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 1104 – An Amazing Marriage

I have been waiting to post about this since Sunday!

Ok…my church has been having testimonies every Sunday before the message…this Sunday was from a couple I have long admired. I was moved to tears more than once. I will not be able to even give a glimmer of the awesomeness that was shared, so take a peek!

But first, here’s a picture of Mark and Carol Turek…

And Jimmy wanted a picture too.

Enjoy a beautiful example of marriage.

Day 1103 – Bret’s Musings Have Been Replaced by a Crab Cake Recipe

Today is normally “Bret’s Musings” day…but my dear husband is working out of town…and since I’m sure you don’t want to hear about how much I miss him, I thought I would share a recipe I tried out for crab cakes!!

The recipe I used.
Note: I pretty much doubled the crab meat. 🙂

After:

The cakes were falling apart a little…so I’ll have to try adding more breading or something….but it tasted AWESOME!!
