A Decade.

This was my Facebook status update 10 years ago. That means Vu and I moved out of our last New York City apartment 10 years ago today (with the immense help of Earnest, down from Boston, and the kind hospitality of our friend Kate, who hosted our small menagerie of couple and dog and bird right after). We left on very short notice because of the shifty landlords. It was a weird way to leave.

It also means that it's been almost 20 years since I packed a Suburban to the gills and moved to NYC for college.

I was raised in Texas, but I grew up in New York City.

I have a lot of feelings about this jumble of anniversaries.
