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 808 – A Wonderful Accomplishment

Today I did something I have never really done. I went for a run. On my own….

You may not think this is a huge deal…but I have had such a struggle with running. I have a problem with pride and it’s hard for me to do something and not be the absolute best right away. Running falls into that category! I have been running with my dear friend Kristi but I haven’t just gone out and ran…on my own….

Today, I did. 🙂 I took this screen shot from my RunKeeper activity:

Day 807 – Glyndon Maryland Wedding Photographers – Dawson Wedding

The Dawson Wedding is online now! We had a BLAST shooting this wedding!

It was my first wedding as a full time photographer and it was a little surreal driving home afterwards. I GET to do this ALL the time! This is my job! If you can even call it that!

This was my favorite quote from the conference I went to in Vegas:
“Are you going to work?”
“No, I’m going to make someone’s dream come true.”
Larry Williams

I truly feel this way about shooting weddings and everything leading up to and after the wedding. I LOVE THIS! I still cry when I look at weddings I shot years ago. I’m still friends with couples from years ago! I really can’t put into words how much I LOVE it!

So, here’s one of my favs…

Day 806 – Towson Sheraton Bridal Show

Today we had a booth at the Towson Sheraton Bridal Show. It was a lot of fun and we met some really awesome brides!

We were also right next to Lovely Day Photo Works. We met them at the Astarita Wedding and they’re a blast to work with!

They’ll be having another bridal show February 19, 2012. I’m pretty sure we’ll be there!
