2003 was bookended by two of the most significant changes of my life. The year began with me stepping into a new job. At the time, it felt like just another career move, having bounced between roles over the previous three years. Little did I know that this would become my place for the next 20 years, a cornerstone of my professional life. As 2003 drew to a close, my wife Hope found out she was pregnant — with twins. Soon we would be first-time parents of 2 babies! What seemed like a year of just one new beginning quickly turned into something much bigger. These weren't just run-of-the-mill changes; they marked the start of a whole new phase of my life, where commitment and purpose would mean more than ever before. With all that happening, it's fitting that Such Great Heights by Postal Service tops my list of songs from that year. More than just an electro-pop masterpiece, the song embodies the wonder and excitement of a new connection that feels destined. In a year filled with unknowns, possibilities, and a sense of stepping into something bigger, it served as the perfect soundtrack.
