Look out, here I come 2010!

Well, tonight's the night. It's the end of a decade and what a decade it's been. A lot has happened the past year, let alone the past ten years. I'm going to do a top ten list of sorts for the 10 biggest things that happened (at least in my world) over the past 10 years. This was a challenging exercise for me and made me wonder--am I really living life to the fullest if I had a hard time coming up with significant experiences over the past 10 years? I was hoping to come up with things like, this was the year I went to x or did y, but most of my significant events have to do with degrees or work. Although I look that this and feel professionally accomplished, I also feel a little socially sad.
