Day 6 {In sickness...}

James & I explored the whole "in sickness and in health" thing rather early in this marriage. A nasty little virus made its way around at my wedding and today it made its way to me. I spent all day in bed. James canceled class to take care of me (and mostly the kids).

Day 5 {working hard (trying to!)}

Mr. G works part-time from home doing a tutoring gig. Now that the wifey plus three are in the picture it isn't quite as easy to find a moment alone to do it. He retreats to the bedroom but occasionally a small child winds up being underfoot.

Day 4 {Lemons For Life}

We had a strawberry-lemonaide themed wedding. There were lemons everywhere. I still ended up with 40 lemons leftover...but not because I overshot the number. Because we ran out of time at the end and couldn't do a few of my projects. Not willing to waste $20 worth of lemons, I'm finding uses for them. Including this vase of lemons I cut today to sit on the mantle.

Day 3 {Love In Bloom}

James sent me a dozen roses on our wedding day. Today they are in full bloom and I decided to catch a photo of them...the light in our apartment is just amazing!

Day 2 {Telling The World}

Today Nathan had to return to Ohio because he has school on Monday. There was still a TON of work to be done as far as cleaning up after the wedding went. So, James stayed behind and loaded the U-Haul with the rental equipment. My best friend (and Matron of Honor) Amber and I made the 4 hour trip to drop off Nathan. We got a lot of odd looks at the "Just Married" chalked on the window. I love Amber, but not like that. ;)

Day 1 {Change At My Door}

Today was my wedding day. You would think I would post a photo of me in my wedding dress or something of that nature...but truth be told I didn't take photos today. I have a few photos from getting ready but as soon as my professional photog arrived, I put down my camera. Early in the morning on the day of the wedding, however, we were setting up for the reception. I opened up the door of my apartment to find this butterfly on my doorstep.

The Plan

Project 365 has almost become a curse term in my house.

189 days.

I made it 189 whole days last time! From January 1st till the middle of July I faithfully completed my P365, taking a different shot every day and posting it(even if I got a bit behind in posting). The layouts were a different story. I only got 15 weeks of layouts done before I gave up.

The funny thing was, it was the wedding that threw me askew. Once I started planning, I realized that a lot of my photos for each day were wedding details that I didn't want everyone seeing! One day, I went dress shopping. I came away with photos of my dress, which I didn't want to share. That was when I chose to put P365 on the shelf.

I assumed I would revisit Project 365 next January, and then I realized that I could start right now! After taking a few months off, I'm starting fresh and calling this one Project 365: Newlywed Edition. Every day for the first year of our marriage, I'm going to snap a photo and post it here. I'm going to ask my family and friends to help keep me accountable if I get lazy! I already have a few to share that I've been snapping every day. I couldn't post them until I got the blog up and running.

Somewhere in the midst of all of this I'll share photos and a story from our wedding, but not 'till I have my pictures from the photographer. My wonderful photographer, Barb Hogan, will have them edited and ready for me in a few weeks.

For now, though, let's get started :)
