08/08/08

August 08, 2008

We've outlasted the marriages of people who predicted the demise of ours. We've ended up a million years from where we started, and from where we probably expected to be. I tumble into tired clichés every time I try to come up with words worthy of this anniversary, this milestone, this day like any other day, really. We'll wake up on 08/09/08 and...keep at it, for another 10, 20, 60 years. If I get to be that lucky.

10 years, in two-and-a-half minutes. It feels like that, sometimes.


10 Years (Take Two) from amalah on Vimeo.

Music: Together Forever in Love by Go Sailor.

(EDIT: Sorry for the video glitch. I uploaded in the middle of major site maintenance at Vimeo and lo, there were Issues. I've reuploaded it and I think everything is working now.)

Congrats on the anniversary!

(Mmm, the video that you posted only 7 minutes ago "no longer exists"...well, at least it's not working.)

We have our 10-year anniversary on the 29th. It's awesome. I'm really happy for both of you. :)

Oh come on it's not working punk. J/K

But I did really want to see it DANG

congrats. and i wish that your video worked! :(

Posted by: Tiffanie | August 08, 2008 at 12:13 AM

Yay! Congratulations...it's my birthday on 8-8-08, too, and they say that number (8) is the number of new beginnings (or so I've heard) so I hope this is a year of all beautiful new beginnings for you! Happy 10th!

Posted by: ML | August 08, 2008 at 12:14 AM

Congratulations. This made me well up!

Posted by: Snarky Amber | August 08, 2008 at 12:22 AM

ok i was all geared up for a 2 min video and like everyone else said it is gone!

We have just had our 14 year and i have to say I am excited about the 15!!

Congratulations!

Posted by: linda | August 08, 2008 at 12:28 AM

Dood. I just walked all the way across the room and shut off the music cause I was all pumped for the vid (I have seen your Noah vids and the preciousness is off the charts). Now my ass has to walk allllll the way back over to the music box. Might as well refill my wine while I am at it. Way to go on ten yrs, video or not.

Posted by: lindsay | August 08, 2008 at 12:40 AM

Happy Anniversary!

Posted by: Missy | August 08, 2008 at 12:42 AM

on second thought I should lay off the wine. It is your ten yr anniversary and I am sending complaints about a video not working at one of many sources of free entertainment. Just leave the vid for next yr and make it an 11 yr thing if it suits you. CONGRATS! I love how the internet celebrates marriage like no one else.

Posted by: lindsay | August 08, 2008 at 12:43 AM

Congratulations! You two are such a great couple!

(Do wish the video were working, though!)

Posted by: vague | August 08, 2008 at 12:52 AM

Happy anniversary, kids!

(But I really wanted to watch that video!)

Happy anniversary!

Congratulations on 10 years!

From one who's also celebrating our 10th on 8/8/08 - yes, it's just a day like any other, but it's nice to reflect and see how far your partnership has taken you. Especially if there's a nice restaurant with a yummy chocolate dessert involved :) I love your description "We've ended up a million years from where we started, and from where we probably expected to be." That's definitely us, too, but we're happy with the path we've chosen and where we are now.

Cheers, to many more decades together!!

Congratulations! Here's to many more years together!

Happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy anniversary, HAPPY anniversary!"

Today is my dh's 40th birthday! He always's asks for the same present for his birthday, LOL. He'll be "getting" it at 8:08 p.m. on 8/08/08! He better REALLY appreciate it!

Posted by: Cheri | August 08, 2008 at 03:12 AM

Damn...I should have really written, "it better not take more then 8 minutes" HA!

Posted by: Cheri | August 08, 2008 at 03:13 AM

Congrats! We celebrated our 10th on the 2nd!

Happy anniversary! I'm a fan, just not a commenter. I'm coming out of my lurking cloud to let you know, though, that you got married on my 19th birthday. I know all that I've been through since then, and I truly envy and commend you on being with one person through it all and being stronger than ever.

Posted by: holly | August 08, 2008 at 07:18 AM

Rawr. Sorry for the double post.

Posted by: holly | August 08, 2008 at 07:22 AM

Congratulations on 10 years! (Our 10th is next year.) Looking forward to the video.

10 years--whoa. I'm feeling all successful about our FIVE year anniversary coming up. Heh.

Congratulations, and may you celebrate many more decades together.

Posted by: Jezer | August 08, 2008 at 07:50 AM

GAHHHH. DAMN YOU VIMEO.

Reuploading now. NO idea how that happened, since everything was working FINE last night when I scheduled this to post.

(10 years of marriage and this is the first glitch ever! HA HA HA.)

Posted by: Amalah | August 08, 2008 at 08:02 AM

Happy Anniversary.

I can't get the video to work for me. When I click on it I'm told it doesn't exist.

Posted by: jodifur | August 08, 2008 at 08:06 AM

Congrats on a decade.

Posted by: Jamie | August 08, 2008 at 08:11 AM

Wow! 10 years is a serious accomplishment; it's no easy task to hold a relationship together for that long (especially considering how young you both were when you got married). That takes a huge amount of love and dedication. You should both be very proud. Congratulations!!

Posted by: Adrienne | August 08, 2008 at 08:12 AM

You have a beautiful family. The video is priceless it amazes me when I think of all of the things me and my hubby have experienced in the 13 years together.
Happy Anniversary and heres to a lifetime of future memories

Many wishes for a happy anniversary! I hope Noah and Baby Tivo know how much their parents love each other!

Posted by: Jen | August 08, 2008 at 08:53 AM

Congratulations. What a sweet tribute. I hope you're lucky enough to spend the next 60 together, too.

Posted by: Frazier | August 08, 2008 at 08:59 AM

Congratulations on 10 beautiful years and wishing you a lifetime of greatness in your years to come!

Posted by: Lori | August 08, 2008 at 09:03 AM

I don't even really know you and that video made me tear up :) Happy Anniversary!

Posted by: Jenn | August 08, 2008 at 09:04 AM

Very sweet! Happy anniversary. Congrats on your 10 years, thanks for sharing it with us. Would you possibly be giving a class on how to make cool videos like that (Vimeo for Dummies?)I'll sign up.

Posted by: Suzanne | August 08, 2008 at 09:10 AM

I never get tired of hearing about you and Jason. Your success at marriage gives me hope when practically everyone else is divorcing.

Posted by: Janssen | August 08, 2008 at 09:16 AM

happy anniversary! what a great video :)

Posted by: andrea | August 08, 2008 at 09:21 AM
