Ten years ago today, I moved from Ottawa to Chicago and started work at the Tribune (yes, on the same day — that was a trick). Today, as I look back on this past decade, it’s been one filled with professional ups and professional downs, personal highs and personal lows, some things expected and many things not.
I’ve grown a lot, met many great people and had a lot of fun while also becoming much wiser, falling even more in love with my favorite city in the world and, most importantly, finding the love of my life (you’re the best, Debbie). Without a doubt, it’s been the most tumultuous, most exciting and most interesting 10-year span of my life so far, and I very much look forward to seeing what the next decade will bring.
And so to celebrate my milestone Chicago anniversary, I’m off to Wrigley for a Cubs game. Because, c’mon, in the end, I haven’t changed *that* much. 😉
