Profile: Mid-20s/Female/Married I'm an executive at a sofware company in Southern California and travel the country doing consulting for my clients. Much of my time is spent at the Church of Scientology or on the computer or playing badminton (that's my excercise). My blog will cover all sorts of random things that occur in my life and whatever is on my mind. Enjoy.

Anniversary Gifts by Year
My second anniversary is coming soon, so I started to browsing the internet to see what the traditional gifts are for each year of your anniversary. I was quite surprised to see that they're not very standard. Many are consistent from site to site, but a few years, simply do not agree. I decided to compile a list for myself based on my research and want to share them with you.
