Where do you live?

I'm was born in Surabaya, East Java, but grew upon Bali until I was 15. I've lived in Shepparton, Australia for 2.5 years then spent 10 years in Liverpool, UK, where I studied studied and studied and where I met hubby. Currently, we are living in Beijing, China, where hubby comes from.
We've been talking about moving and so far, our options include Singapore, Australia and Canada… We'll see….

I can't believe you lived in Shep. That's so bizarre.

I live in Glenburn, Maine, about 2.5 hours from the town I grew up in (Rangeley, Maine). We are in the process of moving to Bangor, Maine (only about 10 miles away) and will be completely moved in a couple weeks (DD chose Bangor High School for her HS education so we're moving closer - only about 2 miles from the school and it's an actual city so much closer to everything, including my office for when I actually have to go there).

I've lived all over - Japan, Hawaii, Guam, San Diego, Virginia, and South Carolina (Marines) and came back to Maine when DH died to be near both our families.
 
I'm in MN, about 30 minutes from where I grew up. I spent a year in grad school in Chicago, then moved to Idaho for 6 years, Ecuador for 1 and Seattle for 6 months before coming back home to be near family. The winters are really starting to get to me, but we have to stay here for at least a few more years because of our youngest son's medical needs.
 
I was born in Tampa, FL. Grew up in South Florida in Fort Lauderdale and lived there most of my life. I have also lived in (in order):

Scarborough, Ontario
Erie, Pa
Rock Creek, Oh
Clermont, Fl
Coral Springs, FL
Kew Gardens, NY (Queens)
Kissimmee, FL
Lorton, VA
Stafford, VA

and am currently back in Central Florida in Sanford... home of the moronic George Zimmerman scandal

eta: we move frequently due to dh's job. But thankfully we have been here over 2 years now
 
A Texas girl until 11 months ago. Grew up in the southeast corner of Texas (Beaumont) but my adult life I've lived in College Station, Houston and Austin. Then, 11 months ago, the move to Florida! And if any of you Central Florida girls want to take me in, I'd be crazy enough to meet up sometime :)
 
I live in SE Missouri about an hour and a half away from where I grew up in NE Arkansas. In between, I've lived all over the place though. DD is 13 and in her 12th house/apt I think. After so many years of living so far away I'm loving being close to home!

Kim, we are doing a Central Fl meetup the 24th, we have a FB group as well you are welcome to join us. I think the 24th is in Tampa and I think Jacinda will be there, if her trip pans out :wub:
 
I was born in the Chicago, IL suburbs, but I call Utah home. I'm from a decent sized town about 10-15 minutes from Lydia. Currently, I live in the corner of Texas/Mexico/New Mexico thanks to the army, before this we were IN savannah, GA, Naples, Italy, and then I lived in W Yellowstone, MT as well.
 
I was born in Ft Worth, TX, then moved to a couple places in MO during childhood (Kansas City and Farmington) then moved to Moore, OK when I started jr high. Lived in the OKC metro area since then. Currently in Norman, OK. I would pack up and move to NC in a heart beat though. My hubby isn't as adventurous but I want to BAD!
 
I know this will come as a shocker given my screen name, but Seattle, WA :) I've lived in Seattle all but about 5 years (in my teens) of my life.
 
I'm from north central Ohio :) Currently living in Wa state, about to move to Texas for a while - so not looking forward from the weather change!! I spent a couple months in Tx years ago, but didn't get out much, so I'm looking forward to getting out more this time! I've also lived in Ga twice, but so far, Washington is my fave, and I'd loooove to stay here forever.
 
I like in the Oklahoma panhandle. My mom moved me here when I was seven from the OKC metro and I've lived here ever since, except when I was away at college. Since we farm, I don't see us ever going anywhere.
 
I currently live in Denver, Colorado where we have been for the past two years while my hubby is attending med school. We are getting ready to head back to our home state, Utah, this summer. That is where DH will be doing his 3rd and 4th year med school rotations. We are excited to be closer to family again!
 
I live in Scottsdale AZ but grew up in New York. Other than the kooky politics in AZ and the fact that some people have a real "keeping up with the Jones" mentality here in Scottsdale, it's a really nice place to live and raise kids.
 
I'm originally from Northern California (Bay Area/Central Coast) but currently live in Houston, TX after living in San Antonio, Colorado and Seoul, South Korea. We've been here a year and will be moving again next summer although where to is still very much up in the air.
 
I'm from New Jersey. Born and raised.

DH and I would love to go and move about, but it's just not feasible. Buying/selling and moving is a lot of money. Won't work right now, but maybe down the road a bit. It's terribly expensive where I am - about 20 minutes to NYC (via car, train is 50 minutes) and 20 minutes to the Jersey shore. Plus, our biggest support system is my family all in the area. His family is scattered, but many are still in NJ/NY/PA. That said, I can't imagine not being on a coast - with the city and the shore so close, it would be so odd.
 
I grew up in Seattle Washington in the burbs. Now I live in a rural part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains outside of Nevada City, California (we are about 1 1/2 hours NE of Sacramento). We love living in mountain country! (Except for those rattlesnakes).....
 
I was stationed at Beale for almost 3 years. We liked driving up to Grass Valley & Nevade City!

I live in Luxembourg but I was born in Austria. And one day (!!!) I want to live in Alaska! Yay! :-D
 
I was born in Texas, moved to North Carolina briefly, then settled in Upstate NY (Rochester) where I grew-up and went to college (RIT). My family is all originally from Upstate NY and most of them still live there.

I've lived all over the States after college, though - North Carolina (again), Virginia, Colorado, Southern California, Alabama, Michigan, and now in Florida.

Kim - if you PM me your facebook info I'll add you to our Central Florida Scrappers group. If there is anyone else near Central Florida PM me as well.

We are meeting on May 24th in Tampa and our guest of honor will be Jacinda...all the way from New Zealand!!!
 
I'm from Vancouver, WA -- right across the river from Portland, OR. I miss it like CRAZY! Not only is my family there -- but this girl needs the green, trees & water that the Pacific Northwest is known for lol.

I'm currently in a place called Farmington NM -- a high desert town in northern NM, like 30min from the 4 corners area. I HATE it here and we are saving to move back home in WA summer 2015.
 
My step-dad's family is from Farmington. My mom & step-dad lived in Aztec for, NM for like 5 years. She doesn't miss it. ;)

I was born and raised in Southern California, OC area. Went to college in Central, CA. I've also lived in Milwaukee, NYC and Boston area. I have been back in California (South OC) for the last 15 years and don't have any plans of leaving again. You can't beat the winters here.

Hahaha! I don't blame her. My hubby used to want to live here (like "settle down and never leave" type of live here). After being here for a year, he's SO ready to go back home lol.

My mom moved to Stockbridge, Ga in 2011. And all of her family is in the area. I have a few Great Aunts still in Florida, but that's about it.
