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 1780 – Last Night, We Slept Under The Stars

Saturday night, we tried to sleep outside in Bret’s truck with a whole bunch of blankets. Unfortunately, it started raining about an hour after we went out.

Undeterred, we tried again last night! After we were set up in the truck, Bret got my brothers to sing worship songs. What a great memory made!

We even got a great sunset!
