Life is filled with milestones we use to take stock of life:

Marking another trip around the sun. Bearing witness to big historical events. Celebrating a special day.

Sept. 26 is the anniversary of the day I said, “I do.”

Sometimes, it’s hard to imagine, but tomorrow marks 27 wonderful years of marriage. There have been plenty of good times, along with a few that were tough, but I’ve relished every day, and even on the lowest days, I’ve still felt so lucky.

So how do you celebrate your twenty-seventh wedding anniversary? I was checking to see what the recommended gift is. All of the lists I found shift to every five years after 10.

Apparently, a milestone that ends in anything other than a five or a zero is more of a mile marker.

Not in my book.
