#Microblog Monday 273: Love
Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

Josh and I celebrated our 18th anniversary this weekend. 18 holds special significance in gematria because the way you write the number 18 is the same way you write the word “life” (because our letters all have a numerical value)… sort of. I mean the letters are in an opposite order, but STILL. Everyone associates 18 with “life,” hence why you get things from people who are Jewish in denominations of 18. Seriously, every Jewish adult can multiply anything by 18 in their head. It’s like a special skill you build once you reach an age when you start writing checks.
So we spent the weekend at the beach, reading and walking and eating ice cream and testing out our interest in birdwatching. You know, just living life.
I always thought that when we hit our 18th anniversary, we would do something huge like a hot air balloon ride around the world (because I’m mega-realistic). But it turns out that it’s better to just live life. Plus I’m scared of hot air balloons.

Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! A weekend at the beach (in cold weather no less, lol) sounds perfect. Living life well is the best celebration.
And thanks for the explanation about why 18 is important. I love languages!
Happy Anniversary! 18 years, wow. I did not know that about 18 being a special number and gifts being in denominations of 18, that’s really cool! I think your anniversary celebration sounds much better than a hot air balloon around the world, which sounds like a whole pile of things that could go wrong. May you have many, many more beautiful and significant anniversaries!
I just love this little post, mostly for the mega-realism.
Happy 18th anniversary of your life with your besherts.
(I know that’s grammatically horrible.)
