A-Typical Anniversary

I have no idea what your typical anniversary looks like. This year, ours fell on a Wednesday. we hit 21 years. And the day felt much like any other day. We both ended up working a few hours. Wrangling kids. Running an errand here or there. And ended with Bible class (him teaching one class and me in another). 
Is it an a-typical anniversary? Or is it a typical one? (See what I did there?)

Before you feel too sad for us, no worries. We exchanged cards and kisses. He got me a new butterfly bush to replace mine that didn't survive the winter. And I made sure we had really good steaks for dinner even though we didn't go out.
And on Friday, we will go out just the two of us, though our date night may look more like a bunch of errands. It will be kid-less and that's what counts!
While we could have had a much bigger to-do for the day commemorating our wedding twenty-one years ago, we didn't need it. Last year, we took a few days and slipped away from the kids. But we don't have to do that every year. The biggest thing we make sure we do each year is to remember the sweetness of our love that has grown, remind ourselves of the romance we can still share every now and then, and continue to strive toward keeping those flames alive as we add more years to our count. 
Would it be fun to do something big? Absolutely. But sometimes, it's nice to celebrate the normal everydayness of our life together. Because isn't that big too?
