My husband definitely has this same problem... he's technically "from" Oregon, but spent the first 12 years of his life mainly living in Saudi Arabia. And now his parents live in Oregon again and he went to college there, but I can always tell that's not really where he feels like he's from. :)<br />For me it's a toss up... I grew up in a teeny tiny town in Oregon and then moved to central Washington when I was 12 (talk about traumatizing moves... we moved in the middle of my 7th grade year!). And now my parents have lived in this small town for 20 years and we have lived just 45 minutes away for the last almost 7. So I guess I would say I'm from here now, but I do still kinda feel like I'm from Oregon!

I moved to CA in 1986 to live in Oceanside, CA (followed spouse 1.0 who was stationed there), then moved to Claremont/San Diego and lived in various parts of the city for the next 5 years (Claremont, Hillcrest, Mission Valley, Mission Bay)while attending UCSD before meeting spouse 2.0 and living in La Jolla. We lived in La Jolla for 8 years and then moved to Ramona where I've been for 10.

Especially since I've known you for quite a few years. Funny, I had assumed you were originally from Milwaukee.<br /><br />I was born and lived in Iowa until I was 20 years old. I consider that I'm "from" Milwaukee since that's where I met and married Lee and we raised our sons through their college years. For the last 20 years it's been a conundrum for me to answer that question since half the year I live in Tennessee and the other half in Michigan.Nellie's Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468773469685787840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716994764183858296.post-58082074704469885162012-02-18T17:38:37.804-08:002012-02-18T17:38:37.804-08:00You're in God's country now - would love t...You're in God's country now - would love to live in CA one day!

LOL I'm here for a couple of reasons... <br /><br />1) To add answer the question in this post: I've lived here in upstate NY my whole life, (all 50 years) and have lived in only 3 different houses. Honestly, I love to travel and visit new places, but no matter where I've gone, I've always been happy to come back home. and...<br /><br />2) I wanted to ask you to stop by Go Ahead, Take A Bite when you get a chance and pick up a little somethin' that I'm passing on to you.

The town where I went to HS was the kind of place where everyone had lived forever. (Some of my teachers taught my classmates' parents and many of my former classmates are raising their kids there now.) I'm hoping to do that for my children here but given my track record who knows what will happen? ;)acasarellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924780892471238948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716994764183858296.post-62004062476174505922012-02-16T07:29:40.378-08:002012-02-16T07:29:40.378-08:00Let's see. 29 years in New Jersey (same house,...Let's see. 29 years in New Jersey (same house, same town for 24 of those years!). 19 in Chicago (same house for 17 f those years).
