End of a Decade


So here we are at the end of another decade. It seems appropriate to write about major milestones in my life during the last decade so here goes:

  • Served in the United States Marine Corps (1999-2003)
  • Adopted my two best friends: Lecter and Clarice (2002)
  • Lost my Mom to cancer (2002)
  • Stationed in Kuwait/Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003)
  • Promoted to Sergeant (2003)
  • Got married/divorced (2002-2005)
  • Worked my way up to become IT Director at Batteries.com (2003-2008)
  • Attended the Super Bowl w/ my Dad and watched the Colts win! (2006)
  • Sold my house and moved to New Jersey (2008)
  • Started my own Web Development Company (2008)
  • Met the girl of my dreams! (2008)
  • My Niece was born: Indiana Brooke Dundas (2008)
  • Wrote Professional WordPress (2009)

The thing about life is it’s not always a rose garden, but that’s what makes us who we are. Here’s to a great decade ahead!

    Great list and cool to look back on what has passed.

    But the decade hasn’t finished yet. There is still one more year to go. 2001-2010. :-)

    Happy New Year
