It's the longest I've ever lived in one place since I was kid, and it's frankly a little bit terrifying how quickly time slips by without the major upheaval of a move to use as a point of reference in time.
See, it was the other way around for us: we bought a "starter" house in Wichita in 1995, and lived there "twenty years on the two-year plan," as Boeing folks used to say. ("I'm only going to stay a couple years, until I pay off the car|finish school|get the Christmas bonus" and they end up retiring from there.) And then we moved to the Jersey Pinelands/Shore in 2015, and then to the Philly outskirts in 2017, and suddenly we know "wow that was back in Wichita, that was at least four or five years ago!"
