It was 11 years ago today that I married my college sweetheart. We were SO young (both still 21!). Goodness gracious did we both have a lot of growing up left to do.
But we made the commitment to grow together. And that is exactly what we have done over the past decade (plus 1 year!). Marriage is VERY hard work, to be sure, but if both parties are commited to its success, the work you put in can also have the biggest payoffs.
My marriage to Tim is without a doubt one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. So May 9th is a very special day for me, indeed. I am loving being able to wear that date not only in my heart, but also on my sleeve (so to speak). NotJustAnyOldDay.com recently sent me this FABULOUS piece of jewelry to commemorate the most life-changing day of my life.
May 9th was the day that I committed my life to my best friend. It was the day that my two little girls became the twinkle in my eyes. And it was the day that love won over everything else. What a day!!!
I bet you have a special day like that in your life. Perhaps it is a wedding anniversary. Or it could be a special birthday. Maybe it is just a day when life as you know it changed for you whether you were expecting it to or not (such as the day you were told cancer was in remission, or the day you earned your high school or college degree). Whatever the reason, you most certainly have at least one day of the year that isn’t just any old day. It is sacred.
Check out what NotJustAnyOldDay.com has to offer to help commemorate those dates on the calendar. My calendar key necklace is such a treasure to me. And bonus: it is REALLY cute! I love how long it is; so stylish right now! The necklace I own is available for $65.00 and can be made for any date of the year. You can also choose the color of the crystal that is placed on your special day.
Please tell me about your special day that you’d love to wear close to your heart! What would you be commemorating?

Happy Anniversary! Marriage is a lot of work. I got married when I was young too. I don’t think I realized how much work it was but it worth it all.
It is worth it, but it is definitely a lot of work! I understand much better now why so many marriages don’t make it.
cute! love it! Happy anniversary!
Thank you! And didn’t you just have a birthday??? Happy belated birthday!
I am so happy for you and your hubby, Tim, me and my hubby have been married 47 years and are still in love. Yes you are right you have to work together to stay married, much too easy now days for someone to just hold up their hands and give up. Keep on going. I also enjoy your blogs..
Way to go! It is so inspiring to hear from couples who have really gone the distance! 🙂 Thank you so much for being a reader, too!
