Anniversaries

We were married 8 years ago today. It seems like a century ago. It's strange to think that most marriages don't last this long. I like being married. I can't even fathom dating again, or not having someone around to hang out with all the time. Lots of people say that after the kids grow up people don't have anything in common. I don't think that's going to happen. We'll be young enough to enjoy it. We want to travel.

Also, I'm so glad we're not getting married now. I'm weddinged out. Nothing is original anymore. We go to so many weddings I actually get sick of them. Some are fun, some we look forward to, but most not so awesome.

On a side note, anniversaries aren't that exciting. We just had a pretty normal night. He sent me flowers, which was nice. We stopped celebrating it years ago. Maybe that's the secret to success?!? The kind of people who need tons of attention and elaborate presents are in it for the wrong reasons. It stops being about you and more about us (which is even truer if you have kids) I think we've spent the last 4 anniversary weekends at the Brewers. We are planning a nice trip for our 10 year since we never really did take a honeymoon. Is it sad that I considered taking the kids? I kind of like them.
