I know some people included this in their intros but where is everybody from? How long have you lived there? Do you like it or is there somewhere you would rather be living?

I live in Canada just outside the GTA (sort of right between Toronto and Buffalo). I've lived here my whole life and I love it. I don't think there's anywhere I would rather live but I would like to be able to travel with the kid(dos) as she/they get(s) older and spend extended periods of time in other countries.

I'm in southern Indiana...born and raised. I would LOVE to move somewhere south, but DH just got an awesome promotion at work so we're stuck here for the foreseeable future.

Born and raised in MN and love it here, although the cost of living is stifling when it comes to raising kids, but we have so many great parks and things to do. I love our cold winters and warm summers, although we have had mild winters recently that kind of has me worried.
I would love to someday live in Colorado, I hear it's a lot like Minnesota, but with gorgeous mountains. I would also love to live in Alaska, I spent some time out there as a teenager and would love to go back, the mountains and scenery were breathtaking. Would love to do an Alaskan Cruise someday.

PA born and raised, I like it. Aside from a decent amount of ice during the winter I like having all 4 seasons. I think it's a great place to raise a family.

I live in NJ now but work in Philly and lived in Philly for 8 years so it's still like my second home. I love our house but would love it more if it were in Philly but there's no way that could happen, especially with the size of yard we have. I would also love to move to Savannah one day.

Well I'm right between sweetc129 and sammysam! Pry only about 3 hrs from sammysam. I live in the middle of the Fingerlakes in Central NY. This is where DH has lived for the last 20? years. I have lived in B.C. and California and short amounts of time several other places. I moved here to marry DH, and really like it. I think I would like to move somewhere else in US/Canada sometime, but DH and I have very complicated feelings about it lol.

I am in Ohio. Been here all my life and I don't see us ever leaving. Most of our family is right where we are or very close. We live in our dream house in a great school district. Neither of us have jobs that would really try to take us out of the area.

I live in Alaska. We moved here when I was a kid and we stayed. I love it here. We've been going to visit extended family for the past few summers again. I love all the things we can do, see and eat. But I am always ready to go home.

I'm in Ohio too nuggetrn. Born and raised! We live about 3 hours from where I grew up, so we're not too far from family/friends. I don't see us leaving Ohio ever, mostly because it would be way too hard to leave my family. My job can go just about anywhere, but MH's job is keeping us in our current town. We like it here though, much more to do than either of our hometowns and we've made some good friends here. I could definitely do without the long winters, but I also love that we have a variety of seasons, sometimes all in 1 day!

We're in central KY. We moved here 2 1/2 years ago for DH's job. We do like it but it's very different than RI/MA where we lived the previous 10 years and DH is originally from. I'm from Ohio and we're much closer to my family which I love! I would love to live in a bigger city again but DH just got promoted so we're here for now.

I'm in Ontario too. I'm a first generation Canadian, wouldn't move out of the country for anything. I moved to a small town last year. There's no delivery here ::sigh:: but I like it.

Just moved from Boston back to the Midwest. I miss Boston daily. I'm envious of all of you ladies who like where you live.

We live in North/Central Alberta. The only thing I don't like is how far away from everything we are. The closest city (over 10k) is over an hour away. Family is 4+ hours away ( this I don't mind so much sometimes).

I'm in upstate NY, very close to the finger lakes alwayscheese. We've been here for about a year and moved for DH's work. Before upstate we lived in Los Angeles for 7 years and we miss it a lot. We don't have plans to stay here forever so we'll probably move again in a couple of years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in the Baltimore area. Cost of living is pretty high, but I love it here. I only wish we were closer to the beach!

snowmoon I'm jealous! I've spent 2 to 4 months on Georgian Bay every summer since I was born. I would love to live up there but SO is a city boy...so I settle for the summers. At least teaching gives me the time to be able to get up there. It's nice that there are a few of us who are fairly close to eachother!

I'm originally from Va, but I'm currently living in Tn. We've lived here 7 years now when my DH got a new job here. It's nice enough, but I really want to move back. It's hard being away from family, but we're here for the foreseeable future.
