19. It's my wife's and my wedding anniversary.

Sat Dec 21, 2013, 01:04 PM

Dec 2013

We planned the wedding for the Winter Solstice and got married 22 years ago, today.

It's an easy date to remember, and her birthday is the same day, but in another month. For old farts like me, making things easy to remember is always a plus.
