Default what has changed for you in the last 7 years?

sort of based on S2000Raj's thread but with my 7 years of wastedness on this site...

what has changed in your life in the past 7 years?

7 years is a long time. Girls that were 11 are now legal.

In the past 7 years:
  • stalked and stopped stalking C_Unit's ass...in the process of re-stalking...
  • owned 7 different S2000's
  • quit my job for about 18 months to get hired back at higher pay
  • Started buying rental properties while i didn't work... now trying to get out of that shit but will have made a fair amount of $ in the process.
  • moved out of my house.....6 months later...moved back in...doh!
  • maintained my same 175lb physique (i work out 5-6 times a week though)
  • watched my kids grow from 4 & 6 to 11 and 13.... crazy how fast that happens
  • donated blood almost every 8 weeks for the full 7 years.
  • got laser hair removal on my palms
  • drank approximately 6,000 cans of mountain dew!!!!! (diabetes here I come).

The S2000 went from "dream car" to "an old friend."

It also received many hours and dollars in the process.

Cool thread.

I moved from Indiana to Sacramento to Pasadena to Ventura.
I finished training (huge thing in my life) and got a real job.
We had 2 kids and got our dog.
We bought 2 houses.
Made a ton for s2ki friends, went to meets, learned a lot about my car.

Those were the major things in my life, plus TONS of little things.

I haven't even been living for 25 years and you've just celebrated your 25th wedding anniversary!

Congrats!
