How did you get 'here'?

Nope, not a lesson in the birds and the bees!

But how did you get to where you are living right now?

Still living very close to your birthplace? Immigrate from another country? Pack up and move after college and never looked back? Job transfer? Military service? Got married to someone from the region?

If you care to, share how you ended up living where you do right now.

For me, born in this general area, and have stayed here. Like to travel a bit, but pretty much like where I live.

Born in NYC, raised in NYC, and still live in NYC. Different areas but NYC is home sweet home.

I've lived in Atlanta since 1970, the summer before 10th grade.

My dad was with the "phone company". He was transferred to a few different cities in the northeast and then to Atlanta.

I've loved everywhere we lived but, while I'm a Yankee in my heart, I'll never leave Atlanta. I'm a bloom where I'm planted person and I'm deeply rooted in Georgia now.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Born and raised in Mass, east coast. Bought a house when married and we are still in the same area. I like being close to all my family. Just hate the winter though.

Was born up in a small town in PA, moved to a city with husband, returned to same small town without husband. Now live outside that small town (without) second husband and love it.

I am three minutes away from where I spent my childhood. We would have liked to have left the area so my husband could have had better work opportunities, but when we married, my mother was terminally ill and that kept us here. Once she passed, my dad was left alone and neither of my siblings really wanted to be there for him - so that left me - again.

We had a boat in a Marina in this area for 20 years. Actually my husband had it before we met. We wanted to buy a vacation home here but couldn't afford it.

Time flew by...my DD got married and wanted to buy our home (the home she grew up in). She and her new husband moved in to our home and we moved to a home here on the coast. That was 5 years ago and 2 grandsons ago.
