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 1198 – What A Day!

So, you know I shot a wedding yesterday. It was a ten hour shooting day. Then another 4-5 hours of downloading after we arrived home. Long, tiring, AWESOME day. Yesterday’s awesomeness made it very hard to get out of bed this morning. So much so that I arrived at the Susan G. Komen run about 25 minutes before race time! I was already freaking out because it wasn’t until I was about to leave that I realized that my number and chip were back at the apartment. So I REALLY needed to meet up with my group so I could run with someone who had a number to get a good read on my time! So I FINALLY find a parking spot at 7:45. I RAN down to meet my group, hitting my head on a tree branch AND almost running into another group that I knew. I just kept praying that I would find someone in my group! Thankfully, I found my friend Marcy as she was walking to the start. Whew! Funny part? She didn’t have her number either! Even funnier? I finished with my fasted 5k time ever….about 35 minutes…and it wasn’t recorded. Ah well. πŸ™‚

I didn’t have my camera this year, so here’s a shot from last year…

I want to also add that my dear, sweet siblings took it upon themselves to run, with their Team Martha shirts on, 3.1 miles in Lake Placid. What an awesome thing to do. I found this out RIGHT before the race, which made me cry. πŸ™‚

Oh, I did get a shot of this year’s shirt!
