It's real easy. Name your home of record and where you live now or an approximation if you choose not to list actual towns. And if you want to add some interest, tell us where you've been in between.

I'll start:

I grew up in Stockton Springs, Maine.

I served in the military for 24 years and traveled the world.

I now live in Hampton, Va which is approx 850 miles South of where I began.

 

<p>i was born in a house 5 houses down the street from where i live now. been here for 20 years.</p><p>i spent my first 5 on this street, then we moved to a farm across town. lived there for 14 years.</p><p>then moved out on my own 1 mile down the road. got hurt in 82 and moved to north carolina.</p><p>moved back up here to the same house down the road from the farm in 86. sold that and moved here in 95.</p><p>so basically with the exception of the 4 years in NC and various roaming around on extended vacations, i have lived within a 10 miles area in central New Jersey for my whole life.</p>

so besides the 4 years in the military,I have spent my whole life within about a 40 mile radius of where I was born.

 

Born in Airdrie Alberta,
Moved to Montreal at age of 6 months
Moved back home to Airdrie at age of 2
Lived here ever since and have no intentions of leaving the area.
Airdrie is a prairie town/city within short commute of the Rocky Mountains to the west and Alberta Badlands to the north east.

 

Born in Newport, Tennessee, almost 62 years ago.
Moved to Greeneville, TN at age 2. (Moved when Dad changed jobs.)
Moved to Kingsport, TN at age 6. (Moved again, when Dad changed jobs.)

Kidnapped by my parents (age 13) and forced to move to Brandywine, Maryland. (Mom and Dad split when I was 11. Dad came to DC to find work and when Mom and Dad reconciled, we moved to Maryland.)
I came to Maryland, raising _ _LL the whole trip!

Dad passed away 3 years ago. Mom passed away this past April. She would have been 92 on September 19th.

I have now inherited (along with my sister) Mom/Dad's house. (The distance between where I was born, to my parents' house, is exactly 500 miles.)
After I get all of the JUNK out of the house, we're going to fix it up and sell it.


Even though I've lived in Maryland longer than in Tennessee, I'm still a Tennessean at heart.
