NextAnniversary
Calculates the next anniversary of an event after the initial date on the Gregorian calendar. Use the original event date or the event month/event day as a parameters. The optional parameter, preserveMonth will determine how to handle an event date of 2/29. Set to true will use February 28 for a standard year anniversary and set to false will use March 1 for a standard year anniversary.

}Example
DateTime hireDate = new DateTime(1998, 10, 5);
DateTime nextHireAnnivers = DateTime.Now.NextAnniversary(hireDate); // Returns the next occurance of October 5.
DateTime nextAnnivers = DateTime.Now.NextAnniversary(12, 16); // Returns the next occurance of December 16.
DateTime leapDayEvent = DateTime.Now.NextAnniversary(2, 29, true); // Returns the next occurance of February 28 or February 29 depending on if the next anniversary is in a leap year.
