I currently live in Denver, Colorado where we have been for the past two years while my hubby is attending med school. We are getting ready to head back to our home state, Utah, this summer. That is where DH will be doing his 3rd and 4th year med school rotations. We are excited to be closer to family again!

I live in Scottsdale AZ but grew up in New York. Other than the kooky politics in AZ and the fact that some people have a real "keeping up with the Jones" mentality here in Scottsdale, it's a really nice place to live and raise kids.

I'm from New Jersey. Born and raised.
DH and I would love to go and move about, but it's just not feasible. Buying/selling and moving is a lot of money. Won't work right now, but maybe down the road a bit. It's terribly expensive where I am - about 20 minutes to NYC (via car, train is 50 minutes) and 20 minutes to the Jersey shore. Plus, our biggest support system is my family all in the area. His family is scattered, but many are still in NJ/NY/PA. That said, I can't imagine not being on a coast - with the city and the shore so close, it would be so odd.

I grew up in Seattle Washington in the burbs. Now I live in a rural part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains outside of Nevada City, California (we are about 1 1/2 hours NE of Sacramento). We love living in mountain country! (Except for those rattlesnakes).....

I was born in Texas, moved to North Carolina briefly, then settled in Upstate NY (Rochester) where I grew-up and went to college (RIT). My family is all originally from Upstate NY and most of them still live there.
I've lived all over the States after college, though - North Carolina (again), Virginia, Colorado, Southern California, Alabama, Michigan, and now in Florida.

I'm from Vancouver, WA -- right across the river from Portland, OR. I miss it like CRAZY! Not only is my family there -- but this girl needs the green, trees & water that the Pacific Northwest is known for lol.
I'm currently in a place called Farmington NM -- a high desert town in northern NM, like 30min from the 4 corners area. I HATE it here and we are saving to move back home in WA summer 2015.

I was born and raised in Southern California, OC area. Went to college in Central, CA. I've also lived in Milwaukee, NYC and Boston area. I have been back in California (South OC) for the last 15 years and don't have any plans of leaving again. You can't beat the winters here.

For the next 2.5 weeks, we live in Houston, TX. Both my husband and I are from Fort Worth, TX and we are moving back. His new job is smack dab in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth, so specifically which city we will end up in has yet to be determined.

I was born in Tampa, Florida, and grew up in a little village in New Hampshire. I've lived in Newtown, CT for the last 8 years since we've been married, except for two years in Sandy Hook (sharing the Newtown post office). My husband has lived several places in the west, and wants us to go back to Colorado Springs. I'm a New England girl, but I'm up for an adventure in the west. I think a dryer climate sounds appealing since I'm always hot, but I think I'll miss green. When we visited CO Springs it was brown.

Where do you live?

My grandma grew up in that area--Farmington, NM and Blanding, UT. She was orphaned at a pretty young age and was raised by her relatives. Her uncles ran Trading posts down there, and we visited a few times when I was really young. I love reading all this stuff. It's amazing the little connections we all have.

We currently live in Crystal Lake, IL (northwest suburb of Chicago)....have lived here for 9 years.
I am from Streator, IL, which is about 2 hours south of here. My parents still live in the house that I grew up in. I was 3 when we moved a street over to my childhood house. The majority of my family still lives in Streator.

I'm in Canada! Currently in Quebec near Montreal, but we're hoping and praying for another move soon as we're all miserable here (the hubby is military and moves us around). Before coming here we were in Alberta for 8yrs, before that in Ontario. Most of our family live in or near North Bay, Ontario.

My brother studied in New Zealand for a few years for his degree. I think at Massey University. He's been to Auckland for vacation. I love the scenery in his vacation photos!

I'm in Bentonville, Arkansas - we've been here for almost 5 years. Before AR we lived in Orlando for @10 years. I miss my family in Orlando but Bentonville is such a great place to raise a family.
I've also lived in SW IL, Central IL, Sioux Falls SD, Fort Myers FL, and Racine WI.

I was born and raised in Southeastern Arizona (near Ft. Huachuca, but not military). Went to college just over an hour away in Tucson, AZ where I went to college and met my husband. After we graduated we moved out here to southern New Hampshire. I'd never been further east than New Mexico until we were literally driving across the country on our move.
To the lady from New England who wants to go west, it is brown. I'd never seen green nor seasons until we moved here, and I have trouble imagining going back. And even if it's a dry heat, 100+ degrees is still miserably hot, and the monsoons are wicked humid too. The desert does have its beauties, but I still can't get over how amazing seasons are.

Right after we left Tucson our friend's 3-year old daughter got bit by a rattlesnake, and it was very scary. In the whole time we lived there, I never saw a rattlesnake, scorpion, or tarantula (besides at the Desert Museum). We did have a cute little gecko that used to hang out on our porch light, though.

Whoa! We were there at the same time! Who knew?! I was there from fall 2004-spring 2009. Monsoon season was my favorite season growing up. I would stay up late watching the amazing storms. We had snakes and tarantulas as classroom pets growing up. We even got to hold them. Luckily we frequently had roadrunners in our neighborhood, so we rarely had to worry about rattlesnakes. Now I have to live in fear of ticks, which seem scarier than all I those. Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
