I also switched countries. From Germany to Canada and then North Central Ohio where I got married and live now for 46 years. Children and Grandchildren and 1 great grandson are living here. I like it here. It is a smaller city then where I grew up but that's alright.

I was born in Chicago,IL, moved to FT.Lewis Wa back to Chicago area,to Japan at age 6,back to Ft. Leonardwood, MO . at 8,Germany at 10 then back to Il at 12. Since then haven't lived in same place more than 6 years until now. Planning on moving to MT next year. Guess I'm just a gypsy at heart. lol . Father was in Army so I learned early to move at short notice!!

I have lived in several areas. Moved more than 12 times. Seems like different lives in each area. Learned different things from living in each one. I live in a rural area now and I like it much better than in the city.

Born in the country and still live in same county. Have married
a military man and moved around with him but we love the
north country so came home to be near our families.

We are close enough but still far away from a nice small town
that is supported by 2 colleges and about 10 miles down the
road 2 more colleges.

Just love it here and can't think of a better place to be with all
the problems in other parts of our country.

Second generation Los Angeleno. Live in the Los Angeles suburbs all my life except one year in San Diego and one in Denver. Kids, mom, grandkids, sister, DH's family all within easy driving distance (which if you know Los Angeles is really a very subjective statement). Love the diversity of the area, one can be in city-rural-beach-mountain all in the same day, though I do dream of some place in the world with no traffic and less crime statistics.
