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?
