2,102,400 minutes

April 18, 2009 — the day I married the love of my life.

… and today, we celebrate 4 years — 48 months — 1,460 days — 35,040 hours — 2,102,400 minutes of marriage, of walking the journey and doing this life together. Since our anniversary fell on a Thursday and since my husband is completely slammed with grad school and teaching, we decided to keep our day-of celebration simple and sweet — and what better way to do that than by returning to the site where it all happened. So we grabbed a quilt, some coffee and of course my camera and headed off to Olivet Methodist Church in Centerton, NJ for a quick little dusk picnic, albeit minus the food part. It was never about the place, as beautiful as it is under the gorgeous pink canopy of trees — but the place is a symbol for us of God’s faithfulness, love, grace and provision in our lives. So we go back to remember, to reflect, to sit in gratitude, to hold captive, to pause and just be, with each other…if even just for a few, still moments in time.
