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 1415 – My WORST Wedding Nightmare

I arrive at the church and start to get ready.

As I’m getting set up, I see another photographer and it’s not my husband.

They look like another pro.

Well, that’s disheartening! I figured the bride would let me know about that!

The ceremony starts with NO warning! All of a sudden, the bridesmaids are walking down the aisle….very fast no less!

None of my cameras are working. I keep changing my lenses. Nothing.

The ceremony ends and I’m trying to take a picture of a couple. Nothing.

The bride then throws her garter. I missed it.

I was so disappointed in myself.

Thankfully, this was right about the point where I woke up. 😉

Whew, sorry I fooled ya there! But it was such a crazy dream, I couldn’t help but share! See how much I love and care about my job? I think about it in my sleep!

Here’s a shot from our wedding ceremony site….and a wedding where things went pretty smooth….and all five of my photographer’s cameras worked.

Day 1414 – My Kind Of Networking And Brainstorming

Today Bret and I went on a hike with one of our dear friends, Mara, who also owns her own business, http://www.maraglazer.com.

What is thebizzybuzz.com you ask?

“thebizzybuzz.com is an e-mail publishing company known for sharing the latest buzz, tools, tips, and finds with an active community of bizzy women entrepreneurs daily… in 350 words or less.”

I’ve gained lots of knowledge from Mara through her online business and our interactions as friends. I am blessed to have such a smart business woman as a friend. 🙂

Here we are being all kinds of serious….
