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 1747 – Happy THREE Year Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Curran – AND – To Our Ring Shot Tradition

Whooooo hoo!!!!! Today is a special anniversary to me! It’s three years for the Currans and I’m so happy for them!

BUT! It’s also the three year anniversary of the ring shot! You can learn more about that in the about section (and don’t forget to #ShowMeYourRings!) It is truly humbling that this little blog has become what it is today and I’m excited to see where it will go in the future! Thank you to everyone who has supported me through the blog by following/sharing/reading and to all of the brides and grooms who have let us capture your wedding day. Truly, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Have a great day Pat and Stacy!

Day 1746 – Reading A Book To Death – or – Need A New Devotional?

One thing I’ve had on the back burner for a while is my book. It’s a huge task to write a book, sure, so I took any excuse to stop. I’ve been noticing recently that God has been nudging me to start it back up again. I think part of my hesitation was, well, I can’t write a book until I reach “SOME UNATTAINABLE GOAL THAT DOESN’T MATTER.” But then I realized the whole point of my book is that Christian business owners define success differently. So, I’m trying to follow His leading and get back on the horse.

To that end, I’m going through my most recent journal and I noted in one entry that a whole day was good in Streams in the Desert. So I grabbed one of my copies and thought about how many times I’ve read through it. And I noticed how pages were falling out, coffee stains were all over….BOTH of my copies! So take that as a big book review! If you’re looking for a new daily devotional, this one is fantastic! πŸ™‚

Day 1744 – Happy Easter!!!

We started the day attending the sunrise service at Beachmont Christian Camp. One of my sister’s friends brought their Australian Cattle Dog puppy. Which we tried to steal. (Note: If we ever get a dog, this is the type of dog we’d get!)

After unsuccessfully stealing the puppy, we went to breakfast with some friends and our cousins!!
