Yesterday, I celebrated my one-year anniversary of living here in DC.
A year ago yesterday, I landed in Washington DC, moved into my apartment, started a new job, and embarked on a new adventure, a new journey in life. And my, what year it has been.
In the past twelve months, I have discovered the joys of having my own fireplace, helped someone find their way in a new city, celebrated my 27th birthday, been separated from and reunited with a dear friend, been inspired, flown in a hot air balloon, rediscovered the joy of travel, rethought my career, stared into the clouds, taken a much-needed vacation, grieved for my grandma, tried wearing contact lenses, got in a fight on the Metro, hiked through the Blue Mountains, and ushered in the new decade in the most spectacular of ways.
Yes, what a year it has been.
Over the past month, I’ve been asking myself a common question that comes with any anniversary: what’s in store for the next year ahead? It’s hard to predict the future, but I do have some answers.
For one, I’m moving back home. Back to Toronto.
I haven’t figured out all the details yet — in the next few weeks, I’ll share more information about the reasons for my decision and what it means for the future — but I should be back in Toronto in early April, ready for new adventures, new opportunities, and new experiences.
Again, expect more details later. For now, I’m off celebrating my one-year anniversary in DC, and looking forward to a new and exciting year ahead.
This is the best news I have had in 2010.
Welcome home my friend.
It’s very hilarious to type this, but I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Glad to hear you’ll be back in TO.
An early welcome back to Canada :)
We like having you here (even though I’m all the way on the West Coast). Come by for a visit sometime…

Aw, thanks everyone. I can’t wait to be back in Canada, in Toronto, and to see you all soon!
Hurry back, man. We need to get working on that “Catcher” screenplay. RIP JDS.
Haha. I thought of our screenplay as soon as I heard the news. Jerry Lewis is probably getting it, you know. :D
