Laura and I are celebrating our third anniversary of being together today! Yes, that’s right - our 3rd.

See, we started dating on Leap Day: February 29, 1996. Years which are divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years. So 2000 was our first anniversary, 2004 our second, and today is our third.

The funny thing is that Laura asked me out on that day (I was told by a mutual friend to wait), and according to tradition,

In the English speaking a world, it is a tradition that women may propose marriage only on leap years.

Anyway, happy anniversary!
