Moving/living in different cities/countries in life

[Crankin]

Funny, Shooting Star, I don't consider myself as someone who has moved as much as say, Beth. Although I have lived in 4 states (one very briefly), most of my moves were just local moves, from one town next to another. There wasn't really a change in lifestyle from those.
Like Beth, my parents moved and I stayed on in college, for 3 years. Then my parents moved to San Diego, right when I met my DH. Though I have never considered it my home, I have spent a lot of time there, as now my dad and brother are still there (since 1979) and one son and DIL live there, too.
While I am very happy I came back to MA, I am also happy that I have the perspective of someone who has lived in other parts of the country. New Englanders are very provincial and moving when I was 15 cured me of that!

Since HS I've lived in North Carolina (Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Hillsborough, Efland, and now back in Chapel Hill) with brief stints in Florida (Lake Mary), Ohio (New Philadelphia), and Wisconsin (Richland Center). The longest we've ever lived in one house is 10 years, then 6, then the rest less than that. Now we're in an apartment and plotting our next move -- to Belize!
