10 years. 4 Kids. 8 years of school.
4 years on the East coast, 6 years on the west.
We've done a lot of living, been to a lot of places
and made endless amounts of memories.
So for our 10 year anniversary I surprised Nate with this video of us and our story.
That's a whole lotta life to squeeze into one little video.
A lot of hours, sweat, blood, and tears went into this movie
(just minus the sweat and blood).
It has now become a documentation of all my weight gain and weight loss,
along with a record of all my bad hair phases
(there were many).
The original video that I made for Nate was 25 minutes.
This would be the 9 minutes and 17 seconds, sweet & condensed version of it.
(If you scan through, my favorite parts are 2:45, 4:54, & 6:22
and Kaleb's face at 6:41? Priceless)
*Music info:
Rhythm of Love- Plain White T's
This is Love- Mozella (favorite)
Count On Me- Bruno Mars (favorite)
Other songs that I loved that didn't make the cut in the short version:
I Do Adore- Mindy Gledhill
Apple of Your Daddy's Eye- Peter Cetera
Every Day Love- Rascal Flatts (favorite)
Brand New Day- Joshua Radin
Hey Soul Sister- Train
Love is Endless- Mozella (favorite)
Life just seems so much better when you put it to music!

You guys are beautiful! Happy 10 years! :)
Happy Anniversary! I also love that my love made a brief appearance as you are leaving the temple :) Hope things are well.
beautiful video!
happy anniversary!
I've totally blog stalked you since we were in the same Valley Forge ward in Philly, I'm addicted. I don't think I've ever seen such a pretty family! Excellent video!
I don't even know your family, but I am bawling! This was so sweet. My favorite is your hubby at the beginning with the baby footprint on his hands, and the tears in his eyes. THAT says it all. Happy anniversary to you both. Love it.
Yes, it made cry too. You've done a lot of good living in the last decade!
p.s. and you made me baby hungry again.
What? Is it your anniversary today too? It's my anniversary today! Would you mind making an awesome video for me? I'm pooped.
Happy 10th, what a sweet thing to do. I know about blood and sweat, I took my son's whole childhood and transferred and edited the dvd's onto cd's for Christmas, it took over 90 hours!! Of course it was so worth it, there is no price you can put on preserving memories.

Happy anniversary!!! Is your last name John? That is my maiden name. Your strawberry cake looks delish too!! :)
So cute Gin! Happy Anniversary!!! Crazy how fast 10 years goes by.
Happy Anniversary! And what a lovely way to show your husband how much he means to you by doing a video for him! You are one special person!
Best,
Gloria
Totally made me cry! You guys were so little when you got married!! (: I want you to pick the soundtrack to my life--love these songs and I haven't heard hardly any of them. I have a feeling I would love the extended version (:
LOVE IT!!! Smiled all the way through it! Hope you had a wonderful anniversary! You have such a darling family! Thanks for sharing!
What a fun video! You had me laughing and crying and I don't even know you! :) Must be my dang pregnancy hormones.
What software did you use to make it? You just inspired me to put our life to music too. :)
You have a beautiful family!
I LOVED it! I especially loved seeing Macie wear all those cute clothes that you gave me, that my babies now have worn! So sweet.
So fun. And agreed! Much better put to music. :)
could that be any cuter?
awesome video...happy anniversary.
what program do you use?
Great video, LOVE the music! Happy Anniversary - miss your fun family :)
this so precious. I love the video and I love that you love each other sooo much. Happy 60 more anniversaries.
WOW!!! Just watched this, and I know it's obsessive, but I could watch it a hundred times over. You both are so happy.
Loved it!!!! You are such a sweetheart! I miss you guys and those cute kids knocking on my door.
that is a ton of work. loved it, i can't believe you have been married for 10 years! what program do you edit videos in? i'm clueless when it comes to that stuff.
This was edited with imovie on my mac. Super easy and user friendly!
Thanks for all the sweet comments!
Ginnie you are such a doll. The complete package. Funny, cute, loving, the whole works. No wonder you scored such a handsome hubby and darling kids. (seriously could your kids get ANY cuter?) You guys are such a beautiful family and I kinda teared up a tad. Love the music. Oh! And I haven't once touched my imovie on my mac. I'm so clueless with photo editing! But you may just have inspired me to figure out how to even open up the program. ha ha.
Oh, and how did 0:58 seconds not make it onto your list of fav moments? A real woman dips her man. Awesome! So cute. Happy Anniversary. Belated.
I meant I'm so clueless with video editing. Not photo. Although, when I think about it, I only know about 5% of photoshop's capabilites too. So, I guess I'm clueless in both areas.
Allegra, I know for a fact you're not clueless about photoshop. I would say your percentage is a lot higher :)
there were some parts of that where I really wished the sound worked. boo copyrights. :)
For some reason my computer would not play this until today and i loved it!! Super super cute..i love your family makes me want to have babies. Happy 10th
