#365DaysLong



A few months after my wedding, I wrote a blog post in which I shared a little project my brand new husband and I started. We called it 365 Days Long. [Get it??? My married name is Long ;)] Basically, we agreed that we would take a selfie for each day of our marriage so that on our first anniversary we would have a plethora of memories to look back on.

I can happily say we completed this project... to the best of our abilities, that is. Sure, there were definitely days that we forgot. There are not exactly 365 pictures, but overall, this was a fun project that resulted in a picture book containing lots of memories from our first year of marriage.

We enjoyed reminding each other throughout the year that we had to take our selfie and coming up with creatives ways to do so. Now, we have a book full of the exciting trips we took, events we went to, and even everyday moments like watching TV on the couch.


As mentioned in my last post about this, we used an app called Collect to gather the pictures throughout the year. This proved to be suuuuuper helpful. As our first anniversary approached, I didn't have to go through my camera roll to find every picture. They were all right there in the app.

I put the book together using Chatbooks which was crazy easy to do anddd did not break the bank.


I just love the way it all turned out and that we now have a little piece of our first year of marriage to look back on for many many years.



PS. If you use code V6VAJXLU on Chatbooks, you can get your first book free... and I get $1, so that's fun :)

365 Days Long



Before Jeremy and I got married, I had an idea: what if we took one picture each day for our entire first year of marriage? This thought turned into #365DaysLong.

[ Get it??? My new last name is Long ;) ]

From day one of our marriage on May 31st, Jeremy and I have taken a photo of ourselves! Some days this is super easy, like when we're someplace interesting or spend the whole day together. Other days we completely forget and have to make up for it the next day. There have even been a few days that we've been apart. When that happens, we just take selfies and put them together.

To help make this project slightly easier, we've been using an app called Collect. It allows us to write a caption and even sends me a notification reminder each day.



I love that on our first anniversary we'll have a photo memory for everyday during our first year of marriage. Being Jeremy's wife is one of the best things I've ever been given the opportunity to do and I know these are pictures we'll always treasure, laugh at, and love.

Here are some of my favorites so far!!
