Keep Celebrating

Keep Celebrating your Marriage - Photos by Ashlee Kay Photography

Bruce and I just celebrated our fourth year of marriage and are already are trekking on into year five. We did something new this year, something spontaneous & fun, and something I never want to not do again – we took pictures together.

I run a lifestyle blog and carry a camera on me nearly all the time but the truth is that Bruce and I don’t have tons of pictures of us together. Either one of us is usually behind the camera and, without any real effort either way, we’ve just not collected too many photos of us.

Wedding pictures are important & worth every penny but so often we stop there. We stop at the extravagance of the wedding, the party, the cocktails, the dress, the photos. We celebrated marriage in the biggest party before our marriage even began.

But don’t stop there (and I don’t want to either!) Pictures of Bruce and I on our wedding day will always be something I cherish (and one day my children will look back and make fun of 😉 ) but I want more than that. I don’t live my life in a big white dress and we don’t have all our friends following us around in matching outfits all the time (even though that might be kinda fun! 😉 ) Each year we age. Each year we walk through different challenges, stories, adventures, and seasons. We change. We grow.

I want to take pictures every year not just for great Christmas card photos (but that is a good reason 😉 ) but also to keep celebrating! Each year of marriage is a gift and something we’ve accomplished together. We’ve aged, changed, and I never want to forget those little moments too. The smile lines, the styles, the year.

So keep celebrating! You’re marriage is worth it.

You guys know how much I love photo projects and h You guys know how much I love photo projects and how I love filling our home with my favorite photos so you should not be surprised by this post 😜 I love @ArtifactUprising and I've done several photo projects with them over the years, so when I saw this calendar I thought it would be a perfect addition for the new year to bring joy to 2021! 🥂 It is the prettiest photo calendar that I ever did see! Just hung this baby up in our dinning room and I have to say, this room is about complete. Like complete complete! It even has baseboards! Maybe we will even get baseboards up in all the rooms this year 😂 More on that later, but if you are in love with this calendar as much as I am, use code OAKS15 to save 15% on your order at #ArtifactUprising! 🙌🏼

Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Insta Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Instagram lately. A couple months ago I deleted Instagram from my phone for a little break. And I keep doing it because it is so nice. Sometimes I delete the app but still have photos post because they are scheduled and now you know my little secret 😉 ⁠
⁠
But really, I just took another break and while I am committed to this place because it holds so many of my memories, I'm not like super addicted to it (which is really a healthy place to be!) HAHA. ⁠
⁠
I'm realizing I don't have unlimited time to post and share all the things I want to and so when I do have time, I want to spend more time of it creating blog posts and less time scrolling IG. It's not you, it's me! HAHA. If you want to to keep hearing from me, make sure you are subscribed to our emails!! Link in bio and also stories!
It's been too long since we had a #HildeintheAir p It's been too long since we had a #HildeintheAir pic. You're welcome!
