A little Saturday Poll

Stolen from MM (thought it would be an interesting question to ask here)

Where so you consider yourself from? 
Why?

Re: A little Saturday Poll

  • I will always consider myself from Colorado, regardless how long I've been gone. I think DH will feel the same way about Arizona. 

    Eta: as for the why- I was born and raised there and it has a special place in my heart. Plus Colorado is awesome-sauce. DH said because its where he lived as child and grew up.

    I changed my name
  • Definitely Pennsylvania. Even though not one single part of my family even lives in my hometown anymore I still consider it to be where I am from. I wonder if I'll ever have a reason to go back there...
  • I'll always be a New Yorker. I'm never giving that up.

  • CA, both Southern Cal and the Bay Area. I grew up in both places because my patents had joint custody. 
    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • Illinois. We moved around while dad was Army but when he got out we settled there and it's where I spent my teens.

  • Missouri. 

    I was born in KS, but we moved to MO when I was a toddler.  We lived in MO until DH and I were PCSed.  Our goal is to stay in NC for the long haul, but we'll always be Missourians.

  • I'll always consider myself from Vegas.

    Why? Because I was born and raised there.

  • I'm claiming MO too.

     While we were all over as a young child, most of my adolescence and young adulthood was there so that's home.  It's also where my mamma still is, which is super important.

  • Minnesota. I lived in the same tiny town from birth until I went to college, so that will always be where I'm from. Although, when people ask, I usually just say the Twin Cities, since nobody's heard of my hometown. I did go to college in the TC and lived there until I got married, so I guess it's half true. 
  • Connecticut. My dad and stepmother are still there, and I spent almost 25 years there. Never plan to live there again though.

  • Pennsylvania. I grew up there and that's where all of my friends and family are. I love it there and can't wait until I can move back!

  • Ohio. Born and raised until M's military journey began. I will always be a Buckeye at heart.

  • Oh gosh. That's a tough one. I now consider Las Vegas "home" because we own a home here and we don't see ourselves leaving for a while. BUT...when people ask where I'm from, it's Austin, Texas. I think I'll always be a Texan in my heart. I just love it there. And it's probably the coolest place I've lived besides Chile. 
    I was born in Tampa, FL, lived in Alabama, Arizona, Utah, Texas and now Nevada. 

    I'm a Texan y'all.

    Missouri. 

    I was born in KS, but we moved to MO when I was a toddler.  We lived in MO until DH and I were PCSed.  Our goal is to stay in NC for the long haul, but we'll always be Missourians.

    Represent! I include both Missouri and Arkansas. But I usually just say Missouri since I finished high school and college there.

  • Texas. Because even if I wasn't from there, I would want to be.  

     Just kidding ( a little ).

    Because I was born there, raised there ( in a few different cities) and that's the only place that really feels like I have a large history.

  • Texas. I've never lived anywhere but Texas. Specifically, I'd still say I'm from San Antonio since I was born and raised there, even though I'd been here since 2004.

  • Texas always and forever. 

    It is where I was born, raised and have been fortunate enough to live my entire adult life.  I know we won't be here much longer but it will always be home.

  • Maine. 

    Born and raised there but moved away when I was 19. I'm not sure if I'll ever live there again..we'd love to settle down in NC or VA, but I love to claim it as my home base.

  • I'm from Western PA! I was born and lived there until the Navy moved us to FL.

     

  • I definitely consider myself from Florida, because I grew up there. But I've lived in California for about 6-7 years.  So, when DH and I travel abroad and someone asks where we are from, we say California!  I guess because it's the most recent place we've lived. Weird huh!
