Tiyumba et Katrin

Some people say the first year of marriage is the hardest. We're not out to prove them wrong, just to enjoy the ride.

The Challenge

| We're issuing a public 365-day challenge. To ourselves. Despite the summer tilt-a-whirl of getting married, living together, moving across two states, starting graduate school, starting a new job, and adjusting to a new community, we're urging ourselves and each other to find and post the joy in every day. Life is too short not to.

| As of 5.27.2012 this is the partner we've chosen. To live with them in the ups and the downs. To love them in this crazy world. To learn to appreciate them despite our conflicts. Marriage isn't perfect, and neither are we. But we can still find time to smile. Every single day.

| Yes we get annoyed. We are human. Yes I should've turned off the light. Yes I should've flushed the toilet. Yes I should've made the bed. However large or small the scrap, we're fighting to find the love in our lives and not go to sleep with anger in our hearts. We are Katrin and Tiyumba.

| Ask us anything. Maybe you'll get an answer.
