I consider myself an "Island Girl" even though I didn't get there until I was 9½. I grew up and lived for 27 years on Vancouver Island (Nanaimo and Victoria) except for a brief stay in Ottawa for University and Burnaby (Vancouver) for work. HATED Vancouver. HATED it! A lot!
Now I am in Windsor Ontario. It's not too bad, but I miss the island and all my friends/family. I don't miss the rain, oddly enough. :) I have lots of distant relatives about 2-3 hours from here as I was born in Brantford (home of Wayne Gretzky), so I'll have to get there sometime. :)

I was born in Spokane, WA. Moved to Alameda, CA. Then Eugene, OR., then Louisville, KY, Brunswick, OH., Memphis, TN and then back to WA. Now I am living in New Orleans, LA and we are talking about moving back to Spokane.
Its funny - when I was in high school I couldn't WAIT to get out of Spokane. Now that I am older and have a child, I can't wait to go back home.

Now, I'm in St. Louis. I never planned to stay here, but I met dh and he's got deep roots. I alternate between loving it here and tolerating it.

small world here ... it is fun seeing where everyone is from and/or has moved ... i feel fortunate to have only actually lived in six different places ... all in the same city ...
born and raised in a San Diego suburb south of the city ... the hospital where i was born turned into a Retirement Home and in high school ... i vowed to leave that area ...
i moved more to the main part of San Diego and lived there for years ... until i met hubby who had a house out in East County ... UCK was my first thought ... i could never imagine living so far East in San Diego ... four years later ... i LOVE it ... still some things i miss about living closer to the coast ... humidity and cooler temps are the tops ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hilary ~ somehow, someway ... we will meet someday ... South Dakota has been on my vacation *wish list* for years ... it's all a matter of time ... and i just found out that hubby's brother may be moving back to Albuquerque [i butchered that i know] when he retires from the AF next year ... Sadies here we come :lol: ... you said you hate Farmington ... why? and what brought you there ...
Nicole ~ wow ... i have driven from San Diego to Fresno more than once ... i didn't even realize there was something in between Bakersfield and Fresno ...
Nichole ~ you are just North of me ... i worked in Cardiff for about three years ... and Santa Barbara is one of my favorite get-aways ... and the one place that i would like to live that is actually MORE expensive than San Diego ...
Tamara ~ the estimator at my work and his wife grew up in Ridgecrest ... and until he moved down here a few years ago ... he was on the School Board ...
Mandi ~ learning something new every day ... Evansville, Indiana ... i think ... Thunderboats :lol: ...

After that we moved to Midlothian, Texas, where we currently live - it's a town of about 7500 (growing like mad) that's roughly 30 miles south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. And it's also the Cement Capital of Texas! :lol: (Now aren't you glad to know that?! :lol: ) We can see the lights of one of the cement plants from our house, if we look out the back windows.

You should go, but make sure you just go to the Black Hills and the Badlands, the rest of the state is pretty boring! :lol:
You did spell Albuquerque right! :rahrah: It took me forever to learn to spell it.
We don't like it here because there is a VERY high crime rate, the schools suck, and I don't think we were cut out for the desert life. I miss the snow. We moved here because DH got his job at the mine.

I consider Sudbury the Ugliest City in Canada. (My Gramma lived in Nairn Centre, just west of there). I did University in Ottawa! LOVED it. Reminds me of Victoria. I did 4 months in Kingston before I moved to Windsor. I was at the Cancer Centre every week for 3 months of that. Nice city, but I'm glad I'm not there anymore. :lol:

I was born in Long Beach, Ca. Dad joined the Navy when I was about a 12mths old and then we were moved to Norfolk, Viriginia, sister was born there, lived maybe 2 years there. Then up to Groton, Conneticut for a couple years, then transferred to Bremerton, Wa. Lived in Poulsbo, Wa for 6 years, Dad retires from the Navy and we end up back in San Jose,CA for 12 years. Did a short 6-9mth stint living in Show Low, AZ(fell in love with Arizona) and then back to CA. Stayed in CA until Dad got a job offer with USAirways and we moved to Pittsburgh, PA about 5 years ago. I then met my husband online in Pittsburgh, lived there 2 years before marrying and am now residing in Edinburgh,Scotland(my husband was born and raised here, lovely scottish accent:love2: !!)
Now due to my ill health we're moving back to the states and moving to the desert of Arizona. Phoenix or one of the suburbs of Phx within the next 1-3 years..
We're on the OTL side of things...

I was born and raised in San Francisco. I went to college in San Diego and stayed there for another year after college. I now live in Santa Clara, CA, though I have been changing cities each year since I moved back up here. We've lived in Fremont and Mountain View as well. I like the south bay alot, but really miss being close to the city.

I was born and raised in a suburb of New Orleans. At 18 I moved to Baton Rouge to go to LSU. I had no intentions of staying there, but I married Brad who grew up there and had a house there. I lived there for eight years. About six months ago, we moved to The Woodlands, TX. It's just north of Houston.

I spent most of my life in the suburbs in PA between Philadelphia and Trenton, NJ.
But then I met my husband and moved to Fayetteville (okay, Haymount) NC then to NNY (Adams, actually) and now we're moving to Las Vegas in the fall.
I'm dreading the weather in Vegas.

I was born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland and came to Israel at the age of 16 to a boarding school (family stayed in Switzerland). The boarding school is located in a town called Kfar Sabba. I lived there until I finished high school (4 years). On weekends i used to go to my foster family in a settlement nearby. Then I did one year of National Service at the age 19-20 in Jerusalem (in an institute for blind and handicapped children). In 1993 I married DH. First year we lived in a settlement called Elkana, about an hour from Kfar Sabba. Then we moved to Bne Brak and lived there for 8 and something years. Then we moved to Petah Tikva, the town we now. Except for that one year in Jerusalem, I basically always lived in the center area of Israel.
I guess the names of the towns I mentioned sound as familiar to you all as do most of the town names I read in this thread...:lol2:

Was born in a North Texas town, moved out to West Texas where I lived for 18 years, then moved to South Texas to go to school and now I'm back in North Texas in a town called Garland. It's a suburb of Dallas.
Don't think I could ever leave this wonderful place!

Right now I live in Carpentersville, Illinois. We'll probably be moving sometime next year to a house (we have a townhome right now). I grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, about 15 minutes from downtown Chicago. I loved living there, but the prices for houses is ridiculous! :eek: My parents are going to make a fortune when they move since their mortgage is paid off.

I was born in Kalamazoo, MI and lived in Parchment, MI until the age of 8. Then we moved to Bloomington, MN (suburb of Minneapolis) and that's where I lived until my twenties. I have lived in a few other suburbs around the Twin Cities (Hopkins, Eden Prairie, Inver Grove Heights, St. Louis Park, Eagan) and I went to colleges in the Twin Cities as well. I also lived for a short time in Winona, MN and Osaka, Japan. My DH and I are now living back in Eagan. He grew up in Duluth, MN.

I was born in Baltimore, Maryland and lived there until I was 31. My husband's job transferred him to their Boston office, so we live in Southern NH and he commutes into the city every day. I definitely like this part of the country much more than Baltimore! :lol:

Caurie, I lived in Tarrytown until I was six, I was born at Port Jefferson. We lived in Stoneybrook for a short period and then moved back to Tarrytown. I have some memories of being able to walk down the street from our house to the Hudson Bay.
Then we moved to Indiana and basically lived there my entire life and now DH and I live in Michigan.
