I know, I know. 2010 isn’t quite over yet, but it’s close. It’s hard to believe that this decade is almost over.
As I think about this last decade, my mind goes to two events. 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Of course this is because those are two events that happened on American soil. The photos really depicted a hurting, confused and frustrated nation. Although these are terrible events, there were tons of other terrible things that happened in the last ten years. Such as the financial crisis, war in Iraq, the Indian Ocean tsunami and Michael Jackson’s death. That last one doesn’t really go with the other things listed, but I’m leaving it.
There were also a lot of great things that happened as well. It’s always seems harder to name the good things that happened, but here are some of those:
Lance Armstrong won his seventh Tour de France.
Electronics became even thinner.
YOUTUBE
100 million iPods sold
twitter
The list really could go on for a while.
Now, I won’t mention presidents because some of you would put Obama in your good column. And some of you would put Bush in your good column.
For us personally the biggest events were getting married, finding out that we were pregnant and moving to Colorado. The last ten years were huge!
Anyways,
What was your big event of the decade? Good or bad.
I adopted a beautiful baby girl from the United States.
so cool! congratulations!

I can’t believe that that we’re at the end of the decade. It’s been an eventful 10 years.

Yeah, it’s been some rollercoaster of a decade. My personal biggest event was moving to China – now 3+ years. Globally, 9/11 is hard to see past – the repurcussions are still reverberating around the world today.
wow, China? so awesome friend

I call it the “anything goes” decade. Of all the trend decades, this one took the cake. It really makes me wonder what comes next. In this decade though, the worst thing that happened to me turned out to be my biggest blessing! If I anticipate more in the next, I will truly be happy!
there ya go!

I began the decade with my dad dying on Dec 31st , 2000. I moved to Texas and moved from Texas. I lost my boss to a car accident which in turn meant I had no job. Started my own business and ended the decade with getting married in April of 2010. Enough though it was a hard decade, it has been good too. Learned lots and grew lots.
geez. sounds very eventful. sorry about those deaths to people who you were near to. That’s never fun. Glad you grew and came out for the good though. 🙂

My husband says he has 2 of them. Moving back to Idaho and receiving Christ. I started laughing and said shouldn’t that be 3.
ha!
