When Mr. Violet and I first started dating, we celebrated each monthly anniversary for at least a year or two. I used to write him a card every month. If I continued to give him a card every month, he’d have 95 cards by now.

The celebrations dwindled with time, but we still acknowledge our monthly anniversaries. I don’t really think that we got lazy - I think it just got too repetitive, and now that we’re living together, it doesn’t really matter as much. No need to wait to celebrate because we can go out whenever we want if we feel like it. Plus, it can be expensive.

I normally wouldn’t even point out that it’s our anniversary (except each other), but today is November 13th which means we are just one month away from our big 8! 8 whole years… crazy right?

I remember feeling pretty blah during our 7th anniversary. Mr. Violet can be very discrete when he wants to be, so I had no idea that he was planning a proposal. I was starting to fret that it was never going to happen. Well, I guess I got the biggest surprise of the year - engaged in Paris, what a perfect proposal! And this time next year, I’ll be married.
