I was born on march air force base in california then we moved to west virginia where my brother was born a year and a half later...
then we were transferred back to california not sure of my age. then we moved to pheonix arizona and waited until my dad got family housing in germany( rein mein air force base) but we lived of base and went to school on base. I was 5.
we were transfered back to the states (lackland airforce base) in san antonio texas. we lived on base for about 6 months until my dad bought a house. then we moved off base until he retired. parents got dicorced when i was 14 and we moved to nome texas by his sister. but she was a royalB... so we moved to sour lake texas close to my moms family. i lived there for a bout 10 years until my husband and i bought our property and we have been living there since
Jadeicing_ I know what you mean I would like to have stayed where my friends were . I still get antsy about every 2 years to move... It makes my husband nervous

Dave was born in Wisconsin and transplanted here (to Northern Indiana) when he was 8 years old. I was born here, and my parents still live in the same house.
We both were college commuter students to Indiana University - South Bend campus,and Dave did ROTC at Notre Dame at the same time.
After we married (like 4 days later...), we moved to Denver, CO for his Air Force specialty training. We were there 6 months, and it was a perfect spot for "honeymooners" like us. We went to the mountains and different national parks every weekend. SO beautiful!
From there, on to Sumter (Shaw AFB) in South Carolina. We lived there for 2 1/2 years. Total culture shock for a couple of "Yankees"....which we had never considered ourselves, as we are mid-westerners. But, if you're not from the South, you're a YANK. We liked it, except I hated the heat of summer. Wearing shorts to Thanksgiving dinner was nice. But summer temps like95 degrees, and 95% humidity, by 9 o'clockin the morning?? UGH!!
We moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, when Dave transferred from the Air Force to the Indiana Air National Guard. He was a full-timer on the base in Ft. Wayne. This is where all of our kids were born, and we put down some DEEP, DEEP roots there. We lived there for 12 1/2 years. It's our adopted hometown and we still visit friends there. Our oldest, Jeff,has recently joined his dad's former unit in Ft. Wayne.He will be movingback there this coming year to train at the base, and attend Indiana-Purdue University (IPFW). (It's also no coincidence that his love, Paige, attends IPFW).
In 2000 we moved to our present area, near South Bend, Indiana. Dave went to part-time status with theIndiana Air Guard until he retired in 2006. He's been working here in the RV industry since, as you allknow. It was "coming home" to move back here,but veryweird, too. It's our hometown, but we hadn't lived here in 16 years! There was a lot of adjusting to being in the same town with theextended family. Dave's folks are in their 80's, and mine are in their 60's, so we are glad to be here to help them and spend time with them.
So that's our story, or at least the first 24 1/2 years of it. I suppose we will grow old in this townand be buried here, some day!

Not much variety for me I'm afraid (other than multiple addresses). Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, lived in Dartmouth (stone's throw across the harbor) until I was 30. Then my son and I moved to Ottawa (needed to get away from my ex-husband, needed a new start, etc.) and I've been here ever since. (My son's the lucky one, he escaped to Toronto. )
I still wanna move to the U.S. :?

I have lived in many different houses, but not that many towns.
I think I added it up once and including where I am now I have lived in 19 different houses since I was born :shock:.
I moved from Hastings to Auckland when I was 10, then when I was 12 I moved back down to Hastings for a bit to live with my dad and we lived in 3 places in 3 months, then I moved back here and mum always like to shift so we skipped houses many times, sometimes once a year.
In the last 16 years of living in Auckland I have been on 13 different streets :shock:, including this one. But I've been in this place for 3 years now so feeling pretty settled.

I was born in Flushing, NY and for the first 9 years of my life my dad was in the Navy so we moved around a lot. When he was discharged we settled down in Bay Shore, NY because Long Island was where all of our family was.
When I was 12 we moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I lived there until I was 33. I met my husband on a vacation in the Bahamas and he whisked me off of my feet and moved me out to Newport Beach, CA in 1993. In 1996, he got a contract to work in American Samoa (the armpit of the Pacific). We lived there for almost exactly one year and then moved back to California. We lived in Huntington Beach, CA until June, 2004 when we relocated to Ormond Beach, FL. We had decided to relocate because California was just too crowded and expensive.
I love owning my own home in Florida, which we would never have been able to do in California, but I still miss California. I really doubt we'll move again - at least I hope not. Our house will be paid off in one year and I think we'll be staying.

I've always lived in Clare, Ireland. I love Ireland but would love to travel. What I'd really like to do is travel a bit, my aunt loves to travel she's lived in Hawaii, Miami, Ohio, Cyprus and currently is in London.
What I really, really want to do is move to America for a year before college and work there, maybe New York, (watch too much sex and the city lol) or somewhere, I'd really love to getinto a rabbitry, help out there a bit in my spare time, go to some shows and stuff. I would absolutely love that, since we have no shows or anything here it would be a great experience, well I have, like two years to decide if I'm going to do it or not.

I never made friends. I hated having to move every so often. Towards the end the house we lived in for a few years....They didn't know I lived there! I would go to school early than work than home. I have 5 friends that I have kept!? In school I had lots but I just gave up trying to keep them wasn't sure how long I would be there. That may say I lived inmostly Springfield but Springfield is VERYBIG. So it was not easy to keep up with friends.
I never bothered decorating my room. What for to have to move and pack? I would do it as an adult without kids but if I did have kids I wouldn't. Now I won't go because I have an awesome vet.

Wow....... you're life is eerily similar to mine. Born in Pharr, TX. Dad joined the army and we moved to San Antonio. Reassigned to Biloxi, Mississippi. Got stationed in Weisbaden, Germany. Moved back to San Antonio, TX. Dad retired and we moved back to McAllen, TX. I went to college in San Antonio, TX and now I'm back in McAllen.
I also get very antsy after being in the same place for a couple of years. I'm getting that itch already.

Wow, what a variety. I fall somewhere in between the "close to homers" and the "well-traveled" ends of the spectrum.
- Born in Michigan and grew up in Frankfort, Michigan in the same house for most of that time (very small town-47 in my high school graduating class)
- Went to school in Kalamazoo, Michigan
- While at college, went two terms in Aix-en-Provence, France
- Also while at college, went one term of internship in Washington, DC where I lived in Dupont Circle and had about a mile walk to the White House (very cool)
- Graduated, got married and moved to Boston, MA for three years
- Moved back to Michigan in the Flint area to be near family (at least the same state) and have been here ever since. We had planned to move back to Washington DC at some point but that is never going to happen and I love where we are now and plan to stay for quite a while.

I was born in Berlin and lived there till I was about 22. I travelled quite a bit since I was about 17/18 and then I came to Ireland and settled. I hadn't planned to but it just happened.
i'm not entirely happy here.I experienced a lot of racism and general xenophobia and ended up being driven out of the house I owned and I'm renting a house in the suburbs of Cork at the moment. My partner is English and has been living here for 9 years. I absolutely hate the Irish weather and I so long for continental summers and winters I was used to before.
If I ever went back to Germany it would be Berlin but I can't quite see myself moving with all the kids
