@caitleah - I went to college in the UP and I loved it up there!
@klawre05 - I grew up near Lansing and have been a Spartan fan my whole life. It was a shock to my friends and family when I decided to go elsewhere for college.
I am from Michigan but now I live in Indiana. I miss my mitten state, but have a good life with DH here in IN.
Born in Massachusetts, but I have lived all over the northeast. I now live in the northwestern rural part of NJ (almost NY state) where it's beautiful and quiet and peaceful, yet only an hour from NYC so we still have easy access to everything it has to offer without the stress and expense if living too close. I absolutely love it, but my transient nature always has me ready for the next thing, so who knows where we will land??

@AppleGrapeMSTK we are in the Sandy/Draper area. I grew up on the dreaded "West Side" (West Jordan area)- you know... Where all the ground will liquefy (sp?) when "the BIG earthquake" happens. Or so my MIL loves to tell me.
How do you like Denver? I have family out there and DH travels there a lot for work recently.
Haha! I actually lived in Sandy and West Jordan at some point during my childhood. There are really nice neighborhoods in both cities.
I love Denver. The people are so nice and not judgy. The weather can't seem to make up its mind though!
New Jersey! And I'm from the part of New Jersey with farm stands, tractor pulls, and more horses than people. My town does not have a traffic light. I just want to let people know that there's more than Jersey Shore and The Sopranos!
Started TTGP July 2013 ~ BFP! 11/21/13 ~ TEAM PINK!!!

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today.
Now I can't think who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way
I usually say St. Louis, but technically I live in an IL suburb. There used to be a few ladies from the StL on TTGP, but me thinks they have all graduated.

@britt6292@Linny+Dan12 (even though she isn't taggable) - I find it so incredibly crazy, but yet so typical of Ohio that we had 95-100* weather yesterday and today and by Friday it's supposed to be low 60's!

If DH could have it his way we would be up in sac too. so much cheaper to live there. the trade off? well it's freaking hot...its flat and oh also, freaking hot. I cant really complain because its been in the mid or high 90s for several weeks but at least now its cooling off. I just love it here.
Re: GTKY... where do you guys live?

Born and raised in KY, now living in Indiana. We also lived in Melbourne Australia for 6 months in 2010.
I love Denver. The people are so nice and not judgy. The weather can't seem to make up its mind though!
So, I guess my Cincinnati is a bit loose. I moved to Northern KY about 3 years ago. Are you close to Cincinnati or a bit farther?
