This decade will be the first that I can actually remember, in it's entirety (I was 5 in '90, so I don't fully remember all of the 90s).
News wise of course there is:
9/11
Katrina
Bush elections
Obama's Election
the drug war that erupted across the border (here at least, it wasn't like that before)
Personally:
graduating HS
moving out on my own and gaining the independence I needed
joining Alpha Phi
graduating college
traveling
experiencing a hurricane (hey that's cool to a desert dwelling Texan lol)
that's all i can think of at the moment

Hmmm....so much has happened in the last decade.
*I went from high school freshman to Master's student (and will have said Master's before the decade's over).
*There's been a lot of loss...my grandmother, grandfather, favorite uncle, great-aunt, great-uncle, favorite singer, and 4 pets all died in a very short space of time.
*I've also had a LOT of friends leave my life only to realize that weren't very good friends (but it still ripped me apart). I'm pretty okay with this decade leaving--it's been hell.
On the upside: I had my first boyfriend, first date, etc. Went on my first out-of-country vacation, my first cruise, first trip to NYC and other places I'd never been. I've had some good times. It wasn't all bad, I guess.

while celebrating my SIL's b day tonight, I just remembered my brother and best friend I lost in Iraq...bro would have been 37 next month.
yeah...it's amazing the things we find and lose in the space of 10 years.
