My husband and I would love to move! We hate the summers here. But my elderly parents depend on us to help them out. So, we leave for the summers and let my siblings take charge while we are gone. We have discussed many times where would we move if we could. We have not settled on a place yet. Our possibilities so far are- Asheville, NC, Fort Collins, CO, and Cheyenne, WY.
I played the parlor game one time that asked- " If you could go back and redo something, what would it be?" I stated that I would move away and go to college somewhere out of state, or move out of state early in my career. I still feel that way.
What is/was the primary determining factor in your home location?
It's where God has put me.

I don't like moving and treasure stability. For that reason once I graduated from College and was married my wife and I moved to Austin, TX to raise our family.
My oldest child was 3 months old when we moved to Austin, Texas and our next two children were born there. We lived in Austin for 16+ years until my employer offered me a wonderful job opportunity in Nashville.
Sixteen years before I had chosen to move to Ausitn for the economy, weather, educational opportunities, arts, and most of all a good strong exUPC church.
I would not have taken the promotion to move to Nashville had there not been a strong Spirit filled Jesus name baptizing exUPC church here also. I have now been living in Nashville for 8 years this month.
I don't think that's a sad thing. My husband and I were both born and raised here in our little town and after moving away for a few years, we're right back home. I don't want to live anywhere else.
I like the fact that when I go to the grocery store I have to figure in extra time because of all the people I'll see and need to chat with.
I like the fact that some of the teachers that I had in school (who were just out of college at that time) are now the same teachers that my boys have now (who are now ready to retire)
I like the fact that my doctor is also my mother's doctor and my brother's doctor and my niece's doctor, etc. He can make good 'family connections' that way. He knows that my mother is diabetic, for instance, so he's watching for that in me as I age.
I like the fact that when my boys ride their bikes to the store, if they stop on the way to do something they shouldn't, someone will call me and let me know so I can handle it the minute they get home.
I like the fact that my kids are safe riding down to the park to watch a baseball game and even riding home a little after dark. There is always someone there who knows them and will watch after them, just as I do for their kids when they are not there.
I could go on and on............. I just wanted to say how glad I am to be living in the same little town I was born in

Is that "bobbed" hair I see on that pretty girl in your avatar? Is that your daughter?
yes, it my daughter, Jessica. She got her brothers together and had that pic taken as a surprise over a year ago for my birthday. She's been away at college in Austria for the past two semesters and is coming home next week. Can't wait to see her and hug her again.
Bobbed and highlighted.

You said that you "stayed" there. But, you did move!! See the difference?
I moved out of state 3 times. Always to come back. It must be the water.
Anyway, after that I moved to the next town over, then back again a few
times.
Instability, yes. But, I'm almost still young. If I had a family, I would become
stationary.

You have a good looking family! Congratulations on your daughter coming home. That is a long time to be away.
Our daughter spent a month or two in France when she was 19 and it seemed like an eternity. Not to mention the two tours of duty in Iraq our Marine son had.
