I shopped last minute (the night before) for an Anniversary card. My son was with me and we took a lot of time
selecting it. The final choice was between two – one he found and one I found. He said, “Mom, get the one you picked.” I did.
The next day, my husband and I opened cards and we got each other the SAME card! He got his weeks ago when he was out and saw the perfect card. It was about family, home and love’s role over the long haul. (And 27 years is a long haul.)
While we aren’t the same in some areas like timing and planning ahead, apparently we are like-minded in others: We both make good choices.

That would never in a million years happen around here. I am very impressed. And 27 years is a long haul indeed. We’re 10 years behind you, and exhausted.

Happy Anniversary! And it’s funny that you picked the same cards. Sorta like completing each other’s sentences.

Thanks for the good wishes – and Karen, not to worry. After the next 10 years it gets easier. (Either that or your both too tired to make any changes…)
