in the last ten years...

Can you believe it is almost 2010?? It feels like just yesterday we were ringing in the year 2000. It seems to have flown by rather quickly, yet when I begin to reflect on what has happened the last ten years, it all adds up to quite a decade.

In the last ten years, I...

• traveled outside of the US for the first time (London, Rome, and Paris in 2001)
• got mono (on the tail end of above trip... fun)
  
• lived in and did my internship in NYC, just months after 9/11
• co-choreographed my first (and only) musical ("Cabaret," in case you were wondering... but that's a story for another day...)
• graduated from college (go Blue Hens!)
  
• got my first job
• joined Friendster
  
• leased my first car — Cindy the Civic :-)
