Today marks 19 years of marriage for me and my wonderful hubby! We'll celebrate by....doing nothing special. We don't usually exchange gifts or cards, and I have to work and go to class today, so it's really just business as usual. I know a lot of people go to a fancy dinner or trip to celebrate anniversaries, but we just don't do it. Some of my friends think that's odd, but I think some of the things they do are odd also, so it doesn't bother me in the least.
What about all my SA friends? Do you celebrate lean? or extreme? or somewhere in between?
Happy anniversary to us!

We celebrate lean, too! We usually exchange cards at a minimum. If we get a chance to go out...it is a free movie and an inexpensive dinner.

We will be married 19 years in April. I was 23! I really think we'll try to do something for the 20th, like take a trip (with the kids, since they are a huge part of what our lives have become). But normally, we don't have a big celebration. Heck of the 18 anniversaries we've had so far, I was pregnant or nursing an infant for 8 of them. I always consider it a really special day, though.

We like to make a fuss, even if it can't be expensive. This year we had to tone it down, so we sort of bought gifts (practical things), got carryout food, and drank a bottle of wine. It's the everyday behavior that's more important than the once-a-year gesture, I think.
