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 663 – Dinner with the Family = Almost Forgetting My Rings…Again

I took this while eating dinner with my family. We were celebrating my mom’s birthday. I was telling them about this blog….took the picture….kept eating….about 5-10 minutes later…I realized…again…I left the rings on the flower. Hopefully I can get out of the habit of doing this! πŸ™‚

Day 659 – Guest at a Padonia Park Club Wedding

Today we attended the wedding of one of my co-workers at Padonia Park Club. It was GREAT being guests! Eating appetizers while they were hot! Drinking beer!! Dancing! Bret and I love to dance. Shout out to the amazing DJ skills of Frank of Friendly Entertainment. I have worked with him before at the Russell Wedding. DJs are one thing that are such a hit or miss. It’s hard to see what they’re really like without going to a wedding they’ve worked. Honestly, I hadn’t run into too many good DJs until I met Frank. I think he was the first DJ I took a card for at a wedding. Since then I have worked with some other great ones (they do exist!) which is good news for all. I highly recommend Frank! He certainly got Bret and I (and probably 40% of the crowd(!) up on the dance floor).

I actually left the camera home for this one! It was a bittersweet thing. I kept seeing things I wanted to take a picture of…but it was also nice not worrying where my camera was and carrying it around. Since we left the camera at home, we didn’t get a picture of us all done up! But, here are our dancing shoes. πŸ™‚
