What's changed in your life in the last five years?
Got a new cat, had a baby, lost two aunts, saw my mother fight off cancer (so far, so good), got an adult job, lost weight, regained weight, bought a new to us house, father-in-law lost a lobe of his lung, failed to sell old house (not so much a change, that, though).
In the last five years so little has changed in my life it is almost scary. The kids have gotten taller.
