A friend of mine posted a decade-in-review post to his blog recently and it inspired me to do something similar. Mostly because this is a great point in my life to look back at how I got here and it happens to neatly coincide with the start of the decade. And because when I sat back to think about it I realized that the 2000's will probably end up being the most dynamic and important decade of my life.
I started out the naughties as a student. I graduated, got engaged, moved to another state, started my professional career, bought a house, got married and later became a parent. In short I grew up. I can unequivocally say I developed more individuality in this last decade than in my supposed formative teenaged years. Throughout the 90s I had a pretty vanilla personality. I didn't care too much one way or another, I didn't get worked up about things. Since embarking on adulthood I have developed my own personality and voice, learned who I am, who I am not, etc. I'm still changing, in fact. I'm not sure i'm 100% happy with who i've become, but I'm glad I'm *something* and not just vanilla.
So with that in mind, I started writing down the notable events that have happened since the start of the 2000's. I'm doing it for me more than anything. and maybe abby. I want to write it all down before I forget things. It ended up being a really long, and probably very boring narrative. I'm breaking it up into more manageable bites and will post these in the coming days.
