August 1. It's been one year since the 35W bridge collapse, a fact which those of you who are tuned into the Twin Cities media could not avoid. While that was a tragedy, that's not why this date is important to me.
The one year anniversary I'm celebrating is a happy one. Last August 1st was my official first day at my job. The day that I knew absolutely for certain that we would be moving to Minnesota! I didn't actually arrive here until the following week, but I started getting paid (the most important part) on the first of the month.
This year has flown by and has been filled with so many wonderful moments that I would have missed - and did miss for the nine years prior. I wouldn't trade my experiences in other cities for anything, but there truly is nothing like the feeling I have here. It's one of belonging, almost one of home, while having the advantages of a progressive, liberal, open-minded city. For me, it's the best of both worlds.
It's also Angie's birthday today - the big 1-9! Although she doesn't read my blog, I'm sending wishes her way.
