8 years in

Last week Big V & I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. Then last weekend, we were very lucky to be a part of a good friends wedding.  While I respect and am very proud that we have been married for this long, I know there are many people out there who have logged in many more "married miles" than I.  But I believe we can all admit, you really learn alot about someone in 8 years of marriage.  All of this anniversary and wedding business got me thinking... Big V & I wrote our own vows when we were married, now that we are 8 years in what would I add to those vows?

Big V,
Here we are, 8 years into marriage.  We have learned so much about love and living and each other.  I would like to add the following things to my wedding vows...
Even though you may know I am wrong, thank you for letting me figure it out rather than pointing it out.  Sorry, I always point it out for you.  I'll try to work on that.
Thank you for accepting my ever changing opinions.  (Lord knows I change my mind A LOT!) I like to think I'm keeping things interesting by keeping you on your toes... (I never knew you had such good balance!)
I'm an awful housekeeper, I make piles but will not accept your piles.  Just putting that out there. (8 years too late, huh?!?)
I will always watch Friends if it is on, thank you for still laughing at it (even when it's the episode you have seen 24 times), and thank you for laughing at all of my Friends references.
I am a miserable pregnant woman.  There is no way I could've know that when I first made my vows to you,  but now that WE know that, thanks.  I can't believe you were willing to put yourself through the awfulness of pregnant me twice!
I always laugh at my own jokes, thanks for joining in.  Actually, thanks for joining me in all of this.  This crazy life we have together is better than I ever could have imagined...
