I'm the type of person that remembers dates well. I'm thankful that my husband is the same way, since men are notorious for forgetting dates.

I remember the first day I met my husband, July 25th, 2008. The first time he kissed me was December 17th, 2008. The day we 'officially' became a couple was March 2nd, 2009. We got engaged on March 31st, 2012, and we were married on July 4th, 2013. See? There's a lot of dates!

Each of these days have been celebrated by us in the past, but as we make new anniversaries, some of them fall to the wayside. I guess that's normal. We used to go out to dinner on the anniversary of the day we met in July, but then that was replaced by the day we started dating. The dating anniversary was then replaced by the day we got engaged, and you guessed it, the engagement anniversary was then replaced by our wedding date.

Now, we just recognize the one celebration, our wedding anniversary on July 4th every year. I do like to acknowledge the other dates though. So every time they are coming up, I will ask my husband if he remembers what that particular date means, and he always remembers. He is also in the camp of only celebrating the one anniversary now, our wedding.

So today, marks the third anniversary of the day we got engaged. It's not a day we're going to celebrate, but it's a day we will acknowledge. It's just nice to take a few minutes and reminisce about the day. I was looking through my calendar last night before I realized what today is. It didn't come to me right away, but I looked and said to myself 'Hmm...March 31st...what's going on that day?' I thought maybe it's someone's birthday? Nope. Is there something happening at work? Nope. What could it....oh, then it hit me. I remembered it was what I like to call 'The Day I Thought Would Never Come'. I remember feeling like I was the last girl to get married and when the day came and that question was asked, I felt like I was dreaming. I literally said out loud 'Is this for real? Is it finally my turn?' It was a great moment.

It's nice to sit here and think about it for a few minutes, but we're saving up the big celebration (and money) for our wedding anniversary in July. All of these other dates are still special and worth recognizing, but to celebrate every single milestone in our lives, seems redundant. Do you take time to celebrate every milestone or do you briefly acknowledge the day and move on? Or, do you just forget the 'little' dates all together now?
