I made the biggest promise of my life and pledged to be passionate and compromising until death parts us. I've read in the New Testament where it says that people are neither married nor given in marriage Up Yonder but I told Chris good luck in shaking my spooky specter off his leg anyway.
I've learned a lot about men and marriage these past eight years. Marriage is a lot like learning to walk with a leg that has a mind of its own. Sometimes you trip over each other and fall down. Eventually you get better at putting one before the other and making the whole walking thing work.
I don't care if it sounds sappy; if I had to make a mental list of the qualities I would ask for in a husband, I'd say that I've gotten more than I listed. And he just learned to iron.
- "IF ever two were one then surely we.
- If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
- If ever wife were happy in a man,
- Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
- I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
- Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
- My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
- Nor aught but love from thee give recompense.
- Thy love is such I can no way repay,
- The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
- Then while we live, in love let's so persevere
- That when we live no more, we may live ever."
- - Anne Bradstreet
Congratulations!
Congratulations Lady and The Sexy!
Congratulations!
Happy anniversary, you crazy kids! :)
I love the leg analogy. Happy anniversary!
Woot! for The Lady and The Sexy!
OK, here's how big a dolt I am. When I saw the "Happy Anniversary @Shockcitymusic" this morning, I figured that it was the 8th year of Shock City.
I even sent Chris a congrats message regarding Shock City.
He straightened me out, though.
This is even better! I've been married for 16 amazing years and wouldn't trade it for anything. I got more than I would have ever had on a list, too, if I had a list.
We should be shouting this sort of thing from the tops of buildings to combat the growing idea that all marriages will eventually end in divorce.
Congrats again! (and sorry about being such a dolt...personality characteristic I'm apparently stuck with)
Congrats Dana!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Eight years is nothing to sneeze at these days. It's been 17 years for me and my hub and while I seem to complain about him more than praise him, I wouldn't trade him for the world!
Awesome!
Congratulations. :)
congrats to both of you crazy kids.
Very sweet (and who says you can't be sappy about your man?!) Happy Anniversary!
I'm very happy for you two and aspire to have that happiness one day myself.
Congratulations on eight years! Next month hubby and I will be celebrating the same event (and the same amount of time) Here is to many more years to come!!
Happy Anniversary! Ain't love grand? So has he ever mastered loading the dishwasher properly? Yeah, mine neither. But, you gotta love em anyway!
congratulations :)
We share the same wedding anniversary ... we are on number 13.
Happy Anniversary!
Congrats and Happy Anniversary. Here's to more and more years to come until you are old and sitting on a porch rocking in a rocking chair still nagging him about the dishwasher.
finally some good news to celebrate in the world.

Congratulations! I have always loved that passage from Anne Bradstreet, and considered it mine for my DH. If there's anyone I'd be happy to "share" it with, Dana, it would be you.
Best wishes for many more companionable years together.
