even though it’s the second in the series and I’ll have to wait to get the first one to read it, I’m so stoked!

Marvel Zombies! AH! Two of my geek loves! There’s like 8 different graphic novels at the library in this series. One of which is A Zombie Christmas Carol. I cannot believe I didn’t know this existed!
