Introduction to Anniversary Countdown

A friend of mine spent the 49 days prior to her husband's 50th birthday doing neat little things in honor of the occasion.

Twenty years is a milestone for marriages these days and I consider myself most blessed to have shared the last two decades with a wonderful woman.

So last week, I started doing little things in honor of the occasion. 20 Ways in 20 Days is what I'm calling it. Each day I do something involving the number "20."

Folks started asking me what I was doing, so here it is in blog form. I will but the day in the title of the post to make it easier for you to read.

Enjoy!
