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.

Please come make cool videos of my whole life - please? I'd like to be able to re-live the last 15 with my wonderful hubby in 2 1/2 minutes like that. Sort of the Cliff's Notes version! SO FUN!

two fist pumps in the air for you guys!

for having been only married for not quite five months, and getting the 'well, is she knocked up? is that why they're getting married?" looks. i can now be like SEE! those people! on the internets! made it and were OUR age TOO! and all like, so screw you old people who have forgotten how to live.
but of course much more respectful sounding and all.

happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, and many many more.

Also, I didn't know it was legal to get married at age 12, as you apparently did. ;)

Posted by: Sadie | August 08, 2008 at 04:48 PM

awww...you guys are so young in those early pics! How long have you been together total? We'll be celebrating 10 years together on the 27th (and celebrated 7 yrs of marriage in June).
Congrats!

Posted by: Colleen | August 08, 2008 at 04:57 PM

Happy Anniversary! My husband and I are 8-8-98 too! :) (I picked it because I knew he couldn't possibly forget it!)

Posted by: alison | August 08, 2008 at 05:16 PM

Happy! ten years. So fantastic, true love is.

Posted by: Kerri Anne | August 08, 2008 at 05:18 PM

Congratulations on your 10th! It's a lovely video.

Posted by: Kristen | August 08, 2008 at 05:29 PM

Congratulations on hitting the 10 year milestone.

I remember when my husband and I hit it two years ago. It was like a miracle that I thought would never happen and we are happier now, today, than we've ever been.

Here's to many more years of happiness for you and your husband.

Posted by: Lisa | August 08, 2008 at 05:46 PM

Holy tears today. First the US olympic flag bearer, and then your video!!

Congrats to you and Jason!!!

Posted by: Annie | August 08, 2008 at 05:56 PM

Happy Anniversary! The best is yet to come...

Wow! That's pretty amazing.

Posted by: SAJ | August 08, 2008 at 08:25 PM

Congratulations! You two are adorable! And just look at what you're creating!

Posted by: AJMick | August 08, 2008 at 08:53 PM

*Sniff, sniff* You had to go and make me all emotional, didn't you? I don't even KNOW you and that made me all mooshy inside.

Congratulations on a decade together! (Or married, at least)

Happy Anniversary! Adorable video!

Posted by: Carrie | August 09, 2008 at 12:52 AM

Very touching. It's been 20 years of a very unlikely marriage for us while the harmonious couples are all falling like flies. We thought we were doing it all wrong, but maybe we weren't.

Posted by: corine | August 09, 2008 at 01:09 AM

You two are spectacularly lucky to have each other. Congratulations on ten years, that was heartwrenchingly beautiful.

Posted by: Kristin | August 09, 2008 at 01:11 AM

De-lurking to say:\

Aww that's adorable! Congrats!

Posted by: Gigi | August 09, 2008 at 02:49 AM

Happy anniversary. You guys look so cute in the pics and it's so great to see a couple so happy after 10 years. Gives me back my faith in the human race! x

Posted by: starrynite | August 09, 2008 at 03:31 AM

Your video made me feel all mushy :)

Posted by: gingermog | August 09, 2008 at 09:30 AM

What's all this "Ooo, you looked so young 10 years ago" business? You still look young today!!

Posted by: rachel beto | August 09, 2008 at 09:39 AM

Yay!!! clap clap clap Great job on that. Keep loving each other. We all look forward to another 2 and a half minutes!

Posted by: Cuban | August 09, 2008 at 10:03 AM

Congratulations on 10 years! You've aged a lot less than your husband -- what was he, 14?, at the start of this video? :-)

Posted by: Rattling the Kettle | August 09, 2008 at 10:53 AM

Awwww! congrats on 10 years! i hope you had a wonderful anniversary!
You two are so cute together!!

You guys are a hearty dose of adorable.

Happy anniversary!

Posted by: caleal | August 09, 2008 at 06:00 PM

I never comment, but Amy, your marriage really makes me believe it can work. Not in a fairy tale way, but like you work at it and keep working at it and it ends up just being worth it. Happy, happy, happy anniversary!

Posted by: Kate Elizabeth | August 09, 2008 at 06:52 PM

Congratulations on all your happy years together. :)

Posted by: Kimmers | August 09, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Congratulations on 10 years!!! The slideshow was beautiful.

Posted by: amanda | August 09, 2008 at 10:50 PM

awww, AMY! 1., I got teary at you as the most beautiful bride, then 2. aww, baby Ceiba!, and then 3. squeee! baby Noah! I don't know why, but Chris and I have very very few photos of us together. Maybe because when we were dating, digital cameras hadn't even been invented. But even still, we just didn't have a camera most of the time anyway. And now, we always take photos of each other, but rarely together. This photo series makes me think I need to start getting photos of us together NOW. Huge congratulations on your awesome anniversary!!! xoxoxo

Posted by: Elizabeth | August 09, 2008 at 11:18 PM

That was pretty sweet, even knowing that your husband is a Bush supporter! Ugh.

Posted by: Samantha | August 10, 2008 at 12:47 AM

oh my gosh! We just celebrated our tenth anniversary on 8/8/08 too! Congratulations from someone riding in the same boat.

Posted by: julie | August 10, 2008 at 01:45 AM

what a great video, congratulations! We just hit 10 years too and your right, it goes by so fast. (especially once you have kids!)

Posted by: workout mommy | August 10, 2008 at 01:05 PM

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

That photo of you two in the beginning is adorable.

Posted by: Loralee | August 10, 2008 at 01:34 PM

Congratulations, Amy and Jason. Lovely video as well! Noah is just the sweetest-looking little boy ever. That will be such a lovely video to have in years to come.

Posted by: Léonie | August 10, 2008 at 01:47 PM

Hey, we were married on the exact same day of the exact same year! SO COOL! Happy Anniversary!
