Sounds like a perfect excuse to enjoy a really fabulous meal at your favorite restaurant. Steak? Lasagna? Spaghetti Bolognese? If you were closer, I'd cook for ya!
Wow - congrats! You could write a letter to your past self, looking at your thought process back then and letting "him" know how things have turned out thus far :) (seems to me like you were exceptionally wise and insightful at the time)
