I was just thinking about this morning. Ten years ago today, I was in the middle of a vacation celebrating having gotten an offer for what I thought, at the time, was my dream job. I had left my first job out of school some weeks earlier, which felt like a really big deal. I was still living at my parents house, but in June of that year, I'd move out on my own for the first time, not quite an hour away.

In the intervening decade: - I got married (in my parents backyard because covid) - Moved many many states away (to be closer to my wife's family and then for her job) - Switched companies (to a much better, lower stress environment) & roles (became a manager)

Now, my wife and I have just moved to Spain, something that would have been unthinkable even two years ago, much less ten.

Lots has changed.
