Today is kind of a special day. Nothing too exciting. Not the kind to be overly celebrated. No exchanges of gifts will be made. No special dinner plans for this evening. But nonetheless, it’s a day each year the I will hold near and dear to my heart. It’s the day I’ll think back to that giddy 19-year-old version of myself and just smile. I’ll remember how much I’ve grown and how much I’ve learned. More importantly, I’ll remember how much WE’VE grown and learned. Because on November 14, 2006 JP and I were officially a couple. Now that we celebrate our wedding anniversary we don’t do much for this day, but it is a great time to remember and reflect on how we’ve grown and how lucky we are.

On this day in 2008, JP got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I was only 21. Some may say this is too young, but I don’t care. Five years later I can still say that of all the life changing decisions I’ve made, this one was by far the best.

Here’s to 84 {7 years * 12 months each year}14’s and many, many, many more to come.
Do you have any special dates that you can’t help but reflect on?
I truly believe that the more days you have to celebrate, the happier your life will be. So here’s to the mini celebrations in life that make each day something special.
