I am also nearing my 3 year mark and to be honest it's not really important to me at all.

I've talked to several who feel the same way you do. Congratulations on almost making the 3-year mark!

I realized this year just how little certain dates mean to me now. the only time I notice is when its raise time or prepping for the SFC board. For me, its just another year.
