Tuesday Roll Call

Where are you from?  Where do you live now?

dancingtreepose

I was born in central Florida but grew up in southern Maine.  Now I live in northern Vermont.  I LOVE the Green Mountain State!

bartonolivia

I’m from The heartland of Indiana and now I’m in central Indiana! We are hoping to move somewhere warmer once I graduate college! 

willashbaby

I'm from Long Island NY, I live on Long Island NY  No plans on leaving until I retire (21 years to go!). I do want to encourage my kids to leave since it's so hard to "make it" here. If they leave I will follow when I can (and probably bring my Mom with me if she's still here).

I live in St. Louis, Missouri (well, the outskirt suburbs).  I was born and raised in the town I live in now - about a 10 minute drive from my parents. My husband and I lived on Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, CA for 4 years when he was enlisted in the Marine Corps. We moved back here when he got out of the military since we were both from here and this is where our families lived. We're really close with my family but his mom has passed away and his dad is in a nursing home now. 

We would probably move if it weren't for my parents being here.

We live in Grand Blanc, MI, and I grew up in Ann Arbor, MI. We will likely move for my work some time during this pregnancy, so that is a little daunting. I just want a new job before I start to show. Although one positive of COVID-19, is video interviewing.

cmj689

From NJ and now in GA for the last 9 years. Potentially moving back to NJ before this baby is born 😬

willashbaby

@cmj689 I have a friend that just did the opposite! She moved to GA from NJ just a few months ago. 

gh1219

From MI, now living in TX!  Traded bad winters for bad summers.

I live in Ontario Canada along Lake Superior! We get all four seasons where I am and they are all stunning and I just love my smaller city! 

antera23

From Montana and now I live in wine country Oregon 

bearmomma1

Born and raised and living in the Bay Area, CA!

cmj689

@willashbaby yeah we are probably the only people that would move back to NJ lol but I just miss my family too much! I was hopeful they would all slowly migrate down here but 9 years and no luck. There’s so many transplants down here though. I’m sure your friend will love it!

@cmj689. We just moved from NC to GA last year.  I am originally from VA, so a ways from home as well. Both our families are still up there.  We just bought a house a few weeks ago, so I guess we are sticking around for a bit.  

willashbaby

@cmj689 her family IS down there so it was her going back home basically. She had come to Jersey to work and ended up getting married and having kids. She wanted to leave to get a better quality of life (college professor) and did nationwide searches for well over a year before landing a job in GA that pays the SAME as her Jersey job did. I think they went from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 4 bedroom house for LESS, lol!

bkinn26

I'm in central Ohio and just moved back into my hometown 😊

cassafrass15

Born and raised in beautiful desert of Southern AZ. Our families are mostly here, and I love the heat and loathe the cold, so this is where we shall stay! 

jbal918

I’m from Staten Island but now in NJ since I was little!

shelmcclel

I'm in Tampa, FL (born and raised and still here) - left for a while to live in NYC and then inevitably came back to FL to be closer to family. Miss the city all of the time (except for maybe not really during this crisis), but happy to have more space down here to add a tiny human to our family!

BmcD2016

@gh1219 what part of Texas are you in? 

Born and raised in North Texas. I hate hate hate every summer here and this will be my third summer pregnant. 

gh1219

@BmcD2016 Houston!  Wrapping up 4 years here   

luckypenny11

I was born in Indiana, grew up in Georgia, then lived in Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts.  I'm currently living in Portland, Maine and absolutely love it here (despite the winters!).  

@dancingtreepose - what part of sourthern Maine are you from?

feather_heather

I live in a suburb a little north of Boston, MA! I was born in Vermont, raised in Massachusetts, went to college in Missouri, grad school in Kentucky, and now I'm back home!

dancingtreepose

@luckypenny11 I grew up in Sanford/Springvale but I've also lived in Lebanon, Wells, and North Berwick. My husband is from Kennebunk, right down the road, but we actually met here in Vermont on Match.com   Small world.  Portland is a cool city- love all the seafood!

jchpg

I'm originally from the west coast, have lived all over the US. Now we are trying to settle down in Texas.

mindyb2019

Born and raised in a small town called Sparwood BC Canada but now I live in Langley BC(just outside Vancouver Canada) Love it on the west coast! 

charmedlifex3

We moved all over growing up (My dad worked for the military) so I am not really "from" anywhere. My family is from VT, so I moved here to be closer to them, and my parents followed me when they retired!

@dancingtreepose @feather_heather Hey Vermont!!!! No one is ever from Vermont, lol. 

thankfullyamama

@mindyb2019 yay another Canadian gal!

mindyb2019

@tryingktogku yay. Woo hoo for another Canadian. 🇨🇦

sierra2020

@shelmcclel You are not too far from me!

Born and raised in Orlando, FL here.

akoros

From Philadelphia, lived in VA for college and now have been in DC for more than 10 years (yikes). Family's kind of scattered, but my in-laws are relatively close which is nice.

Jealous of all of you in BC (or the Pacific NW in general), I absolutely love it up there

dobiemom11

@akoros. Where is VA did you go to college?  VT grad over here.  

akoros

@dobiemom11 Mary Washington, it's much smaller (and less-known) than VT I visited a friend's brother at Tech years ago, it's such a pretty drive to get down there!

JBcakes08

@feather_heather where in MO did you go to college? 

feather_heather

@JBcakes08 - I went to SEMO!

mrspants0809

👋🏻 hi I’m am born and raised in Utah.

llamamamawearspajamapants

Born in Minnesota, went to grad school in Indiana, studied in Russia and Ukraine, now I’m back in the Minneapolis area :)

I’m with you southern Ontario - four distinct seasons are pretty great! Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves to get through the winter..

dobiemom11

@akoros. I actually looked at Mary Washington.  My dad thought it was so cool that the day we toured, there were people climbing and rappelling out of the trees.  I ended up at VT since they had a Biochem degree and Mary Washington made you pick between Bio and Chem.  Didn't get a Biochem degree, but I do love my Hokies!  

mindyb2019

@knottie041fd92fd62a2223 What part of Minnesota do you live in? I’m Canadian but when I was much younger, I lived in Minnesota for a little while. I lived in Hibbing.
