"I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life." - Rita Rudner
Tony and I had a fun night last night. We were both in good moods and demonstrated that by ripping on each other constantly, in that way that only good friends can do--throwing all sorts of awful names at each other, picking on every little thing the other one said, and outright mocking each other, all in a mutually-understood, completely-joking way.
And I'm not saying that we normally don't get along. It's just that it's far too easy to get caught up in all the little to-do-list items of the day. There are full days sometimes where all we discuss are who's picking up Ari, what Ari ate, how many times Ari peed on the potty, "Oh my gosh, our kid is so cute!", what we want for dinner that night, which bill we're going to ignore this month, etc. etc. Sometimes we forget to just enjoy each other's company and be silly together.
There is a comfort in a long-term relationship, but it's far too easy to become complacent and grow bored or irritated with each other. Last night, the way we were acting made me feel like we were just a couple of goofy teenagers in love. Moments like that beat flowers and chocolate any day.

How fun. Josh and I have nights like that too, where we'll just pick on each other and laugh at the same things. Sometimes it'll last a whole weekend :). It reminds us that we're best friends, and it's nice to remember that once in a while, you know?
Cool post!!
